Life can be so twisted in the minuitiae

 minutiae...

I think I'm somewhat intelligent, but I constantly struggle with left vs. right, and exactly how many teaspoons in a tablespoon, etc.

So I'm munching on a jewelcase box of blueberries. On the label, it's "1 US DRY PINT". Just for fun, I go lookup pint on Wikipedia.

It's a fact filled smorgasboard with a solid chat about the difference between the imperial pint, vs. the US pint. Then it gets into the difference between a wet pint and a dry pint. Next, a conversation about the metric system, and the use of pints as a unit of sale....

And then a picture at the bottom of a pint of Naturipe Farms blueberries bleuettes. I'm looking at the exact same product in my hand, and then on the screen... In wikipedia.... It's a bit spooky. Kind of like those pictures where people set their background to match what's behind the screen to make it look like the computer screen is transparent....

Anyway, go enjoy your day!
