This time of year, weather in the Midwest can be ugly. In this house — I guess because it’s all brick? — I rarely hear anything going on outside. But this afternoon, the wind was howling so hard, I definitely heard it. At this point, there was no rain.
I thought I should let the dogs out (one at a time because Merida is too rough for Dharma), before the rain started. I opened the back door that goes into the sun room and the suction was crazy. Dharma outside first and the door not properly latched, it blasted open and even moved the stuff on the kitchen table.
In about 10-minutes, the rain started and the wind died down a bit.
Within the hour, the temperature has gone from 86°F to 67°F. Where the past few days have been tempting 90°, the next couple will barely see 70°. Now that Ben has a new A/C unit, it’ll be cool enough he doesn’t really need it. Go figure.
In other news, I had to throw away 9 pounds of Jif peanut butter. 😠
Is your peanut butter contaminated with salmonella? Instructions are to “discard the product immediately.” Not get a refund… just throw it away. Funny that J.M. Smucker isn’t able to “estimate the recall’s financial impact” on their company when I can tell you that it’s impacting me by $21.60.
Be VERY CAREFUL when shopping online at Walmart.
Just checking the prices of Jif so I could be accurate with my losses, I found that currently you can only buy one size and type of Jif peanut butter in the store or for home delivery. I had to go back to a past order to find out exactly what I paid because of the discrepancy of pricing in their current offerings. Check this out!
That’s quite a bit of difference in cost for the exact same product, don’t you think? Please note that Perry doesn’t have one single thing to do with any online product offerings. The only thing he’s online for in regard to work is congratulating associates for graduating. 😉
TIL (Today I Learned): Las Vegas grew 780,000 people since 2002 but water usage dropped by 24 billion gallons annually in 2020. Nevada’s allotment of water from Lake Mead is only 4% of the total inflow.
