In my college years, flying between New York and Michigan, I remember airport vending machines that sold life insurance for the duration of your flight, in case of crash. How comforting is that? I know this is reflective of my age but it does comfort me that I still have a memory.
Do you remember outdoor cigarette machines? The life insurance should have been sold next to those. And Chiclet machines in the NY Subway. They came in little tiny cardboard boxes, that held two, like the Halloween sized ones. I think I just learned something new, at least I don't remember that the name Chiclets was derived from the name for the substance from which which gum was originally made.
When are they going to come up with a Koigu or Addi vending machine?

I've promised vacation knitting. This is the progress I've made on my Rosebud Scarf, with the Franklin yarn I won on Erika's blog, Knitting @ Pantheon Acres. Upon completion, you drop the stitches between the buds a la Clapotis. Scroll down to her August 13th post for pictures of her finished product.
