Metro Free Wi-Fi is going offline at the end of the month! I know that practically no one was using it, but I WAS. Does this mean I have to pay for internet?!

 I was too! We’ll have to go to stumptown or backspace and steal their Internet. Like Internet Pirates! arrrr

 I don’t WANT to leave home to use the internet!!!!

Salt and Pepper holes

I bought some cute fawn salt and pepper shakers at a vintage shop yesterday. They are bright pink and very cute. One of the shakers has three holes and the other has two. Which goes with which?

Molly guesses three for salt. But Matt thinks three holes goes with pepper. Augh! Does anyone know the actual answer?

I always thought the three was for the pepper because it’s coarser and doesn’t come out as fast. I don’t really know what the answer actually is…

Googling this, ‘cause I don’t know the answer, I found this:

“Some say that a salt shaker should have more holes because of its favored status as a spice. Many people tend to shake copious amounts of salt and only sprinkle their food with pepper. Therefore, the salt shaker should have more holes in order to improve the flow, while a pepper shaker should do all right with fewer holes. If only it were that simple, however. Others say that it’s not the number of holes that makes a difference, it’s the size of said holes. Salt grains are thought to be larger than equivalent ground pepper flakes, so they should be put in a salt shaker with fewer but larger holes. Since ground pepper is lighter and dustier than salt, it requires more holes in order to flow out at a comparable rate.”

and this!

Tricky question, Miss Malty!

 Hm… Maybe there is no correct answer. Maybe they put 3 holes in one and 2 in the other so that you can tell them apart and leave it up to you to decide which is which.
