  “Do You Want to Target Men Interested in Panties?”

  

  So, apparently I’m giving Facebook the wrong idea.  It’s taking my posts about TSA and is… well… assuming something completely different about the blog. I’ve been writing about the ridiculousness of TSA security–both on the passenger AND TSA side. So, yesterday, I wrote about how a woman tried to sneak …

  Multi-Purpose Shoes Make Beach Drinking Easier

  

  My beach-ware of choice is Reef.  And they’ve come up with an interested invention–shoes with build in bottle openers. I usually remember to bring a bottle opener with me, but I’ve definitely had it go missing too.  It can fall into the sand and then… well, it’ll be an artifact …
