It was a blustery day for the Minot commute, but the drivin’ music was excellent — an assortment of genre-bending covers, the first song I remember ever referencing tater tot casserole/hot dish (“Easy Mark”), and Johnathan Coulton’s “First of May”, which had a twist I did not see coming.

Two of this weekend’s spiffy thrift store finds were these Betty Crocker student booklets. The Betty Crocker portrait used on both is the fourth one in the company’s history, painted by illustrator Joe Bowler in 1969.

Jinx had her vet clinic appointment to get spayed on Friday.

After shaving her belly and prepping for the procedure, they discovered poor Jinx was not a good candidate for the operation.

So, they neutered him instead.
