So we're driving home from a round of mini-golf and hitting a bucket of balls on a local driving range, and as we stop at a drugstore for chips and soda, we see a giant vehicle shaped like a hot dog on a bun, with the Oscar Mayer logo on the side.  It's the OSCAR MAYER WEINERMOBILE!!! of whose existence I was innocent until this moment.  But, since I work for a grocery co-op, I figure maybe they'll have a cool magnet I can slap on the side of my desk at work.

No such luck... but do you remember the "Oscar Mayer Weenie Whistle" that the stepfather wished for in "The Santa Clause"?  They've got some of those.  Okay, this is cool promotional kitsch.  Furthermore, there's a contest where one lucky winner gets to use the Weinermobile for a day, so I went home and entered that (it's here, on the web!)

ANONYMITY SOUGHT

One of my blogging friends has encountered (online, in her friend's blog only) a guy who bothered to look up her area code and told her he knew approximately where she lived.  While he's trying to tell her how to live her life (she's got an unpleasant personal situation at the moment).  There's a chance he could track through her back to me if he turns out to be a real psycho (evidence not in yet), and I don't live far enough away from him to be confident if he finds me.

I've gone back through my posts in an attempt to edit them of location/other data about our family and my kids.  This isn't complete anonymity but it's a start.  If anyone sees anything in this blog which could be used to identify me, please point it out to me so I can remove it.  ::sigh:: I don't think this is cause yet for huge alarm, but it's certainly annoying.

Toodles, all, and enjoy those brand-name franks!
