Yogurt and Climate Change
I like yogurt. I don’t like to throw it away. This has resulted in a lax attitude toward expiration dates. After all, it’s already spoiled milk. Could it possibly get spoiled-er?
Last week and into this week, I began experiencing significant internal rumblings and feelings of guilt due to a substantial personal contribution to climate change through an excessive release of methane gas. Was I getting sick? Did I have some dreaded disease? Perhaps flesh eating bacteria were working from the inside out!
While contemplating these grime possibilities a thought came: Check the expiration date on the yogurt. Sure enough, the remaining containers were a week and a few past their prime. Apparently yogurt can get spoiled-er. I’m happy to report that fresh yogurt has resulted in a fresh outlook on life and the rate of climate change has been slowed considerably.
Remembering to Blog
With all the blogs and media overexposure I can’t imagine why I’m contributing to the clutter…but obviously I am. As part of remembering to blog more regularly (more regularly than every three to four years pace I have been maintaining) I want to share with you a terrible joke that a laser key chain salesman just told me: Why did the spider cross the road?
to get to his website.
That was so bad I hope it made you smile in which case the 30 seconds I spent on the phone with the laser key chain salesman wasn’t a complete waste.
