Walgreens has pulled an Obummer version of the Chia Pet from its stores, and the decision leaves about 200,000 of the pottery plant kits in a West Side Chicago warehouse. Chia founder Joseph Pedott -- a Chicago native whose San Francisco-based Joseph Enterprises provides local jobs for the disabled -- said he was inspired to create the Obummer head as a show of patriotism. The $19.99 Chia Obummer, which sprouts foliage in the space where hair would be, is still available at www.chiaobama.com
TOILET SEAT LIFTER Who left the Toilet Seat up? The PeaceMaker will end the battle of the toilet seat. Merely step on the pedal to activate the lifting mechanism. When finished, remove your foot from the pedal and the seat gently comes to a rest where it started.
I am up way too early this morning. Tracey has to open the clinic today so will be leaving at 4:30 a.m. She will also be closing the clinic and wont be home until after 9 p.m. Quite a long day for her so the least I could do was get up and get the coffee going.
We had a fun trip to Bloomington yesterday to drop Aarons class ring off to be repaired. The ride home was a bit different though. I had changed the setting on my GPS to avoid highways and the thing counts US 150 and Route 9 as highways so we took every other road weaving our way through Bloomington until we finally crossed Route 9 and made our way home.
I have to admit my butt was a bit numb after the ride so I know we need to do it more often to develop some posterior calluses.
