Genius loci

Certain places trigger certain memories or trains of thought, have you ever noticed that?

Like the toilet here at work. The third or fourth time I was sitting on it yesterday, I remembered something I was told recently about sugar alcohols, such as the artificial sweetener sorbitol. And that led to another memory, of a conversation I'd had that morning in the car on my way to work.

    Me: Oh yeah? Who says?

    Beta: It says right here on the pack. So maybe you should take it easy on those sugarless Fisherman's Friends.

    Me: Yeah right.

    Beta: And I also wouldn't chew so much of that gum, either.

by the bye: be careful of xylitol. it's quite a powerful bronchial/pulmonary antibiotic-- extended & heavy-ish use of xylitol chewing-gum tends to create chronic respiratory infections that are very hard to treat, since you've created your own little internal population of super-bugs.

Mmm. Super-bugs.
