Expensive Light Bulbs (MM #2148)

I just bought some very expensive light bulbs, on purpose. I’m upgrading many of my lights using those new wireless light bulbs and they’re amazing. These new bulbs are my first stab at connecting my home and turning it into a smart home.

Where You Are From (MM #2140)

I’m not trying to create some sort of political discourse, but I ask the question; does it matter where you are from? Genealogy is important to some, but how much does it really matter? Does finding out your heritage make you a different person?

Dusting Or Trace (MM #2139)

Last night the TV weather people said that we are going to get a dusting or a trace of snow today. Is there a difference between a trace and a dusting? Even if there is a difference, would you know? I think that they’re just trying to induce panic…
