Several cephalopods

Blogger dot com sucks when it comes to my spelling needs.  Couldn't find cephalopod at all.  Mind you, I had it very misspelled to start, but once I corrected it, this spell check insisted that I wanted sloped or scalloped or scalped.  Is scalped really a more popular concept than octopi and squid?  I suppose it is the scalping of tickets and not the forcible removal of the forelock with a tomahawk.

The liquor store that revels in having fun sayings on its sign as you drive north on 28 had its usual "Holidays mean family, we sell liquor" sign up until a few days ago when they replaced it with "and now without the octopus."  I don't know what it means and I didn't notice until I walked out so I could ask (and yes I would have) but it reminded me that I have a new design idea for the Octopus Obsession and possibly the Magical Starfish.  Also that I am without the squid that took up residence below my belly button.  Maybe it was the swimming?  Maybe I am not ready to relinquish swimming to the Big Bad and the Bumble Beans between them?

I should really get on with the next step of my toymaking career, but I think I need to rest a little first.

And possibly clean the house.  It needs it and so do I.
