Creation, Dawning, Initiation, Introduction, Origin, Source or Blog One

Greetings friends, strangers and acquaintances. If you are reading this you are officially lurking through the internet to read these thoughts. Congratulations. I commend your fortitude.

For months (years?) I have thought about starting a blog. The reasons for not starting a blog are many...I have lived in several different cities and have good friends in each city and I like to keep track of them via the wonderful invention of the internet. I can see photo's of a good friend from college new baby or read recipes from complete strangers. By comparison, I am a single lady (waiting for someone to put a ring on it) and fear that no one would want to hear the thoughts and adventures of my simple life. However, through the urging of friends I have bit the proverbial bullet and begun. The blog is still under construction, but here we all are, for blog post number one. The pressure for the first post is incredible. Its like reading the first 5 pages of a new book. I have only this moment to hook you, and leave you wanting to know more about me and the crazy, wonderful life I lead. Well, friends, strangers and mere acquaintances I want to share something VERY important with you.



I found this little gem of a vending machine near my parents house in Boise, Idaho (don't worry, we'll devote entire postings to the randomness of Boise). There are so many questions involved with a "Live Bait" vending machine. Who puts in the bait? How frequently is the bait switched? What happens if you put in your dollar for a night crawler and its dead? Who replaces the bait? What is the optimal refrigeration for live bait? Who puts the bait in and what is the supply and demand of the field? When you saw this picture did you also envision young children selling worms dug up from the backyard just like me. The possibilities really are endless. Don't stay up too late thinking of new questions, my brain is still tired of thinking about this vending machine.
