Okay, really this is several days worth, but it’s some odd stuff. Strange how the mind wanders. I started with food, so I can officially call this a smörgåsbord of topics. First up …

• British Food: Amy and Ben order food service in their hotel room. What do they get? British hot dogs, considered one of the grossest foods out there. Pickled, in a can, served with what looks like some seriously wilted onions. They also order Bubble and Squeak, because it sounds funny, but they actually like this. And for dessert, some sort of pudding … which we know is not really pudding … it’s a meat thingie …
• “It’s my nature.” Clever little phrase first coined by … drum roll … the scorpion who stings the frog as they cross the river, and then they both drown. Kinda’ answers the nature vs. nurture question, at least for scorpions.
• Finally, very exciting, I had to search for a fix for my Wacom mouse. It’s misbehaving, and driving me nuts. I tore the thing apart, thanks to some tutorials, but wasn’t able to fix the scroll-wheel. Time to buy a new one, but they don’t sell the mice by themselves. Maybe duct tape can fix it.

Isn’t research wonderful? Got to get those details just right.

One last thing I searched for, on Bible Gateway, was, “Why does the way of the wicked prosper?” (Jer. 12:1) Hearing about ultra-secular, atheistic people succeeding in phenomenal ways, makes me wonder why so many Christians flounder.

We shouldn’t be pathetic. “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Rom. 8:31) Shouldn’t we be awesome? Or at least weird?
