Lower forms of life, no doubt, hence the nature of their native tongue.

I made an important breakthrough discovery in the supermarket last week, finally discovering how to open those pesky plastic bags in the Produce department. My long struggle with them ended when I, by some Divine inspiration, first moistened my thumb and index finger, which somehow helped to separate the stuck-together plastic immediately when I rubbed it. I've now turned into Pavlov's dog, salivating upon entering the Produce area. I now leave the store a much happier fella and with more healthy fruits and vegetables. It's the little things ...

A bigger thing is that I may have finally found a pop-up blocker that works. I googled "popup ads" and one of the first items was STOPzilla, which gave itself high praise for preventing all manner of computer demons, including popups. So I installed the 15-day free trial of STOPzilla on Saturday and haven't had a single popup since. I haven't checked to see what the purchase price is, but I'll most certainly pay it -- popups were about to drive me away from the internet.

I hope Flatfoot gave him his briefs back...
