This is second time I have caught one of these little guys on the ground. The first one was in Olympia, this one in Newberg, Oregon. There will be another photo I'll post in the future coming from a Tumwater location. What is there about these discarded portable floss gizmos that I find so disturbing?

Thank You Bryan!

My brother Bryan finished a project today, completing a hallway shelf for my collection of VHS videos and DVD movies. He did a beautiful job and it is the first time I'm able to access the whole library in one place. This is a big deal.

I reviewed many of these on OlyBlog in my Cheaper by the Dozen series.

Our Father, may he rest in peace, was a jack of all trades including being a decent carpenter. I think Bryan inherited the carpenter gene as well as the how things work gene.

Anyway, here's a big public Thank You to my brother, Bryan, for making a big difference here at Casa Morty in McCleary.
