Oh my goodness, I have really been slacking on blogging!
Well anyway, I was walking down the sidewalk earlier today, following behind two men, not really thinking about much beyond where I was headed. Then SUDDENLY, or regularly as it happens when two people are talking, one of the men turned to the other to say something, and I saw that it was Sam Waterston from Law & Order!

At the beginning of the fair it won an award for creativity. The inventor, Abel Gonzales, won the same award in 2006 for a different recipe—fried Coke. - The Economist
