Something in the whole chain of sending a fax is bothering me.
Save a tree, don’t print a document in order to fax it

Oh, the irony…
So, when we got the new house, I decided to “go green” and get a reel mower. It’s quiet, it does its job, it won’t pollute, it’s a small workout and you won’t smell like gas after you’re done.
Last night, while in the crawl space, in total darkness, I managed to knock down and spill on me the only bottle of engine oil left by the previous owner. So much for not smelling like the next door gas station.
Buyers beware
For Cristian’s birthday party we got a cake from BJ’s. We usually pay attention to the ingredients, but not this time, since we got cakes from them before and they were better than the ones we found in other grocery stores.
A friend’s kid got hives and they suspect it was related to one of the ingredients. Looking on the list of ingredients: about 65, out of which only 9 look remotely natural. Ethanol? (Ok, that’s ethilic alcohol, used to make everything else soluble, and maybe natural). Propylene Glycol? That’s antifreeze. Aluminium Sulfate? Titanium Dioxide? High fructose corn syrup? Hidrogenated oils?
That’s pretty scary. From this point on I will try not to buy cakes with frosting that turns your tongue blue.
