why do I read the blogs I do?

Why do I read the blogs I do? Because in the middle of a programmer-centric blog I can read a paragraph like this:

You need a good stiff-bristled brush, a stream of hot water, and some elbow grease. Which creates a problem: Unless you’re the kind of person who is so organized that they plan their potato-greasing well in advance (in which case please go away) you’ve ignored the washing problem until you’re about ready to put ’em in the oven. And you have to grease ’em first, and everyone knows that oil and water don’t mix. I usually have recourse to paper towels at this point, and my spirit darkens as I think of the softwood forest giants slaughtered so that I may dry my spuds because I Wasn’t Organized Enough. But I digress.

and it pleases me.

It's good to be multi-faceted.
