I know I had several things to mention. At the moment, I can only remember two. We'll see what happens by the end.

Eating dinner last night, I managed to figure out exactly why the combination of a well balanced fork and plates is important. For whatever reason, the fork tended to be heavy, and balanced towards the handle. Not normally a problem, however the plate formed a bad combination. It had a sharp edge, more of a modern look, and I kept balancing the fork on it between bites, at which point the fork would flip back onto the table, and almost into my lap. I will take some fault for doing this about 3 times, but clearly I had previously understimated the interaction between fork and plate. Fortunately I never launched any food in the process, but it was a bit disconcerting to have my fork flying when I didn't even touch it, it was all gravity's fault.

The second item, is only at Sam's Club could they decide that the newly popular small watermelons are best sold in bags of 2. Of course they must realize the whole point of a small watermelon is to avoid having to get a large one and deal with it. I guess they just figure bulk is good for everyone. Or maybe you have lots of picnics with 4 people. So you would buy 2 and use one on saturday and one sunday. Must make sense to someone.

Umm, its the time to think of the third thing, and I can't remember it, so I give up. I'll try and think of it later and post it quicker so I don't forget.
