Some of you might remember the insert card for the Rolling Stones Album "Sticky Fingers" that had the red lips and tongue on it and became their logo. One of our yellow iris, sticking out its orange tongue, reminded me of the Rolling Stones' logo. I remember not long after that album came out, a friend's mom bought it, brought it home, took off the cellophane wrapper, unzipped the pants on the cover and said "Is that all it shows?"
My lunchtime activity today was extracting a guitar pick from the DVD drive on a Macbook. The second photo shows the parts of the disassembled Macbook on my desk, and the third is Annie holding the DVD drive and the guitar pick I got out of it. The pick was in a position that my old eyes couldn't see it, but I asked Annie to look in the drive and she spotted right away. It took a bit of coaxing to get it out of the drive.
How the guitar pick got into the DVD drive remains a mystery; but it seems a 21st birthday party and Boone's Farm wine may have had some influence on the matter. After extracting the errant pick, I got all but one of the 40 odd screws that came out of the Macbook back into it. The DVD tested good reading and writing CDs.
Our orchids are slowly fading as they finish their blooming cycles, but the white one is still in good shape. The orchids are really a bargain for how long they bloom. One orchid dropped all its blooms after two months and another one is down to one bloom after being with us for 10 weeks.
Puck was being a closet viper tonight, lying in wait for Laurie to put her hand in the dark closet and attack it. He also likes to do his viper routine by the light switch in the bedroom — we walk into the dark room, reach over to turn on the light, and our hands are grabbed by claws and fangs wrapped in soft fur instead of finding the light switch.
