Coffee Cups 1433 and 1434
Home sick. Nursing flu-like symptoms. Runny nose sniffles. A winter flu. Thank the feed for the Kimberly-Clark corporation, makers of Kleenex brand facial tissues. Kimberly-Clark provides the world with useful products like Kotex, Depends, and Cottonelle. Our friends in the U.K. can count on Andrex and DryNights products. While the Aussies use WonderSoft and Thick & Thirsty brands. Says something about OZ, huh? 1433.

Coffee Cup 1432

Coffee Cup 1429
A year ago today, I awoke to a morning temperature of 28F degrees. This morning, I am reading up on the International Organization for Standardization’s 216 standards. As I am an American, I find this stuff fascinating yet not so much useful in my professional life. 1429.
