Let's see. Blockbuster is Gone With The Wind - you can't rent that movie anymore. But maybe you have it on VHS or DVD and you want to let someone else have it because your basement is full of old tapes and discs, and you stream what you want now. Brian Morrison also noticed that newspaper boxes were sitting unused as well, and he started FreeBlockbuster.org, which repurposes old newspaper boxes like those Little Free Libraries some streets have. Take a tape, leave a tape, go home with a copy of "Dirty Work" and rediscover the magic of Norm MacDonald.

"And all the children, they put flowers in their hair. And all the grown ups, they put daggers in their stare ..."  (T. Rex)  Someone has been kind enough to put flowers in the hand of Rosa Parks's statue. A woman of virtue and strength.

Two-tone tulips! Red and yellow, at the Keukenhof Botanical Garden in the Netherlands.

Someone had the idea to make Oreo-flavored Coke, while all along, Oreos go best with milk. I shouldn't have said that. Look for Oreo Milk on your grocer's dairy shelves soon.

Trucks and cars can't get through in Western North Carolina to bring needed supplies. Count on that delightful stubborn tenacious hybrid of horses and donkeys - mules - to get that delivery done!
