Reporter #1 was paying close attention while downloading her very important software, apparently, and now worries that iTunes might not be very good at math.

I think this is the digital equivalent of the perky hold voice assuring you that your call is very important and also next. We all know we’re not next, because we’ve been next for eleventy hours. But we like to be deceived, because otherwise we would have to gouge out our eyeballs with our phone receiver. (Hurts even more than a spoon!)

Seven steps doesn’t sound like that many. If they told you there were actually eleventy steps, you might reconsider the importance of your very important software!

We love Chopped.  It’s a fun show and we feel adventurous and cultured and foodie-esque when we watch it.

We love Ted Allen.  He wears fun footwear and injects exactly the right amount of host into his game show.

We also love the Arabic language, which is written in a cursive style always.  I mean, it’s also good if you don’t completely misspell things (see previous post), but people working in foreign languages have been known to misspell things.  It’s less understandable how this could happen, repeatedly, again, some more.

I found this one at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, which is really lovely.  It has a lovely little museum and lovely hiking and lovely things to look at.  Here, I’ll set the mood for you with some pictures I took.

The view from the top of the mountain, facing north to Tennessee:

…and looking south to Atlanta.

A miserable schnauzer who does not like hiking, even if the path is lovely.

Oops, sorry, I was trying to put you in a contemplative state of mind so you could properly appreciate this.

Ahhhhhh.

Colleen sent this in, and I thank her.  It’s pretty clearly a typo, and while I certainly agree that one should proofread pamphlets before paying to have them published, I don’t feel like I have to worry that the author actually thinks this is correct.

ON THE OTHER HAND.

This pamphlet is from a health center, where students go to have their health issues addressed.  And it occurs to me that one place where a missing zero can make a pretty big difference, it’s in the medical field.  I’d like my zero back, please.
