It's few and far between the times that I haven't seen or heard something interesting, out of the ordinary, or outright odd riding the bus or train to work. This morning's items:
1. A Portland State University student carrying his metal Knight Rider lunchbox! Oh how I coveted those when I was in elementary school. Unfortunately BYU students were only allowed to carry plaid J. Crew brand lunch boxes, which were totally not the same.
2. Overhearing some cheesemakers in town for the world artisan cheese festival comparing notes, including this little gem: "There's a distinct flavor barrier, and you have to have a well-crafted cheese to be able to punch through it. Some cheeses can punch through that barrier, but it leaves them tired, resulting in a less-than-optimum cheese." I still have no idea what it means--although I do know that Tilamook cheddar is great and Kraft singles are coagulated orange vegetable oil. I just wish my aunt Bonna could be here for the cheese festival--then I'd have an excuse to go and maybe finally learn what the difference between Edam and Gouda really is!

You had a lunc box at BYU? I just carried around quarters when I had them and tried to eat something from the vending machine... I never knew you could get a cup of soup from a vending machine before that.
