Macy's has a granny-pants sale!

I guess they decided to clear out all XXXXXXL undies...

Merry Christmas!!

So, the planes mentioned in my previous post flew over our house the next day (15 Nov). I think they were flying over the Air Force Academy. One was a copper plane with tiger stripes and the others were blue with tiger stripes. Very neat!

Oh... and Merry Christmas to everyone!

Silly construction workers...

I can't imagine these guys DIDN'T know what they were doing. They were installing a sign for some company called "Compass". They decided to wait to install the "p" until after their lunch break. Unfortunately, while watching this, I missed getting a picture of the two F-14s that flew over. They were painted with tiger stripes. One was copper and the other was blue... VERY COOL.

Okay... I've REALLY got nothing...

So, I ran into these at the Peterson Commissary. I did a double take trying to determine what these things were... according to the package, they are "Scented Beans". I guess the people who designed the packaging intended for them to be sold in a different kind of store, perhaps.

A different kind of urgent care...

So, I saw this while I was driving down Academy Blvd in Colorado Springs and saw this sign. It's a little tough to read, but says, "Complete Pizza and Beer Care Provided. Walk-ins Welcome"

Fog coming down the mountains

This was the view of the mountains from the office. The fog had rolled in and covered the mountains completely, then slowly burned off. About 10 minutes later, the sky was blue and everything was clear. Reminds me of San Francisco.

Mmmm.... Tossed Salad

How do you prefer your salad? Tossed? This was an eatery at the Prudential Center mall in Boston...

Things that are new: Candy Corn Hershey's Kisses

To round out our trio of "new" things that really don't sound good today, we have Candy Corn Hershey's Kisses. I was expecting white chocolate with a candy corn flavor. Instead, I got something that looked like a candy corn, tasted a little like candy corn, but wasn't the same material. I guess if you like candy corn, this one is for you. Otherwise, it's a novelty and about as good as the candy corn Jone's soda. 3 out of 10 in my book... others rated it higher since they love candy corn.

Things that are new: Pumpkin Spice Hershey's Kisses

Another item that doesn't sound so good. For these, I think the bottom line is, if you like pumpkin pie, you MIGHT like these. They aren't great, but are far better than the Skittles. I give them a 6 out of 10 since they are original and slightly tasty.

Things that are new: Chocolate Mix Skittles

Found these at a KMart. The idea really just sounds bad. After tasting the "S'mores" and "Brownie Batter", I think my instincts were right on... 1 out of 10 on the goodness scale. Vanilla tastes like something besides the title. Chocolate caramel sorta tastes like it sounds. One thing is for sure, I wouldn't want to eat these in a dark theater... the flavors don't go well together and are not good. Save your money and avoid this one!
