"Nothing can be so amusingly arrogant as a young man
who has just discovered an old idea and thinks it is his own."

Confusing snow. All the weather sites said "light flurries", and "total accumulation 1 inch or less." A half hour ago, there was (were?) already three inches, and it was coming down fast and heavy, big clumpy blobs, and I was rapidly losing the will to live. Now, precipitation has stopped, the sun is out, the road has melted clear, and there's maybe an inch of new stuff left on the ground in shaded spots.
I don't understand.

PeaPod is wonderful! It keeps track of my prior orders, including stuff I bought on trips to the Stop & Shop, so all I have to do is check off stuff I want more of. Delivery is slightly less than $7 (except that as a new customer, I get several weeks of free delivery) plus an optional tip for the driver, and I consider it worth that. Daughter wondered if the items cost more, but I compared some old register strips to the PeaPod online prices, and they are pretty much the same. Pistachios are cheaper, canned soup seems to run a few cents more, and so on. In the aggregate it looks like no real difference in cost.
The only problem is that they don't have everything I would buy in the store. Like they don't have the Quaker granola cereal, or Stacy's pita chips in the flavors I like. I suspect they "PeaPod" only the most popular of the brands and flavors.

I just noticed that my minivan is blue! I've had it for 13 years. When I bought it, it was a strange color mid-way between dark green and blue. Half the people asked described it as green, half as blue. I described it as blue-green. But now, "suddenly", it's definitely dark blue. Not even a hint of green. Weird.
