Invisibility and Popcorn

I washed the car today at the self-serve car wash which is like the Car Olympics since I finished under the three minute mark. I hustled, people. The car looks great, I tried this new stuff called Invisible Glass and flap my pancakes, the glass really looks like it disappears. Spray and wipe and zingo, your windows are smudgeless with that extra-clear appearance.

On the way home it rained but I didn't care, the drops bounced off my invisible windshield like transparent bullets. Don't drive while watching the rain hit your windshield instead of looking through it, you might miss that exit.

In the mailbox was a surprise. It was a paycheck!! I had no idea this one was coming! Yay poor memory and substandard accounting skills! This is great because now I can get some food and keep my car payments on time! I also bet that you can tell I found the italics key! Stay tuned for more enthusiasm and highlighted points that you should remember for complete understanding of the world.

It's a popcorn night tonight, I'm not that hungry and as an adult, I can eat popcorn for dinner. I have a hot-air popper that works great, but the best way to make popcorn is in a pan with oil over heat. Air-popping toughens it just a little, microwave popcorn is crap but I am never above eating crap, and JiffyPop is cool to watch but is mostly good for camping. I tend to be an air-pop girl, simply because I am too lazy to wash an extra pan when I could be inserting italics!!!

We had lightning today as we have had every day this summer. I hope someone out there is focusing on how to catch that stuff and put it to use. Can you imagine a lightning panel designed like a solar panel? One strike absorbed into giant batteries and you could light up the New York power grid.

More storms are predicted for tonight and tomorrow. I enjoy the rain, and assume our water table is in better shape than during the past dry years. Sleep well, do good, I know you do.
