Kind of like: “you park on a driveway, but drive on a parkway”.
- Tazo tea bags – a very earthy crunchy brand – use tiny stapes to affix the paper tag to the bag, making it much more difficult to compost them. Most Twinings teas – another premium but very corporate brand – use nifty little string ties, meaning the whole bag & tie is compostable.
- The automatic sprinklers at a local business were on in the rain this morning. Not necessary; there was plenty of rain overnight.
- When I asked for slices of toast at a great local bakery/cafe this morning, the hostess mis-heard me and thought I wanted a whole loaf, sliced. Instead of complaining, I decided to make toast (they have a toaster for customer use). Yum, whole wheat sourdough.
- Arrow Street in Cambridge is one way, the wrong way (i.e., towards Bow Street – which it crosses, of course).
- Yesterday, while writing my blog post about Starbucks Via(tm), I was actually drinking tea. Tazo Awake, actually; I had to cut the tags with the staples off before tossing in the compost.
You know, “Time flies like an arrow; Fruit flies like a banana.”
