AAhhh...Tassimo

I am so thankful for my sister. She gave me a Tassimo. Not that I ever wanted one. Had never experienced the wondrous liquid that it issues into a cup. But I should have known to take her counsel. She has a passion for GOOD, really good coffee. Me too.

And Sisty...sorry I jumped down your throat..about the dawg.

Mueller Hinton

Mueller and Hinton were the smart fellas that stirred up the broth and poured it into a plate ( or a tube) in 1941. I thought there was only one kind of media for growing bacterias. I was way wrong. I started working in a microbiology lab in a Veterinary Diagnostic lab about two years ago. Each kind of bacteria likes different kinds of media. "Chocolate" looks just like chocolate, and the blood is actually cooked. Anyway it was a fun and fulfilling kind of work. Love those animals..we worked with Zoo's, too. Lots of exotic animals, birds and reptiles of every shape and form.

I am going to miss it..the micro people were a good lot..but I am going to try to get a little more creative..aspiring to be more like my sister and of course spend more time with my little fella.

Ta!

George Papanicolaou

Some 50 years ago your friend and mine, George "Pap", invented the good ol' Pap test. Since then deaths from related cancers have dropped by 70 %. What a deal for a few uncomfortable minutes with your bum up in the air, huh?

Mueller Hinton

Gave my notice at my second job, this is my last weekend.

More time to blog and to visit all you bloggers. Now I guess this means I have to get in the fast lane and buy a digital camera....eeeeehhhk!

Any suggestions? About the camera, about the camera!

Flexman

Quarantine lifted I headed down the road to go visit my little guy. Thursday night commute was a nightmare..complicated by a double rainbow, one of which was one of the most brilliant I have ever seen. I am hungry and my pal is stuck in a rut of only eating chicken, frozen corn and frozen peas. So yup, headed to Taco Bell. Now on the main drag you see lots of things some good like rainbows and some not so. Same man begging on the corner slapping his arms at imaginary things and tugging at his worn but clean trousers. At the next intersection (Tacos coming up soon) a large freaky haired bohemian type fella clad in sweatpants and a tee shirt and a red cape knotted fashionably across his right shoulder drops to his haunches and aided by his rather large walking stick does some pretty amazing, uh moves. He squats and flexes and stretches and tests his ligaments to the max. No man person should be flexing that far and to that degree on the main drag at 5:30 in the afternoon. Traffic moves, so does he. I pull into the drive up and he goes inside. A long wait at the drive up provides some interesting entertainment tho'. Soon a Medic Car (ambulance) roars up to a schreeching stop in the parking lot of the T.Bell. I am trapped in the line but can see in the lobby area. A commotion. Lots of observation going on by patrons. Medics haul out on a stretcher a young female holding an icebag on her head.

My thoughts are this: Flexman goes in to order a burrito and tries to impress young female with some mega flexos and the little thing swoons from observing such range of motion in one human being and falls and hits her head. Now down that road she goes in a Aid Car, me stuck in line for 30 minutes and Flexman marking another notch on his walking stick smug with the knowlege that he can make the girls fall.
