Merci M. Poubelle!

Just in case you were wondering, poubelle is the French word for trash can, and it's named after its creator, Mr. Poubelle (I really feel bad for all of his posterity)...but here is the great man himself in all of his splendor. I have a super deep connection to him because he taught in universities in both of the cities I claim as home (Toulouse and Grenoble). Yeah, we're basically related...no big deal



Though there is little to no sense in my train of thought (and on this blog) I assure you that there is a connection to dear old Mr. Trash Can. Without real solid trash cans, those brilliant computer science people would never have thought to create electronic trash cans...

 Today's therapy has been going through my "junk" e-mail address and unsubscribing myself from all those wonderful deal sites that I thought I would make great use of. Oh and I have started deleting some of the 5000+ emails that are in there...it just disturbs my borderline OCD brain to know that there is all this spam and other garbage I will never read just sitting there and growing like a malignant tumor in one of my e-mail accounts. No more! Into the trash with them!!!

Seeing as I should/could probably be doing one of ten other (way more important) things right now, you know my procrastination has reached a new low. Feel sorry for me. And again, a huge merci to Monsieur Poubelle! Don't know where we'd all be without you.
