Who knew a story about a light bulb could be inspiring?

Makes me wonder why I'm always in need of new light bulbs every few months! I guess the little bulb also predated planned obsolescence.

Lightbulbs aren't my thing, dear Liz. However, I'm just ga-ga over the web cam @ www.paintdrying.com. Did you know certain latexes actually change one tenth of a shade every ten minutes until they're completely dry? Riveting.

Pardon me a moment. (Children be quiet! You'll get your breakfast when I'm through watching "Ocean Mist" settle in!)
