Two things, unrelated, and one more unrelated thing.

1. While shopping for a new plunger, I was reading the label, and wondering, who at Clorox, Inc. has the job of writing the marketing "plug" for a plunger? SPLASH GUARD. Really? Ergonomic handle? Whatever. But by the time I had finished driving home from the store, I decided I could write a totally awesome ad for a plunger. I bet you could too, if you tried.

2. Danjo is watching some sort of cop show on TV. The main character was diffusing a bomb. You know, cutting the wires with a pocket knife, hoping he's got the right wires, and is in time, and all that. You know it's going to work. After all, when does the main character ever fail to diffuse the bomb? Just once, the strong male lead should blow up. Oops! Wrong wire! All the future cop shows with a bomb diffusion event in the plot line would suddenly become more suspenseful.

3. Also, if you are near here, Venom has a ring in an art show at our town's civic center. I haven't seen the ring yet, but I've heard it's cool.

We know robins are common birds, but we don't usually see them around here, and I don't think we've ever had one in our yard.
