Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.
In preparation for our poker night over the weekend, we made a trip to Big Lots in hopes of more poker chips. We came up empty but back in the toy section (where we thought we might find the chips) we came upon some puzzles. We have only done small puzzles with the kids (100 pieces or fewer) but we took a chance on a 1,000 piece puzzle. It was only $3 so no big deal if we didn't like it. Also in our cart in the checkout were some freezy pops, some Black Cherry New York Seltzer (see below pic) and some organic Raman noodles (please, no comments). The soda was quite horrible and after a few sips we knew we had made a bad purchase.
Fast forward to tonight when I get home from work. The puzzle is out and the edges are complete and the wife is engrossed in putting together some of the middle section. The kids had long since given up and decided is was not going to be fun to do a puzzle with > 100 pieces. I counted the number of pieces the puzzle had on its bottom/top (37) and sides (27). Doing the math (27 x 37 = 999) you will see that we did NOT get a 1,000 piece puzzle at all. In the past I could muster up a paragraph here about how this irritated me but I have a DVD and some ice cream waiting for me (along with the wife) so I will say so long for now. I would like to say once again how really bad the soda was though (yuck!). Until next time...
Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
Jon
