My view of Janeway is altered forever. I kinda always hoped that my Space Mom smelled like coffee.

Cheaper tobacco from overseas was mixed with more expensive tobacco from Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina in the US. IIRC, American servicemen got the cheaper blended cigs in their daily meal rations during WWII and got used to it. The ones who made it home brought their preference for Turkish blend back to the US. Their friends and families also got used to the flavor. Camel and other brands catered to that.

I can do the salute with my left hand only. I'm Zefram with my right, no matter how much I practice. Right-handed, but left eye dominant, which only affects me when I'm shooting and when I want to do the fargin salute. Can any one else relate? Until this day....I was alone.

It bothers me that the top type, in yellow, does not match the classic typeface of the packaging. Also, the yellow letters are touching each other and the whole thing is hideous. Poor man's Ingrid Bergman isn't helping, either.

Haha, you have made my morning! Yes, this knife still slices cleanly, even through tough, fibrous vegetables. I will spend whatever it takes to get it back to wholeness and sanity. I trust in McKay, our Higher Power in this situation. EDIT: I have never, at least, run it through a dishwasher.
