Week in pictures

[fbhjr]

As I’ve said before, I keep track of the M&Ms I eat and their color distribution.
But, this week I got a strange mutant one.

Not sure what’s up with that.

Wednesday we were supposed to get a big storm with 18"/45cm of snow.
But, it mostly missed us and we only got a very, very little bit.


So, we’re left with a bit from the winter, but not much.


You can tell winter is over because the folks who maintain the parking lot came and took down the sticks that guide the snowplows in the deep snow.


Of course, one of the stakes was still frozen into the ground.


I watched the guy try and get it out for a while, then he walked off.


He came back with a rock and pounded it until he could get it out.

I took a sort of comfort in that. Even in front of a company that makes robots, when people have a problem they hit sticks with rocks.
Maybe it’s just me.

Wednesday night I made pizza. (No cheese as I’m allergic to milk.)
I think it came out really well.


We did have some nice sunrises this week too. So, I took photos of that too.

That pizza does look pretty good!

I like I the fact that the guy used a rock, too :D

Strange M&M.

I feel so sorry for you to miss out on cheese, Frank! I just love cheese sooooo much! (smile) But that pizza looked damn good to me!

Weird M&M!!! What's that about? How could it end up that shape? Do you think somebody making M&Ms did it on purpose?

Love the rock and stick thing. We may be tied to our technology, but the basics still work! Hahaha.

(hugs)

LOL** I often eat my M&M's also by color. But YOU got a really weird one there! You're sure it was an M&M??

Rocks.. they always do the trick when technology fails. hahaha

What's going on with that M&M - you should write them a letter - they might send you a free bag :)

Poor you ... pizza without cheese??? That doesn't seem to be right ... at all!!!

that is a lot of leftover snow. have you ever tried Soy Cheese?

[malterre.livejournal.com]

We did actually but it has a strange temperature range-the rest of the pizza may be lukewarm and the soy cheese will be like lava! Also, not good reheated :( (Soy Kass)

[hindustar.livejournal.com]

sorry to hear that.

While I do very much like the frozen soy stuff. The cheese substitute doesn't do it for me.

[hindustar.livejournal.com]

Awww. =( But at least you still enjoy pizza! =)

sometimes I take the cheese off of mine too and just eat sauce and bread.

Some candy maker (I think gummie bears, not M&Ms) keeps all the mutant ones and sells bags of them (for more than the normal ones!). So you got lucky getting it. :P

[tatjna.livejournal.com]

Surely your records have a space for outliers?

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

Not for shape.
It has been rare enough not to have been a problem before.

The ones that were odd shaped before were clearly half formed ones.
But, this is fully formed, fully coated and even has the little "m" on it that the normal ones have.
So, it is unique in that respect and not covered under any previous category.

The real question is should it get its own category or not.
Will it continue to be unique?

[tatjna.livejournal.com]

This is exciting! A new form of M&M!

If it were me, I'd make a category called 'mutants' and stick it in there. If I got another, I'd then give it a latin name and declare a new subspecies.

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

An excellent idea.

But, it will require a second sighting before I can declare a new subspecies...
