WLBOTT <\/strong>is a rich and varied lifestyle, not easily categorized. Today we present you with a collection of randomness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We made our next-to-last (i.e. penultimate[1]<\/sup>) delivery of business cards yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Texas Special Legislative Session<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because of our business card delivery, Greg Abbott<\/strong> called a special session of the Texas Legislature to ban distribution of WLBOTT <\/strong>business cards on any publicly owned golf courses. In the same bill, climate change is banned (not references to climate change, but the climate itself).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through .vs. Thru<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The spelling of “through” bugs me to no end. Think of the reduction in greenhouse gases if we dropped the “o…gh”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pumpkin .vs. Sweet Potato Empanadas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is a very subtle, but distinct difference between the HEB<\/strong> sweet potato empanada and the HEB <\/strong>pumpkin empanada. Both are delicious, and can be eaten fresh, frozen, canned, pickled or deep fried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We invite you to go on your own culinary quest and report back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This topic of empanada filing is not without controversy. Passions run high on both sides of the pumpkin\/sweet potato curtain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s Ear Worm: Apeman<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
....
I don't feel safe in this world no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman
....
'Cause the only time that I feel at ease
Is swinging up and down in the coconut trees
Oh what a life of luxury to be like an apeman
....
Oh come on and love me, be my apeman girl
And we'll be so happy in my apeman world
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm an apeman
I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane
I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane
We'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day, just like an apeman<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
