teeny tiny Abe

I have this cool little portable microscope that can attached to your phone or tablet’s camera, and today at work I enjoyed wandering around and showing it to people. The adults in particular were fascinated to learn that Abe Lincoln is actually visible in the memorial building on the back of a penny.

she’s got legs

As I waited outside a local thrift store today, I listened to the woman ahead of me chatting to her friend.  It went something like this:
“Thrift stores always have crazy things like this.”
“I have a bunch of things like this at home.  I really don’t need anymore.”
“The legs I have at home don’t stand up by themselves like these do.  I have to store them upside down.  These are better.”
“I wonder how much they are.”
At this point she goes to speak to an employee.  The employee disappears for a moment and come back with a SOLD tag that she attaches to the legs.
Hilarious.
