Today I took my run at RSS feeds, being a quiet evening at the library (I was caught up in my work, visiting kids were so quiet I thought they were up to something, sparse patron traffic) and discovered what was I missing. Up until now I was pretty much being the "before" person, i.e., I was tracking the blogs by simply looking them up. The RSS Feed is a SupremeBeingsend (you never know the religion of the reader). I now have several of my favourite blogs and one news site (Google News Canada). And good thing too, otherwise I may have missed this headline:
"Gorcery store closed down by mice had 17 previous complaints"
"Wow!" I thought to myself, "way to go, mice!" After 17 complaints, it was the mice that succeeded in closing that gorcery store! It must've been some funky gorces to get those little guys worked up about it. Oh wait, wait...nope, it actually is a grocery store, and the mice were the cause of the closure. Oh, well then. 'Guess it was actually a Gross-ery store. Ha! Okay, that was adolescent. At least I know how to spell grocery.

Update: It looks like Bill Kaufmann (the author) corrected the spelling about three days later on February 14th. Good show!
