Apple Crackers 3

Now that's a hungry cookie monster! Never mind that 40 year old blue guy who was forced to change his diet due to political correctness. (BTW Happy 40th, Cookie Monster!)

Pewter fortune cookies also like apple cider from what I hear.

Apple Crackers 2

Enrique has the only copper cracker. I did a lot of experimenting when I was designing the prototypes. He got the copper one and ran off to One Infinite Loop with it. I wonder if it will show up in OS 11 as an Easter egg.

Here's another infinite loop:

float x = 0.1;

while (x != 1.1) {

printf("x = %f\n", x);

x = x + 0.1;

}

Apple Crackers 1

One of my long-time New York friends took his snack food collection (and his family) to California. He works for that ultra hip computer company that makes the little music thingies that hold a ton of vinyl records. I heard from Lieutenant Dan that it's some kind of fruit company.

Anyway, enough about them apples. This week we'll feature pix from him in not The Big Apple.

De Korenbeurs and cracker

Wifie found her name in a faux Dutch town on a lunch-time stroll.

The Copper Queen of the Hudson

The Statue of Liberty intrigues many people. I'm one of them. I did an oral presentation on Lady Liberty in 5th grade. Long before Google, we either had World Book or Britannica Encyclopedias to do our reports from. My homework (completed in the 70s if you must know) was often misguided by my prized set of 1955 World Book Encyclopedias handed down from my uncle. After a few bad grades for out-dated references, my parents got me the Random House All-In-One Encyclopedia (I still have it). Not as much about the copper crowned French chick in the harbor as World Book, but something.

Why did the French give her to us? Only they know.

That's her sticking up in the distance. My wife takes a walk out to the water at lunch time and wonders if her arm gets tired holding that torch.

Yeah, look close. It's that thing that could be mistaken for a lighthouse. Want a closer view, then take the Staten Island Ferry. It's a fun ride.

Smart Car: One Cracker Long, One Cracker Wide

It's official . . .

. . . one cracker long . . .

. . . and one cracker wide.

The Smart Car would fit in a cracker box, so if you have a Cracker Box Palace, you'll do fine with it.

He's not heavy. He's my brother.
