Is Jack Really Silver?

Yesterday, we saw a photo taken at Silverjack Reservoir just northeast of Ridgway. Today, we will take a look at some shots around the water. First, this is the view along the road out to the reservoir.

Next, we look out over the water to the south.

And finally, a view to the west.

And even more finally, today's Clarity of Vision.

And unfortunately, school lunches continue to shrink so we won't give our kids anything remotely unhealthy. I saw this on Drudge Report today.

This was an interesting interview with Jeff Probst about what happens if a player leaves an idol at a site and they move to a new team and site...

I get this question a lot when surprise tribe switches happen so I pass that question on to you, sir: Since contestants like Keith don’t carry around their hidden immunity idols with them and instead leave them back at their old camp, how do they get it when they get swapped over to a different tribe? Is it returned to them along with any other items they left back at their previous beach?
Great question. Depends on the situation. If you took your idol out of your bag and “hid” it under a rock and left without it, then the rules of Survivor don’t allow for any “help” for you to get it back. So, in that sense, it is your responsibility to have it with you. But if you left it in your personal bag and just didn’t bring your bag with you, then yes, we always move all of their personal items (clothes, water container, bag, etc) to their new island. So if you had it with your possessions, you are fine; if you hid it, you are not. We always remind the players at the start of the game of one big idea: Survivor is unpredictable. No matter how well you know it, you can’t be certain that it is going to go the way you think it is — so be prepared at all times.

Remember when I shared some info about real and fake Oreo flavors? I have another one today. Is Red Velvet Oreo real or fake? I cannot tell.

Speaking of real or fake, are the deals on Shark Tank real? You bet. Here is a quick update on some that panned out, and others that did not.

Do workers at tobacco companies smoke more than the general public? Reynolds American says no, and beginning next year, employees can no longer smoke in their buildings. I remember when I hated to go to some peoples offices for a meeting because I knew they would smoke. Those days are long gone, and this change reflects the new business environment.

Sorry for the delay in publishing today's post. I got distracted by actual work stuff. Can you believe it? In fact, I am heading back into it as soon as I send this to all of you. Have a thankful Thursday.
