Maybe, it's the heat. Maybe it’s life.

I've had a lot of silly revelations lately.

Of course, I felt I should share my random thoughts, since you’re nice enough to read my blog.  Perhaps, you have similar odd-ball ideas to send my way.

My brain waves were working overtime as I drove past a construction site on 35W Sunday. I realized that the Port-a-Potties are situated very close to the road. I’m not sure I’d be comfortable going to the bathroom right next cars whizzing by (pun intended). I think construction workers should get a raise if they have to work a full day and use that bathroom.

Deep thought two: 2-percent milk only has 38-percent less fat than whole milk according to the container. I think they should rename it. I understand that two percent means the fat by weight in the milk. It just makes it sound as though the milk is 98-percent fat free, which it is not.  This is useful information for anyone planning to visit the all-you-can-drink milk booth at the State Fair (which I like to do after stopping to checkout the giant head carved from butter).

Addendum: I'm probably not gaining weight from milk. Any excess pudge likely has more to do with the entire bag of "snack size" candy that I polishe d off last week. Maybe, the snack-sized bars should be labeled with a percentage related to the portion of fat contrasted with the full-sized candy bar? That would make me feel better.

Lastly, related to my previous “injury” blog (which I'm sure  you all read),  I recently learned in an article that hydrogen peroxide isn’t what I should have put on my bug bite that swelled to epic proportions (and now has diminished and has been replaced by a grouping of new summer scrapes and bruises, on which I splashed more hydrogen peroxide).

Research from  a Journal of Family Practice study published in 1987 that said hydrogen peroxide did not inhibit bacterial growth. It can inflame the skin surrounding a cut or scrape and increase healing time. Good thing I doused all of my summer wounds in the stuff. Oh well.

Neosporin is back in business from now on.
