I haven’t the slightest idea what a pattern lock is. Perhaps it’s something I know by another name.

I won't need any myself for a few more days, but I wanted to keep my loyal readership informed.*The rotating sales of the Coca-Cola family of products and the Green Mountain family of coffee products are in my favor this week, so time to stock up. The Coke stuff is 4 six-packs of the 16.9-oz bottles for $10, which is as good as those get. That's 42 cents per Coke (not including bottle deposit etc.). I neglected to check the 12-packs of cans because I was just out for bottles today, but I'll do so when I'm back there. I know those used to be absolutely dirt cheap.Am at Costco now. Gas was $2.38 a gallon.

The other item is a one-sheet poster for Von Sternberg's Morocco. Well, not exactly - if I HAD that one-sheet it would go for over 100K. I commissioned Igor Edelman to paint it - he was the premiere poster restorer, and he duplicated the one-sheet brilliantly. That should be here in another couple of weeks - it's in a frame so it's more packaging to deal with.
When I got home I had an e-mail that was very exciting to get - potential VERY good news for the end of the year, should everything go according to Hoyle and we really need Hoyle to be right.
This potential good news has been in potential mode for about a year now. A year ago it took a major step forward and today it took another major step forward. One more major step will lead to the potential becoming a reality.
We had some math accidents during the cookie dough construction. That led to doubling or tripling some of the recipes.

I just filled up on Sunday at Fred Meyer (it was after Costco gas had closed), and with my 15¢ rewards card discount, I paid $4.04⁹ per gallon (instead of the regular price of $4.19⁹)!
SEVEN!
