Today I learned that some people's intelligence only goes as far as their leaf blower can blow the leafs from their drives.. watched this guy blow leafs from his drive straight onto the road with no thought that they will blow straight back onto his drive or that he's creating a fucking hazard for any drivers/bikers!

I did the leaves on my front yard yesterday with my new lawn tractor. One pass and I had to go and empty the bags. I got the chute jammed up three times.  Now I have the back yard to do today. This is the second time this season and there's lot more leaves to fall yet. Oh joy...

half the people around me do this. the plow will go by, THEN they clear their driveway, but push it only as far as street gutter. i push it back into their driveways... but it's even funnier when they get stuck in it!

Today I learned that some modern hotel phones have a bunch of charging dongles in case you forgot your phone charger on the other side of the country. Which has been the first good surprise of the day!

Kingsford was one of Henry's best dealers. That is why, up to a couple years ago, kingsford charcoal had a model T on the bag. |

" Edward G. Kingsford, a real estate agent in Michigan" "A University of Oregon chemist, Orin Stafford, had invented a method for making pillow-shaped lumps of fuel from sawdust and mill waste combined with tar and bound together with cornstarch. He called the lumps "charcoal briquettes." So neither one "invented" them. Ford just found a way to use and market it and Kingsford just ran the operation. And also interesting "Thomas Edison designed the briquette factory adjacent to the sawmill" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingsford_(charcoal)
