These glasses worked for the 2000’s, 1990’s and 1980’s, but I wonder if the 1970’s had these glasses?
How will Times Square cope without these glasses in 2010? Even if both zeros are used, it would look kinda weird, and what about 2011? I got nothing.
Just a random thought.

ANKENY, Iowa (AP) — Slush has never smelled so spicy.
City crews in the Des Moines suburb of Ankeny are using garlic salt to melt snow and ice on streets from Tuesday’s storm.
The salt was donated by Tone Brothers Inc., a top spice producer headquartered in Ankeny.
Public Works Administrator Al Olson says the company donated 18,000 pounds of garlic salt to use on its 400 miles of roads.
Olson doesn’t have details, but he says the salt would have ended up in the landfill, so the company donated it. A telephone call Wednesday to Tone Brothers wasn’t immediately returned.
Olson says the city mixed the garlic salt with regular road salt and it works fine. He says some road workers say it makes them hungry, but Olson doesn’t recommend it to spice up lunch or dinner.

Cooper is a 3 year old American Shorthair cat living in Seattle. Once a week he wears a lightweight digital camera fastened to his collar, which snaps a new photo every 2 minutes.

A Nutley, N.J. man is putting in his two cents about what he calls a lot of non-cents over a traffic ticket.
He has been trying to pay his fine in pennies, but the town is demanding he change his way of paying.
“It’s very easy to count. It goes in 10s. I mean, there’s five rows of 10s,” Frank Gilberti said.
Gilberti showed 112 rolls of pennies to CBS station WCBS-TV in New York City. He said he thought he could use the coins to pay a traffic fine at the Bloomfield Municipal Court.
“I went to the bank and got $56 worth of rolled pennies and went down to the court house and they refused to take it. They had told me to bring cash. I was under the assumption this was cash.”
Non-cents? Not really. Pennies are legal tender. In fact, at the courthouse WCBS-TV found a sign saying cash is accepted.
That’s why the Nutley resident said he fought back, calling the court and convincing workers there to take his pennies.
But the 22-year-old said there was a condition — that he write his driver’s license number on each roll.

When Anna Sam entered the supermarket world as a part-time checkout clerk, she was 20 years old and still in college, intending to work for a short while to help finance her studies.
But graduation came and went, and no other jobs were available. So she stayed on. And on. Eight years went by, “beep, beep” at the cash register day after day. Anna Sam, student of modern literature, had become a checkout lady. Her professional universe had been reduced to a supermarket behind the soccer stadium in this Brittany city 200 miles west of Paris.
Then in June came the book “Tribulations of a Cashier,” which catapulted Sam from obscurity at the checkout line to fame as a best-selling author. The book, a lighthearted account of what it is like to ring up sales all day long for customers who hardly acknowledge your presence, became a summertime sensation, selling about 100,000 copies.

The next time you ask someone what they want for Christmas and their reply is, “Oh, nothing.” Then you can consider getting them this:
What better present for the person who has everything than a poignant reminder that they want for nothing? This lovingly crafted vial of emptiness is filled to the brim with unfettered nothingness. Free from the burden of possessions, the weight of responsibility, Nothing is as idiotic as it is brilliant.

It’s a very sad blog:
There are some things that we own that are just so sad. You know what we mean. Sad. It seems likely that these sad things illuminate our vulnerable places, one way or another.
The Saddest Thing I Own invites people everywhere to share the saddest thing they own. What are these sad things? What makes things sad? Do things start off sad? Do some sad things begin as happy things that then become sad? Are some things only sad because for some sad reason we kept them? Are some things just plain sad no matter what? This is what we want to know.
For some reason the first thing that came to my mind after seeing this blog was Droopy.
