It's all in how you look at it

In the news today, I came across an article about a hotel in Nantes, France which offers people the unique opportunity of living like a hamster. At Hamster Villa, you eat hamster grain, run in a hamster wheel, and sleep in hamster haystacks. I wonder if you are contained in a hamster cage during your stay?

Then I saw an article about a company that is making fragrances using the DNA code of famous dead people. Their perfumes include "Marilyn" (Marilyn Monroe), "IQ" (Albert Einstein), "M" (Michael Jackson), "Blue Suede" (Elvis), and "Entrance" (Joan Crawford).

So, here it is, not even Thanksgiving and I've given you 2 holiday gift ideas for that hard-to-buy-for person!

And what does my photo have to do with all this? Just another reflection of the world around us...

Another pretty reflection photo! Looks like you're getting some nicely-colored leaves in Boise. As interesting as both the hamster hotel and celebrity fragrances sound, I don't think either will make it onto any of my holiday gift lists. I'll have to google the Hamster Villa though -- sounds like a riot!

Thanks, Katie. The leaves are nearly gone now because the temps have dropped and we had a little snow over the weekend.
I can't say the Hamster Villa or the DNA fragrances will make it on my list, either. But it's amazing what people come up with sometimes...
