It Takes a Licking .....

..... and keeps on ticking.

These lines are from 1950s-60s TV commercials for Timex watches.  Perhaps it also applies to my Fitbit Zip.  I usually carry my Fitbit in my shorts/pants pocket.  Sunday I discovered I had forgotten to remove it before sending the garment through the washing machine.  This was particularly annoying because just the day before I had mentally cautioned myself to remember to remove the Fitbit to avoid such a fiasco.

My Fitbit has seemingly survived my blunder.  I should try harder to value my mental cautions.

Over $5.00

As they say, there is a first time for everything.

Yesterday was the first time I have ever seen gas priced above $5.00.

Not what one hopes to witness.
