beds, juice, and cows

Today I learned that it's really easy to cut the springs out of one of those cheapy cotton/polyester futons with springs in it. Then I learned that even if your springs are double-bed sized, they do fine holding up your queen-size homemade kapok futon. The reason this is important is that the kapok futon, known here earlier as the giant pillow, really isn't giant pillow shaped anymore. Kapok packs down.

In other news, Lakewood brand 100% pure organic carrot juice has some lemon juice in it. It tastes like somebody tried to make lemonade sweetened with carrot juice, and on the yummy/disgusting food scale, it falls pretty squarely on 'undrinkable.'

And since you haven't gotten a good biking update lately, this morning I scared four cows on two different parts of the trail, and only one was far enough away that she didn't feel obligated to run the other way. I learned that the ability to read doggie expressions translates to cows; you should have seen the 'holy s---' looks on their faces.
