Little Tom William

From eBay:
""From the imagination of John Henry Toney comes "A Purple Stud Horse and Little Tom William". The horse is purple, orange and brown with what looks like blue stockings on his legs. Little Tom William is an imaginary character of John Henry's. He has his cap turned backwards and his britches hanging low on the hip. He is smoking a big cigarette with smoke curliing all around. As John Henry puts it, "fire on one end and a fool on the other.""

Gary McFarland

Not until I'd heard Wendy and Bonnie's "Genesis" LP had I heard anything arranged/produced and/or composed by and sometimes featuring the vibraphone of Gary McFarland.

He died a mysterious death in 1971, in a Manhattan bar, from a drink spiked with methadone.

waste reducing exfoliating body cleanser

bad idea=waste reducing exfoliating body cleanser by Green Natura

This body cleanser, or soap, was provided in the bathroom of The James hotel in Chicago, the place I stayed this past weekend. Each bar has a big oval hole in the middle, "designed to eliminate the unused center of traditional soap bars."

Why is this such a bad idea?

Instead of being left with a little chunk, the "unused center," you're left with a little ring. And this little ring is pretty much the same as a little chunk. From what I can tell, the little leftover ring of waste reducing exfoliating body cleanser is about equal in mass to the typical leftover chunk of your traditional soap.

On the back of the packaging they go on to remind us that "This soap is cruelty free and contains no animal fat or byproducts. This carton is made from natural recycled packaging printed with soy based inks."

Organic Gummybears

This being the week following Halloween, there's a lot of unopened candy in the grass and on the ground around my neighborhood, intentionally dropped or not. The organic gummybears I found the other day probably fall into the former category.

Two dimes and a twenty dollar bill

Today I went walking in the park. I went on the short forest walk. There I found a dime, then another, and then a twenty dollar bill. The serial on the bill begins with the letters "IF." Weird.
