How Many Boxes? Well, let me just tell you.

Obviously, the outside one is 1 box 1

Boxes 6, 7, 10 and 11 = one box 1

Boxes 1 thru 16 = 16 boxes 16

Boxes 1, 2, 5 and 6 = one box 1

Boxes 3, 4, 7 and 8 = one box 1

Boxes 9, 10, 13 and 14 = one box 1

Boxes 11, 12, 15 and 16 = one box 1

Boxes 2, 3, 6 and 7 = one box 1

Boxes 10, 11, 14 and 15 = one box 1

Boxes 5, 6, 9 and 10 = one box 1

Boxes 7, 8, 11 and 12 = one box 1

Boxes 1,2,3,5,6,7,9,10,11 = one box 1

Boxes 2,3,4,6,7,8,10,11,12 = one box 1

Boxes 5,6,7,9,10, 11,13,14,15 = one box 1

Boxes 6,7,8 10,11,12,14,15,16 = one box 1

Boxes 17 thru 20 = four boxes 4

Boxes 21 thru 24 = four boxes 4

Boxes 17, 18, 19 and 20 = one box 1

Boxes 21, 22, 23 and 24 = one box 1

Now total all the numbers on the right. Should total 40!

This chilled me to the bone! Must read!

A Bit Late, but Damn, it's Early in the Morning

This guy moved from southern California to Idaho, and near as I can tell, he's in Idaho Falls, or real close to it.  He takes it a bit too far in ridiculing Idaho, but some of it is sooo true. 

It's a big day here in San Francisco because of the game.  The game to determine THE GAME.  First, baseball and the World Series in 2010,  now football and the Super Bowl.  Someone at the dog park told me the entire city shut down after the Giants won the World Series.  From the looks of it, everyone is inside, getting ready for the game at 3:30pm.

UPDATED:  Obviously, I didn't post this after I wrote it - as we all now know, SF isn't going to the Super Bowl.

And since, I'm about 9 days later, and not even in the city right now, I feel silly writing anything more on this post.

But I did want to share the link above of the guy's blog in Idaho.

A Cure for Itchy Mosquito Bites

I don't know if these pictures are good enough to portray the hell of monster mosquito bites adequately.  The red spots you see in the mirror behind me show some of the bites I have on my back.  In the smaller picture, you can see some bites in front, in the lower left corner.

Fun times.  I got them during a field trip to Alamo Square, where the famous Painted Sisters live.  We were there to look at the park's 12 to 20 foot wide foot paths.  The foot path proposed for to renovation in Dolores Park is 12 feet wide, and people are coming unglued at the thought of it ruining the "green expanses" of green grass. 

I am not normally prone to showing my skin on the World Wide Web, but I need to pass on a miracle cure for itchy mosquito bites.  Those bites were so red and swollen, that the bites were all one horrible, huge large pancake sized welt.  Of itchy-ness.  MS sometimes tells me things that aren't true, like there's an itch in my ear that feels like my hair is poking me, tickle/itching inside my ear.  I look in the mirror to make sure it's not a hair - and it's not.  MS is fcuking with me again.  So I figured that the itch on my back was the same thing, so I scratched and scratched with a back scratcher, not realizing at the time they were mosquito bites. 

And of course, MS over-reacted.  This was no ordinary itch.  After about the 10th day of it getting worse, larger, and redder, I started to get worried.  Perhaps it was infected?  Or it was a spider bite?  Or bedbugs even?!  I looked up itching in Google.  I found a site dedicated to itching solutions.  One of them was to blow hot air from a hair dryer on the bite/s, to the point of burning the skin for a couple of seconds.  I decided to try it, preferring pain over itching. 

It worked!  It went from a welt of about 8 X 8 inches diameter to what you see in the pictures.  And it never itched again. 

I love the Internet.
