Uncle Roger's Notebooks of Daily Life
My life is, to me, ripe with frequent challenges, occasional successes, spontaneous laughter, adequate tears, and enough *life* to last me a lifetime. To you, however, it surely seems most pedestrian. And therefore, I recycle the name I used previously and call this my Notebooks of Daily Life. Daily, because it's everyday in nature, ordinary. These conglomeration of events that are my life are of interest to me because I live it, perhaps mildly so to those who are touched by it, and could only be of perverse, morbid curiosity to anyone else. Yet, I offer them here nonetheless. Make of them what you will, and perhaps you can learn from my mistakes.

Tip: Coffee Lids are Not Omnidirectional
Next time you get coffee in a paper take-out cup, pause a moment before putting on that plastic lid.
Take a look at the cup. Notice the seam running vertically where the two edges of the paper have come together to form the sides of the cup. Now think about the top rim of the cup, and how the lid seals against it.
Where the seam is, the lid simply cannot form a tight seal; it will leak. Therefore, you don't really want to cause it to leak any more than you have to, right? You probably don't want to tip the cup towards that vulnerability. But how to avoid that and still be able to drink your coffee? Think, think, Roger!
When you put the lid on your coffee cup, feel for the seam and make sure the drinking hole is opposite the seam. That way, when you tip the cup to drink, the coffee will flow to the lid at the point furthest from the weak point. No more coffee drips on your shirt.

I went through a lot of shirts before I figured out why I kept pouring coffee on myself. Now I always check. |
