My Unfavorite Things: #1 Disappearing Ink


Ever wonder why those old purchase receipts become unusable? Most cash registers now use disappearing ink. People like me who leave receipts in a hot car often find that I lose the ability to return goods because the sale register information has vanished from my paper receipts.

Well, I guess it will be good for the economy if I do not keep returning what I buy.

Oh to learn how it is to be a good consumer-- Just buy what you need, not buy on impulse.

Second Fork: Resistant Grays

Charles Dickens wrote in Barnaby Rudge: "Father Time is not always a hard parent, and, though he tarries for none of his children, often lays his hand lightly upon those who have used him well; making them old men and women inexorably enough, but leaving their hearts and spirits young and in full vigour. With such people the grey head is but the impression of the old fellow's hand in giving them his blessing, and every wrinkle but a notch in the quiet calendar of a well-spent life."

New hobby: Plucking gray hair at a stop light. Why the superficial preoccupation... when what matters is continuing wisdom? Check out:
