you all remember Calvin and Hobbes?
Calvin: "there's never enough time to do all the nothing you want"
So true.
dented or otherwise damaged cans, what do you do?
This article in yesterday's paper caught my eye. Looks like mould to me. But. Forget the sensational headline for a minute and focus on the can. Notice how it's a little blackened around the bottom rim? I'm not sure it shows, but it looks like the can has been standing in wet conditions, the wrapper looks a little wrinkled too at top and bottom. Was it like this when it was bought? If yes, why buy it? If no, then how was it stored in the home environment? Use by date. Usually irrelevant, unless the can has been opened. We all know that once a can is opened the contents need to be used immediately, especially baby foods. She mentions somewhere in the story that the contents appeared "a bit runny". This happens when food is given to the baby directly from the can, (or jar) with saliva from the baby's mouth being transferred to the contents, which then begins to break down the molecular structure of the canned food. This isn't immedia...
As you know I LOVE Calvin and Hobbes. And that is one of many truths contained in the series.

ReplyDeleteMy wife bought all of the books
Author R. Mac Wheeler; I'd love to have all the books, but it's going to take quite a bit more saving before I think about ordering them. I'll have them eventually.
DeleteSuch a magnificent series. Translated into every language.
ReplyDeleteJoanne; every language? That's impressive. And not at all surprising.
DeleteCalvin was one smart little boy. A little diabolical at times, maybe. :) Remember the armies of snowmen he made?
ReplyDeleteSusan; yes, diabolical, I loved his snowmen ideas. I wish I had half his imagination.
DeleteNot familiar with him but no one can argue the wisdom of that statement.
