Wise produced a variety of chips called Crazy Calypso. And they were delish. And then they went off the market :(
But! Later Wise produced an extremely similar flavor called Mambo Mania. These were also delish, and may have actually just been the first chips with a new name. Those too, alas, went off the market.
Since then, I've spent a ridiculous amount of energy trying to find a chip with a similar flavor profile, to no avail. But if anybody ever produces one, I'm going to stock up.
Nomnomnom.

I'll work my way up to it. I just get antsy thinking people will sneer.

Happy Froday!
Lordy this has been a long week at work. Not bad per se, just super busy and crazy. Some random stuff:
Any good plans this weekend? I think it's rest and relaxation for moi. Think I'll see if I can get further down the road with Ramayan -- I think I'm on episode 22 or 23 now.
Lordy this has been a long week at work. Not bad per se, just super busy and crazy. Some random stuff:
- Driving to work (south to Tacoma, heading in the direction of Oregon) this week, the past couple of days the overhead signs on the freeway are saying, "SOLAR ECLIPSE 8/21/2017 -- EXPECT DELAYS TO OREGON". I mean, how fun is that? Never happened in my lifetime and I'm as old as dirt!
- Been passing around the eclipse sunglasses I purchased (and verified that they were on the "safe" list).
- And now I understand why they're warning about driving. Coz a bunch of fools are going to be on the road and looking at the damn thing while it's happening, perhaps stopping. And possibly putting on the sunglasses while driving which means they won't see a damn thing coz those lenses are super dark! I dunno, I just know I've leaving early for work Monday.
- And I better make sure I fill up with gas today! Word is gas stations are running dry in eastern Washington and also parts of Oregon.
- New massage therapist this weekend at a new place. Alison, my beloved therapist, is not returning to where I used to go. Oh well. I've even swallowed my inhibitions and am going to let a man do the work. His name is Saul and he's from Africa. That's a very good Jewish name if you ask me.
- Which is good because I am going to see about getting a small Star of David tattoo this weekend. Gotta make sure the Nazis can find me.
- New Project Runway last night! There are these twins on there who are already driving everyone bugnuts. Am thinking they were theater kids, they've got that phony baloney enunciation thing going on.
Any good plans this weekend? I think it's rest and relaxation for moi. Think I'll see if I can get further down the road with Ramayan -- I think I'm on episode 22 or 23 now.

plaidadder: Three Democratic members of the House have introduced a censure resolution.
You can read the text here.
Censure is a formal reprimand. It is not legally binding, but it is rare, and Sends a Message. MoveOn.org originally organized around a campaign to get Congress to censure Clinton instead of impeaching him.
This may be an attempt to accomplish something less difficult than impeachment; or it may be a trial run to see how many Republicans are ready to jump from the Trump Train.
ETA: Politico: Pelosi endorses censure of Trump over Charlottesville response -- apparently at least 79 Democrats have signed.
Not directly Charlottesville-related, but interesting and could be worth asking your reps to support:
H.R.1987 - Oversight Commission on Presidential Capacity Act
To steal Wikipedia's explanation: "This bill would replace the Cabinet as the body that, together with the Vice President, determines whether Section 4 should be invoked. Under the bill, an eleven-member commission would conduct an examination of the President when directed to do so by a concurrent resolution of the Congress."
(Which, basically, shifts the power to forcibly 25th-Amendment the President back towards Congress to a greater degree, as opposed to depending entirely on the Cabinet which that President apppointed.)

In an attempt to be positive (because I've felt on the verge of a panic attack all week), here's my mezuzot. I put them up yesterday. The silver mezuzah is outside on the front doorpost. It blends in fairly well. The blue one is outside my bedroom.
I'm also trying to think of more positive things like the High Holy Day choir, but the binder is thick and I'm honestly not sure I'll manage to learn all the music in the next six weeks.
(I also want a Judaism icon. Anyone know where I can find one?)

This is factually untrue - I just finished a new book yesterday - but it does feel that way.
Recommend something to me! Especially nonfiction - I really don't read much of that, so I can promise that I'll never have read whatever you recommend! (Whereas if you recommend anything kidlit or YA there's better than even odds that I've read it.)
Later I'll post up my own list of random recommendations for everybody, but right now I really must dash.

It has been a very low energy week. I'm on "jury duty" which means I have to call in at 4:30 every day to see if I need to report the next day. I can't work (no way to -get- a one day job with no notice), so have been taking it easy.
Tazlina's paw is healing and she is beginning to actually walk on it a bit. I've gone through two rolls of vet-wrap trying to keep a bandage on it. The paw is currently encased in vetwrap and athletic tape.
My hip is still comprehensively bruised and sore. Everything else is healing well.
Got a new extension ladder yesterday so I can finish power washing the shed. The old one was about 4 feet too short. Saturday should be wash day. Need to find some plastic sheeting so I can wash the back steps and not splash the neighbours freshly painted house.
Cooked up some Dragon Tongue beans, oh, my are they tasty!
Ate the first apple from the tree here in SF. Yum. We are also getting ripe raspberries. The blueberries are done producing for this year, but the bushes are very happy.
Vacuumed out the car yesterday and checked all the fluids.
Looked at plans for making "bee houses". Some of our 1,600 kinds of bees in California like to nest in the right size hole. Drilling holes in a chunk of scrap lumber forms a nice home. I think I'll make a couple.
Ok, time to go pick up the house, it's a mess.
