Killin' Time

Well, it’s about 30 minutes to kickoff of the first of two NFL division champion ship games.  First is Rams/Saints in the Super Dome, then Pats/Chiefs in KC.  FOJTY scored some tickets to that one, so with arctic gear and oxygen they’ll be watching.  Be quite an experience for him.   Apparently whole town is nuts over the Chiefs and the young phenom Patrick Mahomes and interesting he’s up against the GOAT (according to some) Tom Brady.  One end of the spectrum to the other. 

So what does the Feeder do to kill time (which is now clicking away)?  He counts JELLY BEANS!  (or a Brach now calls them “Classic Jelly Bird Eggs”).   Sorry, they’re BEANs!  As you may remember, he is conducting a highly technical study of the contents of every bag o’beans.   A gift bag last week brings my totals to 869 study beans in the six bags “tested” (i.e., eaten).   Each bag contains 9.25 ounces of the little sugar bombs.  I have been looking for some order or commonality to the contents.  Guess what?  Nothing has stood out or emerged so far.   The only consistency is that there are eight colors in every bag: Orange, Green, Yellow, Pink, White, Blue/Purple; Black; and Red.  Their distribution in each bag appears to be random.   As an example Red had 12, 20, 16, 12, 5, and 7% of the beans counted, which resulted in 12.4% of the total.  It may be that things are evening out, with O(range) @ 13.6%; G @ 10.4%; Y @ 12.5%; P @ 10.2%; W @ 11.4%; B @ 10.7%; B @ 18.8%; R @ 12.4%.  And I repeat: am I an engineer because I’m this way or I’m this way because I’m an engineer?

But my objective has been accomplished.  The game is about to kickoff!

I might make mention that we joined a little group at Elements (Eatery and Mixology) Friday night for dinner.  The food at the hands of Chef Bobby Metcalf was outstanding, especially my Halibut with sun dried tomatoes, capers and green veggies.  The house was pretty full, so you should go one of these days.  

and for God's sake
