Thanks to those who reminded me about the Pillsbury/General Mills merger,
and to all who informed me off list that Nike was filming a commercial
early this morning from 9 last night to 6am this morning...  apparently
people in Nike shoes running in the snow behind a bus.  Coming soon to a
television near you!

Kind of makes you wonder if they couldn't have waited a month or so for the
real stuff?  :-)
