Every now and then, I'll pass by something or see something that deserves a photo so I can remember it, and now share it with you. And so I shall begin-
Ever go to the bathroom and need a little privacy? Well I thought these were some interesting stalls that offer SOME privacy, but not a whole lot. Notice they're also missing toilet paper. I should point out that these are located in a local high school that I help out at every now and then (school was NOT in session at time of photograph).

First you might notice is I'm driving while taking this picture... I know, not the safest (but don't worry, I don't do this regularly). The next thing you might notice is the truck with some boxes on the back secured with... duct tape! They really did a great job. Copious amounts of duct tape will hold any amount of boxes at high speeds.

Going to school in the Midwest, I came to know Jimmy John's. They're popping up in Houston, which is awesome! After a recent visit, I had to take a picture of their sign. I know it's a bit blurry, but hopefully you can make out what it says. My favorite is, "Don't ask kids to pull your finger"... and "Don't taunt vegetarians"

Oh Texas! I'm not sure where else in the country you would something like this.

This is a little bit of tooting my own horn. I decided to give Vihart's technique on "snakes" a try.
A while back, Kate sent me a link to this thermostat she thought was really cool. I decided to check out the website and also thought this little "nest" was REALLY COOL! It's pretty modern, so instead of having to program your thermostat (which apparently 90% of people who own one, don't do), this figures out your schedule for you. It basically creates a custom schedule based on what it "learns" you like. It also knows when there's inactivity in the house (motion sensor), and what the temperature is like outside (internet). Oh, and you can control it with your smartphone when you're away. Cool right? I picked it up as a gift to my parents. They're still in their first week, but hopefully it'll do cool things!

This last picture is something that really annoyed me (and other people too, apparently). It boggled my mind that this happened. It was partly my fault for not bringing my own bags. So I got 4 items (I don't remember what they were though), and figured they could all fit in 1 bag. I remember one of the items being heavy, so as the bagger person was putting them in a bag, she ripped it. So she double bagged it. Then decided to keep the other items separate and gave me a third bag.
Did you keep count? That's 3 plastic bags for 4 items? I was mostly annoyed, but slightly impressed too.
