Yay we finally got rain yesterday !!! I think the plants were having a party !!!

ok before we get started on today's ? Lets solve the mystery of yesterdays
Do you know where Levi Straus put a rivet in the original pair of blue jeans, which was fairly quickly removed ?
The original pair of blue jeans that Levi Strauss made had a copper rivet in the crotch seam. And one night when old Levi was squatting right by the campfire, he suddenly realized that it was not such a terribly good idea to have a piece of metal in that precise location. So ever since, Levi's blue jeans have had rivets in all the other high-stress seam corners EXCEPT that one!
I guess they were the original "hot pants"

Thanks for revealing the answer to yesterday's teaser, Karla!

Today's Question(s):

When you are driving on a highway, do you typically go
The speed limit?
5 mph over?
10 mph over?
zoom zoom?

Assuming good driving conditions, I generally push it to about 6 or 7 MPH over the speed limit. Most state troopers won't pull you over if you're less than 10 MPH over, and since there are usually plenty of pickings among the "zoom-zoom" crowd, they don't bother with someone poking along at *only* 6 or 7 over the limit.

Bonus Question:

Does your TV "tease you" by airing commercials for stores or restaurants that are not in your area?

No clue, I don't watch television.

Extra Credit Question:

When it comes to most electronic devices, I guess you could say I am a bit "old fashioned"?
I am not and never will be a member of the iPod and iPad and blueteeth and blackberry generation. I can manage a basic PC-format computer without too much trouble, but that's the extent of my electronic gadgetry capabilities.

Just for Fun:

Oh, gosh, let's see. I'd love to walk in Alaskan Mutt's shoes for a day; I don't think I'd enjoy traveling that much continually, but it would be fascinating to spend a day like that. It would be fascinating to spend a day being Tek_Freek, because I'd love to actually understand what my computer is doing instead of just being frustrated by it. And I'd love to spend a day being Toosie, just because she is such a cool person.

And if you'd let me choose more than three, I could go on for a long, long time!

When it comes to basic accounting knowledge, I would make a pretty good Coach?

I guess I could say knitting, but that's not very exciting. Plus I'm really not a good teacher. I guess I'm gonna say "life", because I pretty much coach people in that every day. I could be a good life coach.
