  • I only care if I can hear and I consider myself fairly normal. In the car, 9 is usually where I can hear my podcasts over the road noise. 8 and I miss words. 10, and it eventually gets unpleasant. On the TV, I don’t know: I run all the audio through a tuner and it’s hard to see the numbers from the couch. Besides, I think it measures in dB, which I don’t understand. For most shows, I think it’s somewhere in the -30s.



  • We get eye drops by mail from a local specialty vet pharmacy. For our first few deliveries, the mailer contained one plastic bag with a prescription bottle and a second baggie with two green mints. Or rather, I assume they were mints. They were green like mints, but the bag wasn’t labeled. I don’t think they were individually wrapped, but I don’t exactly remember. I’m sure they were thank you mints, but I also couldn’t quite bring myself to eat an unlabeled item from a lab. They don’t do it anymore, and that makes me kind of sad.








  • Also, I liked the part where it asks you consider whether you’d borrowed the range. Who does that?

    “Hey, neighbor, do you have a gas range, I could borrow?”

    “Sure, Bud, it’s there in the garage. Just put it back when you’re done.”

    “Thanks a load! Say, it’s burning green. Did you put copper in the burners?”

    “Yes, I did. Just for you! Breath deeply.”
