Still alive
Wake today. It’s cold here. It’s so cold my metaphor generator is running at about 2% capacity so I can only get it to say “It’s colder than ….”
It’s been a nice time visiting with the inlaws. Sisterinlaws drink all night and then wake to say “This milk has a horrid aftertaste” (the milk tastes fine) “Og put the bags in the sink overnight-(Canadian milk is sold in plastic bags, everyone has a little pitcher that holds exactly one bag and you pour it right out of the bag) that MUST be it, the metal taste from the sink leached into the milk!!” Yep. That’s it, for sure, the inert stainless of the sink seeped through the impermeable plastic bag and tainted the milk. It couldn’t be that the TASTE IS IN YOUR MOUTH FROM THE SEVENTEEN BLOODY MARYS YOU DRANK LAST NIGHT.
Even in the frozen tundra, I’m surrounded by people utterly out of their minds. You’d think the weather would kill off someone that nuts.

The missus has some Canukistani relatives who are crazier than shithouse rats. There must be something in the water up there.
My wife’s side of the family are all of Icelandic descent, I think that accounts for a lot of it. Good looking women, dipshit men, all of ’em batshit nuts, go figure.

Milk. Bag.
Sounds like something the government regulated into being. I cannot understand the concept of putting the bag into the pitcher, and not pouring its contents into a pitcher that can be corked and sealed. Put that open bag of milk in the fridge with the onions, cheese, meat marinating overnight in a Pyrex in fragrant spices, and tell me it won’t absorb all those smells. And its not like you can fold the bag over and clip it, or that anyone does that. Even sugar, coffee, and cereal turns if you leave the bag open to the air.
I wonder if there’s a market for novelty dispensers that look and work like udders….
milk? in plastic bags?
:o
there’s my new thingie for today…
