Hotdogs

Posted at 6:30 pm MST to Technology

Tonight, for the first time in a long time, I had actual hotdogs on buns with mustard and relish. It made a nice change from treating hotdogs as just another kind of sausage meat.

I stopped at SuperTarget after work and they had a brand of 100% Whole wheat hotdog buns that didn't contain anything I'm allergic to. The brand is Cobblestone Mill -- I hope it's a national brand that I'll be able to find at the SuperTarget near home.

This is going to be a quiet weekend: I've been sick all week with some kind of laryngitis/bronchitis bug that left me with no energy. I'm finally getting better, but I don't want to push things too hard and give myself a relapse.

There are radio reports of a whooping cough outbreak in the area, too. I'm glad I got that DTP booster last summer.

Possums

Posted at 6:29 pm MST to Miscellaneous

This may be migration season for the locl opossums. Driving to work I saw two dead animals at the side of the road that looked like they might be small opossums.

More evidence I'm in a different ecosystem than I'm used to, though there were wild 'possums moving north into Connecticut when I was growing up. One very snowy winter a hungry opossum with frostbitten ears came very close to the back door of our house. We felt sorry for it and didn't know what opossums might like to eat so we tossed it several different things. I think there was some bread, and fruit: slightly overripe bananas.
