But then again... I'm a techie, not a marketing azzhole.... but best guesses are free, as they say......
Agreed, but point being when you go to the grocery store the products, while still there, are no longer front and center as they once were. At least that is my observation here.
Krispy Kreme, a company that took a royal beating due to the low carb craze went into the ice cream biz. Now you can get donuts and ice cream in the same cup.

Hmmm...I'm hungry. I should not go down this path. lol
Walked into town tonight to grab dinner and was walking with my camera hanging around neck Friday night. Don't think much about it but I do keep an awareness of my surroundings.
I've dined in downtown Raleigh on an occasion, I like it there.

Not as easy as you might think, lots of people walking around with cameras.
I don't recall the restaurant as it has been many years, but I do recall it was typical fare, no ethnic cuisine.

I could pick you out of a crowd. I would put money on it.
But not tonight. I'm going to bed!

As much as I'm ebarrassed to say,I'm a full on metalhead... I like it loud and heavy... that being said, if you listen to some old school Zepplin and it clearly has a major major blues influence... things that would have never went over when I was in HS... you talk about blues and you get the shyt kicked out of you...

I hear it now... I hear it big time.

It is funny how time changes you and how you can see or hear something in a new light..... albeit might be a black light... but a light nonetheless.......

Sound familiar?

My friend and I call Zeppelin nerd-rock because they have songs about things like Lord of the Rings.
