I learnt last week............



there is a reason the dollar store sells oven cleaner for a dollar a can and King Sooper sells it for $6 a can...I messed around trying to clean an oven for 5 hours with the dollar stuff...and ended up getting the real Easy Off and doing the job in about 1/2 hour. This is one of several thing I have found is not a good deal at the dollar store...however the good out weighs the bad down there...and it is next to the ARC..so I will continue to shop the dollar store...selectively.

It's strange-basketball-player-story-Friday!

On Horseback with Nash:

On horseback a young Dirk Nowitzki races teammate Steve Nash down a thin strip of floury sand along the lapping shallows of some sub-tropical sea, the duo’s long hair flapping like matched manes in the wind.

Dirk is clumsy on horseback, Nash skillful. Waiting at the finish line, Nash joshes his friend:

“Howdy,” he says, doffing an invisible Stetson as Dirk’s steed lumbers over the snapped tape.

Dirk chuckles, executes an ungainly dismount. A breeze flutters their similar white riding shirts.

“Steve,” Dirk says later, the two of them sipping electric-blue drinks through complexly-looped pink straws, their horses happily gamboling a little ways down the beach. “What could be better than this, Steve? We’ve got the whole world, don’t we?”

Nash stares out at the giant red sun, dipping into the Pacific.

“Steve?”
