I was at a national discount superstore recently, and noticed this sign in the bathroom:

I love the idea that proposed: if this bathroom’s not as clean as the one in your home, then there’s a problem.  The only thing wrong with the sign: neither the store manager, nor the district manager, give their contact information.

At least, that’s what their slogan says.
But why, after I eat one, am I still left feeling hungry?

I love the “Save Draft” button that I have access to for my blog. Often, in fact, for 99% of my blogs I’ll write a first draft, then save it. I’ll come back to it later on that day, or the next. Maybe even a week later.
