Here is a new eXperience:
On a warmer note, it is now September so I had to move my pineapple plantation of three plants indoors. They get to live outdoors June through August. The largest leaves are almost two feet long.
I was startled by ice just now.
Ice of a very small amount.
Inside my house.
In a cup.
My wife left her "empty" tall styrofoam glass of tea on the computer desk from three and half hours ago.
The leftover ice melted and shifted and fell every so slightly making a noise and me jump, equally ever so slightly.
Newton's Third Law of Motion?
It took about 720 milliseconds to begin to figure out what happened.
Scared by falling ice.
A friend immediately responded, telling me to insert Twilight Zone music. I thanked her.
Something from yester-yesterday that has absolutely nothing to do with scary ice:
Everywhere I go today the women are singing too loudly. I am used to a more quiet eXistence.
At least my truck is fixed - new fuel injector at spot number quattro.
OKRA UPDATE:
Discovery: The last two packages of frozen okra that I have purchased for my gumbo have had freezer burn, which was disappointing. But I recently purchased some frozen breaded okra for my wife. So today I rinsed the breading off, probably at least 95% of it before putting it in my gumbo. It had a much better look to it. The breading probably protects from freezer burn.
