Tagged = someone challenges you to come up with 10 random things about yourself, then you have to tag 5 other bloggers.
10 Random things about me:
- I have a soft heart and maybe even a slight obsession with both vultures and opossums. I think they are the under-dogs of the animal world and feel that they are severely under-appreciated.
- I can tell you that a Taco Bell taco-the regular corn, hard shell kind- when properly made, weighs 3 oz. Those 3 oz consist of 1.5 oz beef like substance, ½ oz lettuce, ¼ cheese, and the shell weighs ¾ oz. Add another oz for a supreme (3/4 oz sour cream, ¼ oz tomatoes)
- I have always wanted to learn to play the cello. Last summer I rented one and tried to teach myself. I gave up after a month. I still want to learn, but will try an instructor next time.
- Although I am a self proclaimed vegetarian… I LOVE bacon!!! It is one of the biggest temptations is my world. I consider bacon the gateway meat- in the same way that pot is sometimes said to be a gateway drug, opening the door to harder ones.
- I love plants and I love to garden, but I tend to forget to water plants for months at a time and generally, eventually kill them.
- I grew up near the beach and spent summers vacationing in Kentucky. Never thought it odd until I moved to KY and found everyone here vacations in Florida.
- I visited East Berlin in 1987, 2 years before the wall was torn down. The only picture I have shows a big thumb covering 90% of the picture. You can see my bright red pants and white Reebok high tops and a bit of graffiti on a wall behind me.
- I have been to the Daytona 500.
- On January 28, 1986, I watched the space shuttle Challenger blow up from my high school campus, less than three miles away from the launch site at Kennedy Space Center.
- I have a sometimes considered odd or uncanny memory for dates of happenings, I can generally tell you what time it is within 15 minutes, and I don’t use an alarm to wake up in the mornings (that was three in one… a couple of bonus ones there)!

Did you work at Taco Bell? Is that how you knew that?
I appreciate Vultures a bit more after meeting you. I even shared vulture info with a friend recently. You are quite the evangelist for those (rather homely but important) birds. :)
The Taco Bell thing is a little wacky. No human being knows that, you must be an alien.
Yes, I did work at Taco Bell. It has been 15 years ago that I left there, but it's about that number thing. I also know that a bean burrito weighs 7 oz and can tell you the break down of that as well. As far as the alien comment... well it certainly is not out of the realm of possibilities!
