Don't Mess with The System

So today I got into a lot of trouble and thought it prudent to warn anyone who might visit about the dangers lurking beneath the surface in our house.

Take a look at the picture below, looks fairly innocent doesn't it.

DANGER - DANGER - DANGER

See those teeth? Pretty large huh! Just ready to sink into the fool who might rouse her into a terrible fury by the heinous sin of 'taking the wrong shade of brown towel'. Well I learned my lesson I can tell you, so if you ever visit the system is:
eye level - spare towels for the beach or swimming
next shelf down - on the left, guest towels, on the right our towels (but on the right in front of the light brown towel is a guest beige towel - personally I would class that as entrapment.
A message from Andy at this point, she claims that Karen would understand, Karen if you are reading this then I hope for your sake that's not true.

Onto more serrious matters - drive thru (note the spelling) banking.
So our bank now has drive through cash machines, which is great I guess for when it gets really cold, but there is one thing about this that is a bit worrying. You pull up to the cash machine in your car, wind down the window, insert your card and then enter your pin, all normal you might think - but the keypad has braille on it - on a drive-through cash machine. So you might want to be careful on the roads here.

Nice People We Know
I got back from a couple of days in San Francisco where I was checking out some company's technology. I went with Debbie from work who is the reason for the expression 'Minnesota nice' - but she is good fun to be with too and we got given a limo and a driver for the 2 evenings we were there so we drove around town a bit - see below. Her and Andy went to the local cheese specialty shop a while back but I have to be nice to her about it as she always puts in a good word for me when I annoy people at BestBuy; which is most of the time.

So her and her husband Rob have threatened to teach us to ski (Rob is a slalom skier) which means if I end up writing a blog from hospital you'll know who to blame.
