WalMart in Lake Saint Louis has a new recycling box for used plastic bags. The previous receptacle, a bit larger than a clothes hamper, seemed adequate.
But, this new box is HUGE. It would make such an awesome playhouse for kids. Not just toddlers, but big kids.
Who am I kidding? I wanted to establish housekeeping inside of it.

Mild sore throat? Try a Hot Toddy.
Pour boiling water over a tea bag in a mug. Steep for 5 minutes.
While that is steeping:
Coat the bottom of a separate mug with 1 tablespoon of honey.
This next step is optional:
Add 2 tablespoons whiskey.
Next pour on a layer of ½ teaspoon of lemon juice.
Pour the steeped tea onto the honey mixture. Stir…and…ahhh.
(Of course, consult your doctor if you don’t feel well.)

Gathering information for an article, I had reason to dial the Sheriff’s Department. I got the impression, from the recording, they must get a lot of calls regarding carry/conceal. I had no idea.
The automated message states the new fee for a carry/conceal license ($100) and informs about special carry/conceal transaction hours. The voice recording also directs the caller to choose 7 for carry/conceal license; choose 8 for carry/conceal pick up instructions and choose 9 for carry/conceal renewal instructions. Wow.

Hello?
It is London calling. They want to know if we have their fog.
AFFIRMATIVE!!
