Tidbits from the Newspaper

The local paper's editors are so smart. Look at these nuggets:

Don't exercise too much too soon.
Don't worry. I am already fulfilling this advice.

Dine out for Father's Day.
HA! Like you had to tell me.

A few other bits I found interesting:

Though the high today will be 90, it will feel like 97. This perceived difference is called the heat index; it's the Floridian equivalent of what you up north call the wind chill factor. The Almanac tells me that today, the sun will damage my skin after I am outside for ten minutes. I will combat this effect with my number 50 SPF.

Someone's selling a size ten wedding gown. It's beautiful, she says, and never worn.

I see ads like that all the time--huge diamond rings going for a fraction of their value, "divorce" garage sales, infant car seats for sale. These items represent huge events or the passage of time in the lives of people I don't know. I linger on these ads, wondering about the stories behind them. It's weird being privy to what you think might have happened, yet quite intriguing.

Hmm. Time to get the notebook out.
