susandennisI like Costco bakery stuff - usually. But, yesterday I got bagels. They were a 2fer special. I got a half dozen plain and a half dozen parmesan cheese. I toasted one of the cheese ones for dinner last night and I had one of the plain ones with coffee this morning.
I do not remember EVER having bagels that bad - that dry, in my life - including ones that were once good and got stale. Even the stale ones were better than these Costco things. I have half a mind to return them except I tossed the receipt and it's not worth the effort. But, note to self - even if they are giving them away for free, pass!

The Blue Angels tied traffic into a knot about the time I needed to leave for errands and pool and I was quite proud of my circuitous route to both Office Depot (drop off UPS package) and the pool. Missed the mania. (For the record, I think those damn things are a testosterone laden giant waste of taxpayer money and they are way too fucking loud but I got tired of getting on my high horse every year so I now my game is to just count the days until they are gone for the year. 3.)
Office Depot had a huge sign outside and a giant display inside looking for workers. Interesting. They are even having a hiring fair next week. Part time positions included. Kind of a little bit tempting. I noticed last night there was a commercial for school supplies and the point was you can get cool stuff at either Office Max or Office Depot. I thought they were going to consolidate under the Office Depot name but I guess not - at least not right away.

Laundry is laundrying and I'm munching lunch as I type. The game is at 4 and all is good.

Date: 2014-07-31 09:48 pm (UTC)Blue Angels are an elite (read expensive) team of military from the U.S. Navy/Marines who's ONLY job is to go around the country and fly really expensive and really loud planes. They fly in formation. It's supposed to make us feel warm and fuzzy about our military. Obviously, it's not working on me :)

The Red Arrows are pretty popular here (and I love them). On the Wikipedia pictures alone, the blue ones do look a lot more butch and macho... but the red ones are still pretty loud, so perhaps you'd dislike them too. At least they don't cost the tax payer money here though (they fund themselves by charging for displays)!
