We're going to do something a little crazy today: A full-fledged Daily Grind mix of everything. No focus. No theme. Just a potpourri of internet blooms. Like my 9-year-old when his Ritalin has run out...we're just going to be all over the place. As usual, I'll try to keep it fun, informative, positive without any mention of genocide, pedophilia, Ryan Lochte, Kanye, Britney, the Orange Menace, Global Warming, childhood obesity, Black Lives Matter, email servers, Snowden, Roger Ailes, National Anthem protests, iPhone 7, Syria, Samsung explosions, ISIS, North Korea, Putin, refugees or the Most Interesting Man In The World (as decided by an alcohol company). Do you SEE how Ventipop keeps you out of the mucky muck?! Enjoy your Grind folks.

- MIT has created a camera that can see through 9 pages of a closed book, but once they fine-tune the power and signal-to-noise ratio the skies the limit. And, I mean, how hard can that be?
- What's it say about me that I REALLY want a Fidget Cube?
- The U.S. Forest Service still hires fire lookouts. There used to be 10,000 of them. Now, there are a mere few hundred. They get paid $12 per hour. But they aren't doing it for the money.
- Admit it, after reading all that negative BS above, you'd love to leave it all behind too just like this couple did:
- Seriously dude, don't come to work if you are sick.
- What recourse do you have if you keep getting auto-billed for a thing you don't want?
- The Marvel movie franchise is now the highest grossing movie franchise of all-time. More than Star Wars, Harry Potter and James Bond. So, why can't we sing, hum or even identify ANY Marvel Movie Music?
- Last month, Saturday Night Live said goodbye to Jay Pharoah and Taran Killam. Yesterday, SNL announced the additions three new featured players: Mikey Day, Alex Moffat and Melissa Villasenor.
- Amazon says these were the best books of August.
...The Last Drop
This one is a must-read for it is something that has plagued mankind and all generations before us! Since the doors of the first mercantile ever opened. Since Mr. Olsen filled the first glass jar with hard tack. The perilous, self-doubt-inducing-panic-ridden decision of..."How To Pick The Fastest Lane At The Supermarket". (I never pick the right one and I always hear, "You Chose Poorly!" in my head after.)
