I've given up trying to understand the raw milk craze. Now I'm trying to understand why adults are drinking milk at all. Humans are the only mammals that drink milk after weaning, and it's not even their own milk.

It annoys me that I have to be at the doctor's office on time but they feel no obligation to see me on time.

Anybody have good tips on surviving long haul plane trips? Company sprang for business class but still... 22 hours in the air and I ain't as young as I used to be!

The price tag clearly said $8 off per pound, total $0.99/lb. And so I bought sous vide beef short ribs at Costco today for $0.99/lb. I'm sure the tag was corrected before I got out the door.
