It All Comes Together

Spoiler alert . . . this blog post is of no importance and possibly of less interest than usual.

A few weeks back, I met Alessandro Bazzana who is staying at Chuck's house, just prior to the Haystack Mountain team time trial. Baz is an Italian rider, racing for the Fly V-Successful Living squad and basing himself out of Chuck's basement for the summer. He has been posting his musings on Chuck's site The Pros Stuff and they are often quite amusing. When I read this article in the WSJ this morning, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to scribble about it.

I never really thought about Grape Nuts, what they are or how they are made, but they are pretty tasty, especially in yogurt or Kefir. Fascinating to find out that they get baked in brick like loaves and then dumped down a chute where giant blades turn them into whatever shape it is that they are. I also never knew that they had outrages advertisements because I never considered them to be a cereal that took much marketing . . . learn something new every day. So next time you are cereal shopping, picture in your head the Post employee tossing logs of soon to be "ape's nuts" down to the chopper, shouting "Dropping the bombs! Dropping the bombs!"
