We procured some of the new Brown and Haley Cashew Roca. It only tastes slightly different from the original Almond Roca. Push come to shove, however, the original tastes better. They also have a new Mocha Roca flavor, which we haven't tried.

I also snagged a 2.5 oz (70g) package of Farley's & Sathers Pop Bottles (liquid filled wax). They weren't as fun as I seemed to remember from my childhood, but they were quite novel, nonetheless.

Spam filtering by reverse DNS is a stupid idea. The problem is that if you obtain an Internet connection (say a DSL line with a static IP address) from a large phone company, they've already got an assigned reverse DNS entry for that IP address. It won't match your mail server's name obviously, so right out of the bag, your emails are going to get bounced. Trying to get the default entry changed to match your mail server is like trying to pull teeth with fruit leather. Chances are that the phone company won't do it because it's against company policy, so they'll delegate it out to your hosting company (who handles your DNS), but they won't know how to do it, and they'll try to say that it's not their responsibility since they aren't the ones leasing you the phone line. Around and around and around we go, chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough!

Why is it that the Northwest Reno Walmart smells like sulfur in the south entrance area? It's disgusting, but it's happened so many times that we simply can't just dismiss it as someone having farted. There's something terribly amiss there, and it warrants further probing.

We attended the Toys for Tots Christmas concert at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center on Saturday night after having enjoyed Bonny's birthday party and eating all the gingerbread house candies earlier in the day.

Found the following three caches Saturday morning:
Smelly Dog
A Wonderful Bird is the Pelican
Farrier's Game

We enjoyed our ward's Christmas program at church on Sunday. I accompanied the ward choir on "A Christmas Medley" arranged by Larry R. Beebe, and remarkably didn't screw it up too bad, considering I was still a little unsure about parts of it during practice. Becky's going to be a Sunbeam in two weeks and will have graduated from nursery and finally get to attend Primary with me! =)

The same girl at church that reminds me of Christina Ricci also reminds me of Violet on "The Incredibles".

The lyrics in "When Joseph Went to Bethlehem" (Children's Songbook, pg. 38) are funny because there's a line in there about 'goat cheese', and that's all the kids seem to remember on that verse: mumble, mumble, mumble, goat cheese, mumble, mumble... =)
