Another not-technically-a-blog BPotD. Whatevs. I’m guessing there’s not a going to be anything conclusive as to which side is right here. But I can tell you my own subjective observations. For roughly the last six to eight years I’d been a pretty heavy Diet Soda drinker. This summer, I gave it up, more or less cold turkey (I drank down my supply rather than pouring it out). The fact that I didn’t seem to suffer any withdrawl should be one sign. However, I do feel better overall, and don’t seem to have the same cravings for pop that I used to, so that’s also a sign.

Your mileage may vary, but I think there’s probably something to be said overall for not putting random-ass chemicals in your body, if you can avoid it.

I’ll admit, I make a lot of inside jokes. To wit, the first line in this post is a joke designed solely to make myself laugh. Frankly, every time I make a joke the goal is just to amuse myself. If anyone else comes along for the ride, I’m thrilled. But that’s another story.

So anyway, clearly fiddler crab season refers to this.

And if you need more context than that, go watch this.

There. I’m glad we got that cleared up.
