That Thing Again (with aspirin)

I started taking a low dose aspirin a while ago, and as I was filling up my weekly pill dispenser this morning that thing happened again.

But this time it happened twice!  The wayward one rolled away and stayed upright and the one in the pill container just landed that way.

Harry M’s case wasn’t technically a suitcase, but it contained some interesting things.

I’m not sure what the wooden object on the left is, but the Latimer White Petroleum Jelly label is quite nice.  And the Prell shampoo bottle is classic.  The label had fallen off, but it has the “Rinse, Lather, Repeat” admonition that got consumers to use twice as much as they probably needed.

I have been editing and uploading more of the suitcases, and you can see the latest here.  Just click on “The Cases” at the top of the page.  Thanks for following.

Tulips

tulips and grass

The university has planted a ton of tulips in anticipation of a flood of people visiting for commencement.  Most of them are planted in regular beds, but these guys are interspersed with clumps of grass just outside of the recreation center.  Nice.
