Amazon’s been experimenting with selling groceries for a while. Using your Amazon account, you can now buy a gallon of Tuscan Whole Milk. They’re even doing a special promotion right now with Standard shipping for just 99 cents.
Be sure to check out the customer images and review.
Not up for milk right now? How about some nice yellow cake instead? Amazon is also selling Uranium Ore! (Just remember that if you decide to use it as a power source, you’re not allowed to use iTunes to control the reactor. Ditto for using Google Earth.)
The customer images and reviews for this one are also priceless.
If that doesn’t do it for you either, then perhaps you’d like to buy a tank? It’s just the thing for blasting through traffic during your morning commute.
Sadly, none of these products are available with Free Super-Saver Shipping. 🙁

Waving Goodbye!
Whether I’m heading out for the office, or just a few errands, I usually give Wylie some sort of treat before leaving the house.
Wylie’s reaction to this ritual is mostly bored disinterest with the occasional wistful “when will you be back so I can get my ears skritched?” sort of look. He does get excited about the treats though and makes them disappear before I finish putting the gate up.
When I left to run some errands this afternoon though, Wylie’s reaction was something I’d never seen before — He waved goodbye! He immediately started sniffing at the treats, but then he waved a second time. And again! Just a short flapping of his left paw, the sort of “goodbye” wave that children give.
Genuinely surprised by this new behavior, I went to give Wylie a quick skritch on the head to let him know the gesture was appreciated and that I’d see him again soon. Wylie waved goodbye yet again, and now I was able to see what was going on.
That little clown had somehow got his dewclaw hooked on his collar and now he couldn’t get it loose! What I’d been seeing as a series of “waves” were actually repeated attempts to get himself untangled.
I got him unhooked in short order and knowing what happening does take something away from it. But I’m sure Wylie would have waved anyhow if he knew what it meant.
