Where do dippin' dots come from?  Oregon of course.  Why are they so expensive?  Because we have to wait for freak days like today where the heavens open up their factory and pour forth hundreds of thousands of dippin' dots.  When it stops we send out the brigades to go pick them up by the handfuls and store them in little styrofoam containers.  Then we sell them to Dippin' Dots.  We are going to make a fortune today because we got a good showering of them for about five straight minutes.  It was an absolute down pour and then,  like somebody turned off the faucet, it just stopped.  Yesterday we had a mini blizzard with huge flakes of snow scurrying around in every direction..... directly in the middle of Leo and I pulling weeds and landscaping the yard.  Strange weather we are having here!
