What) Let me
state a fact that you have probably worked out for yourself by
now. At times the Buckys can become or are the result of the
obsessive thoughts that occasionally lodge themselves in my
brain. I am fortunate in that these thoughts are strong and
compelling but don't usually stay that way for long.
That makes
this particular Buckys a bit unusual. I made a point of
purchasing, photographing and eating one new snack on nearly
every driving day that we had. I tried to pick something
appealing that I had never eaten before. That was easy
enough for me to do but I doubt that you will care much about
reading through the 26 different snacks that I found. Just
click on each of
these five links (if they are blue) and the other
snack Buckys will have blue boxes around them. Alternatively,
you could go back to the main page
and try to guess which of the images relate to snacks.
Where)
Perhaps you would like to read on and find out.
Why) If I
could truly work out all the connections between human brains
and obsessions then I would be an incredibly wealthy and
powerful man.
At the time we crossed the border into the US, I had been
carrying this nail (shown actual size) around in my pocket
for 36 days. I had kind of forgotten its existence until
Pam gave the wrong answer to the border security guard and
they decided to search the vehicle and make me empty my
pockets. Fortunately, I was able to convince one of my two
searchers that I was carrying the nail around for Lent so
they sent us on our way and let me keep the nail. Finally,
all my experience
being searched at border crossings came in handy.

Unknown (I never tasted the nail) Would I buy it
again: No
Because Pam has
an interest in nutrition, we made a rule that I had to
read her the ingredient list before I was allowed to
consume the Snack of the Day. I enjoyed the
challenge of pronouncing all of the ingredients and Pam
enjoyed trying to spot all the forms of sugar.
