I’ve been thinking a lot about loss lately. Maybe it’s because fall is turning to winter; maybe it’s because I’m getting older; but most likely it’s because my favorite toaster just shuffled off it’s electric coil.
Really.
You have to understand that this was no ordinary toaster. This was an extra-ordinary toaster, a gifted-and-talented toaster, a toaster to be reckoned with. If it had been a pop star it would have been Elvis Presley; the King of Toasters.
This particular toaster’s amazing talent was the ability to make toast and poach an egg. Let’s see your ordinary, store-brand Chrome-and-Bakelite model pull off that little trick. With just a couple of ounces of water and a whipped egg, my brave little toaster could turn out an egg-and-muffin sandwich the equal of any you’d find at the most upscale fast food joint.

Good ol’ cars. Have to love the ride they put us all through – and not just geographically. After an increasingly frustrating attempt to get my car to communicate with me, she finally agreed to do a guest post on my blog. http://chas.willowrise.com/?p=1155
As you know, cars have their own view of things.
Anyway, great show, I love listening to the podcasts!
