Upon reading this -- new kinda respect.

BOILED PEANUTS

Another stellar line-up collection today!

Beginning with:

NO MORE FUN-PUNS ON HIGHWAY SIGNS

Big fat boo on the no fun people who get to be the deciders of taking these clever, humorous reading pieces of fun away from us to read as we drive the endless miles to our destination(s).

BOOMERS!  REMEMBER?

I totally remember banana seats + tiny Bayer aspirin tins + 45 records my sisters and I cut around and off the back of cereal boxes --- and they really played!  It was super cool.
Soooo -- miss the full service gas stations!  For those of us who have the memory - recall when -- rolling into a gas station,  hear the ding-ding of your car driving over a hose or something and the attendant came out, all cheer and smiles, puts the gas nozzle in the car's gas tank - cleaned the windshield, checked your oil, and even checked the air in your tires?  Gosh!  I sure do miss that wonderfulness.  Why did that have to go away?

WINE CORK BRILLIANCE

I love all of these ideas.  I think my favorite is using these recycled corks to "clip" a bag closed of potato chips or other packages that need to be closed up properly.

CLASSIC WINE AND PAIRING

Yes!  However, I'm certain that I want to explore all the pairings.  Not just my "sign" - ha
