Are you a tortilla chip person, or a salsa person? A tortilla chip person could eat their tortilla chips of choice with just a small amount of salsa, or no salsa at all. Comparatively, a salsa person uses every chip as a vehicle for maximum salsa transfer, usually double dipping and possibly triple dipping (only in private settings, of course).

Me? I am a salsa gal the WHOLE way. The chip is simply a vessel, and I will often take the smallest chip piece (rather than a whole chip) in order to maximize surface coverage of salsa. The spicier the salsa/pico de Gallo, the better in my book. At home, I regularly clean the little bowl of our favorite local habanero salsa. To me, there is simply no other way. Mr. leggo though? He’s a chip guy all the way!

I believe in the separation of chip and dip.

I believe in the separation of chip and dip.

So you eat the dip by itself, maybe with a spoon?

I'm a salsa person. I will use Ritz crackers as my vehicle if I have to.

Damn engineers. Always have to put formulas to things.
Actually....
View attachment 23571 You forgot about leap year. The correct formula would be (365x3 + 366) / (65x4).

I didn't forget about leap years. I'm just a good enough engineer to use my judgement as to whether something is important or not.

They said on average every 6 days. Pretty sure they just did 365 days in a year / 65 countries = 5.6 days between independence celebrations on average.

It appears the US is kind of a trendsetter. After we did it, other countries were like wait.... they can do that?

found a box of Junkless granola bars on super sale so I figured I would give the a try...no artificial anything, "no fake stuff". OMG...they need to change the name to tasteless...and now I have a case of the blahs.

that is the worst... bad when you have to find something else to replace the taste

Waiting on a package to arrive from Russia via USPS. Pretty sure it would have been faster if I had gone there by canoe and fetched it myself.

Is that because you realized the canoe was on backorder from China?

No, it's because I have three mice on my desk converter. Well, it was three, until one went swimming.

There should be a fat engineer week, so I can be appreciated.

I can easily make complex decisions at work but can't decide on which pumpkin patch to go to. Will the corn maze be challenging enough? Will it be crowded? Do they have her favorite apples? Hayrides. Does it include a stop at the pumpkin patch or is the "patch" just a big box full of pumpkins?

I don't do well with the unknown.

That's every engineer week.
