Two more great ideas

Cereal strainer

I’m tired of getting to the end of the Lucky Charms and Count Chocula and having all the tiny cereal powder clog up my milk.  Having a cereal-oriented strainer would allow me to lose the powder and just keep the charms all to myself.  I might even go so far as to insinuate that this increases oral hygiene, because the small powdery bits have a greater chance of getting lodged in places where brushing and flossing can’t completely get rid of them.

General Mills, are you listening?

Scrabble walkway

My father is putting in a new walkway between his garage and his front porch.  I suggested that instead of the (yawn) traditional stone or cement slab walkway, he pave the new path with Scrabble tiles.  I was unsure of which direction the tiles should face - readable for people walking towards the house, or people leaving the house?  While each approach has pros  and cons, but I think that walking up to the house is a better angle.  It’ll give people something to talk about when they get to the front door, assuming they have nothing else to talk about, or perhaps just as filler material when the conversation slows down of its own accord.

Pulte Homes, are you listening?
