Saw this one at the hardware store, where I bought matches.

They had it in yellow, too.

Finished my freelance. At 12 bucks an hour, when I added it up, it didn't seem like much of a deal. But it's money I wouldn't get otherwise.

Manny to the vet this week. Not sure if he's acting significantly funny or not. Maybe so. Next week sleep test. Work party Friday, with karaoke. Yep, just trying to situate myself in the calendar, which is a version of situating oneself in the world. It's a kind of relationship. They all have their dangers.

P.S. It's not just your personal experience & cred but your math chick thing that make me wont to trust you on the volume.

I had some math question the other day--- oh, right, I wanted to figure out whether the old cylindrical tub or the newer cube-ish one for refillable cat litter at PetCo holds more. They both claim to be 30 pounds, and maybe they are, and were designed to be thus, but I still wonder. Slightly curved sides in the near-cylinder complicate the math a lot, I imagine. And in the cube-ish variation.

::nods:: once they're not neat, right-corner shapes, it's much easier to go experimental on them. [Would they both hold the same amount of water, say?]

But then, I have a physics degree, too, and sometimes am all practical like that. ;^)

Yeah, the water trick would be a good one! Problem is, I don't want to buy the squarish one, since I still have the roundish one, unless it's a better deal. Don't think I could get away with opening one of them just to pour its contents into my empty one & see which was the "winner."

It's true, you are thwarted by only owning one of them. But I'm willing to bet that if they're both supposed to be 30lb containers, it's likely they're at least pretty close.
