While we're searching for the camera...

...to retrieve pictures from Easter, a recent head-scratcher:

The walnuts we purchased from the store this week were labeled "free range."  My thoughts: (1) I've seen those trees in Lord of the Rings, and I'm not sure I want to eat their fruits, (2) Do we now put any words proved to poll well on packages, provided they're not technically false? Maybe I should tell students that I'm handing out organic, cage-free, locally handcrafted syllabi to see if it generates higher class enrollments.

    Reminds me of toasters and alarm clocks in 1999 that were sold as "Y2K compliant".
