kar's trail mix

 sometimes i get snacks from the vending machine at work. recently this has been kar's trail mix fairly often. i liked seeing the story of the company on the back of the package, starting out selling nuts outside tiger stadium in Detroit in 1933. this week i got the cranberry almond delight. it has peanuts, dried cranberries, and almonds. i like this more than the one that has seeds in it. i am still noticing not only a slightly different lineup of snacks offered in the vending machines i have found, but also a difference on price. i go a floor below where i work, taking the stairs inside the breakroom, and get them there where it is a dollar cheaper. sometimes i also get a Kellogg nutri-grain bar, lower calories. the boss was in the shop in the morning and helped with getting the laptop ordered when the pop-up arrived. sounds like i.t. was able to get the ship-to address changed to the downtown office where i am now based. the first of the tax forms arrived, i said those would be done early next week. easier to do in the morning when there are no check files to print. in the evening i went to Hy-Vee in Eagan for groceries. i liked seeing some metallic balloons with smiling faces on them for various fruits. i bought two boxes of Chex cereal and finally noticed the variation on the lettering between the regular-marked boxes and the ones with the charlie brown characters on them. there still are some with charlie on the box, the corn-flavored kind. this was one of the two i bought, the other was peanut butter. i also got a look at the tax form sent by the credit union. no surprise how the interest rate yield was way higher on the certificate of deposit. for the year, the interest payments on the savings account was well under a dollar. this was something i realized a while back, and decided to start moving as much as i could into a certificate. still pleased how i have already more than doubled the amount in there since i opened it over four years ago. during my walks i found 50 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when penny kicked a man in the groin for sheldon and said 'give him his stuff back'. it was also when bernadette said 'that bitch' about priya. it was followed by the one where we meet denise, who works in the comic book shop.
