I seldom do. But I treat the things as a snack, mostly eat them around midnight.

Theyâre made of plastic â just a tag-out lock. Theyâve got a great core, though. Better than just about any other Master lock.

Kind of disappointing its plastic but considering these are for tag-outs i suppose that makes sense. What do you use yours for?
I just try to pick it. I have two, keyed alike, and one I can pick after some groping around, and the other one has so far defeated me. It doesnât make much sense.

Fun fact: an anagram of âyikesâ is âkey isâ! The key is what, I wonder.
(just trying to bring this back around to safes for old timeâs sake.)

I was going to say that most sake isnât aged beyond six months, and is drunk within a year 
âŚbut today I learned that a small percentage of sake on the market is aged, some of it for a number of years. Apparently some of it may taste similar to sherry, or bourbon, or whiskey.
Therefore I think itâs safe to say: while one may have some understanding of a subject, never assume you have a lock on it.
(And seriously, donât humans ageâor attempt to age, or age by accidentâpretty much all foods? I should have known there would be aged sake! I suppose I vaguely guessed there would be, or I wouldnât have gone looking it up.)

Wonderful things like beer and cheese would probably not exist if not for some neolithic happy accident. Hurrah for absentmindedness.

And for having enough to eat that some can be set aside for laterâŚin a safe place, of course.

The other day I learned that oaks have a three-year cycle for acorn production: two lean years followed by a boom year. The two lean years keep the nut forager population in check; the boom year causes squirrels to go nuts (ha) with hoarding, collecting and hiding so many nuts that they forget about a large number of them. If the oaks always had lean years this distribution wouldnât happen; if they were always heavy producers the forager population would boom and all the nuts would get eaten too.

The squirrels are probably hoping for some nice fermented acornsâŚimagine their surprise to find that theyâve got a bunch of little trees instead.

And of course its always some sloppy guy thatâs gunna look at some old food they left out and thinks⌠maybe itâll taste ok. And eats it despite it looking way past fresh.
Iâm not saying this out of experience⌠not at allâŚ
