Ice cold sweet tea is a diet drink.

I did the math to prove it. 12 ounces of the sweet tea The Geek makes has fewer calories in it than 12 ounces of Coke C2 (which is billed as half the calories of regular coke). Exactly 10 fewer calories. Yes, it is sweet tea. He makes his sweeter than I make mine also. Why did I bother to do the calculations? You know why - to make it okay to drink sweet tea when the Doc said I need to lose a few pounds. So I gave up my C2 and switched to a drink with less calories. Logical, right?

Creating a post just so one gets done

After all if we don't put new stuff out here, who is gonna read it?

Today's subject is Nature's Art. While the girls were visiting I pulled a weed up that was growing underneath my deck. I didn't get what I expected. I mean, I expected roots, lots of roots. This is what I got:

Take a good look at that. Doesn't it look like a 'modern art' sculpture of someone laying on their side, one leg shoved forward, with their arm curled around their chest. That purplish-red bit at the top doesn't count. That one little rootlet curling 'round is the arm.

To get an idea of the size, it's longer than my forearm. What happened to all the rootlets that should be growing off of it?
