Pink, Buffalo Burger Container, January 20, 2012
Pink
Yikes! What in raw buffalo burger would stain a container pink? The whole container - lid and all. Must have been some off gassing or migrating cloud. Tasted good even though my mouth is now all pink inside.

Skepticism is Helpful
If you want to notice things that seem wrong, you'll find a degree of skepticism helpful. I take it as an axiom that we're only achieving 1% of what we could. This helps counteract the rule that gets beaten into our heads as children: that things are the way they are because that is how things have to be. For example, everyone I've talked to while writing this essay felt the same about English classes-- that the whole process seemed pointless. But none of us had the balls at the time to hypothesize that it was, in fact, all a mistake. We all thought there was just something we weren't getting.
