In other news, this morning's Oregonian has an article about debris from the March 2011 Japanese tsunami reaching our shores--next year!!

There has already been some things washing up on Vancouver Island and the Washington coast. Some of the larger pieces probably won't arrive until 2014.

Granted I have never tasted a Costco cheesecake I find the thought of purchasing one from them unappealing, plus DR Jennifer likes to bake.

I do have a Costco only 5 minutes away. And i do have a membership. And i have actually tasted their cakes before. They do actually make some different stuff. And it is very reasonably priced.

But DR Jane is right. I would not bring something that is bought. I want to make it. Anyhow i'm going to try a peanut butter/cream cheese pie. It has chocolate drizzled on the top. And oreo cookie crumbs as the base (i like all those things i named). It also has some dessert topping mixed in (i guess to give it some height). Hopefully it will be good.

Does this mean the person who is bringing the potato chips has to make them at home rather than buying them from a store?

Page four? Barely page four? This is more than a little nauseating.

I'd read about that, too. I saw a report on TV (or maybe on-line) that said that people should be respectful of the debris, that there will probably be a lot of personal items...AND there was concern about bodies making the journey.

I have finished entering fixes, doing additions and deletions - it all kind of evened itself out so I didn't really add more than a page overall. I may still add one little postscript to one little section, but I'll do that quickly. I'm just waiting for muse Margaret to call back so I can read her the five or six new paragraphs. Once she's okay with those, off it will go to the proofers, hopefully this very evening.

There is great techno-stress in our household. The only device that can pick up a wireless connection from our AirPort is my MacBook - neither iPhone nor Richard's MacBook nor iPad will connect. So we made a Genius Bar appointment, packed up all the hardware, and drove to the Apple Store. Of course, everything worked perfectly there and all the devices can pick up other wireless networks. But, back here at home, only my laptop. Next step is to call AppleCare and Richard has decided to forget it for tonight.

Ginny, we had the same issue here (PC, not Mac). Simply rebooting the router fixed it. Just unplug your router for 30 seconds and then plug it back in and you may have a solution.

I have to wait to read it

I'm currently reading a book & just downloaded another book from the library. I expect two more books from the library to be available soon, but then I have been saying that for weeks & the first of the books finally came in today.

My brother has a microwave potato chop maker. It only makes a few at a time though, so I thought it was easier to just buy a bag

I don't know. The Amazon listing doesn't say anything about it being a limited-time offer, but there have been a couple of other titles that I'd seen at one point for free and later they had a cost.
