Duvet Covers!

My wife has put duvet covers on all the beds.

What a “stupid get” as John Lennon would say. I think the Pennsylvania Dutch have a much better Idea.  always practical, smart ,home made and so much simpler.They make quilts and you can wash them. Without taking the cover off. In my humble opinion Duvets are not simpler or softer or better just more expensive , Difficult to put on , .some history accounts say the duvet was a Chinese invention dating back 5000 years. Originally made from elder duck feathers and so warm and soft.Thats a lot of hassle tying corners in and washing covers.Not to mention putting covers back on , its a royal pain in the (|). Its a tedious process and a down comforter is simpler and just as effective and warm.The quilt or comforter is far better as down can be evenly distributed and stays there.Wash in Machine and put back on bed,

This is a short reentry to Grandpas Pearls .

I have lots to say!


 


"Saving millions for the state."

I was at Shop Rite today and ideas filled my head upon my visit.
We could save a fortune in cost of employment and state overhead if we just changed the process to get your driving license.
Here is the concept: 1.)You have to go to Shop rite . 2.)You must walk into Shop rite with a comprehensive shopping list of at least 30 different items. 3.)You must find every item and navigate Shop rites lanes and sections without asking anyone for the location of an item. 4.)You may not hit or bump into one single cart and or hit anyone while shopping. 5.) You must successfully check out without damaging your cart in the narrow check out lanes. If this can be documented and accomplished 5 times in succession you will receive your drivers license as nothing on the actual roads of America can be half as dangerous and scary as the Shop rite experience.
This will enable us to close the Drivers test section of the Motor Vehicle Department of New Jersey saving the tax payers millions of dollars .

There is nothing as challenging as the Shopping experience or the parking lot which is a minefield of possible catastrophes.  If you can handle it 5 times you automatically get your drivers license. If you fail once you must start at the beginning until you complete the challenge.
I dare you to come up with a harder more comprehensive test drivers test other than the WAWA parking lot experience but that is another blog entry for another day.
