cleaning out the fridge

Today, I was up early... like, early enough to catch "Toon In With Me".
That's on at 7 AM, right?
I had to wait for it to come on.
Like I said, I was up early.
They always try to have a theme and this time it was a celebration of Daffy Duck.
This guy, Eric Bauza, is the new voice of the wacky fowl and, if you listen closely, you can catch the resemblance to the voice of Sylvester the cat.
For real.
Mel Blanc had just changed the tone of it to more exasperated for Daffy.
That was back in 1937, on this very day, when Daffy first aired on TV.
That means Daffy and Mama were created the same year, making the duck 86 years old today.
She would be that age this coming December.
Such an odd thought that she and this cartoon character have that in common.
Fortunately, after the show was over, I was able to catch a bit more sleep.
After breakfast, I decided to finally clean off that top shelf in the fridge.
It's been a fright for some time now, but, as I'm the only one here, it didn't bother me enough for me to do anything about it.
Today, something changed.
 
When I got the milk out, the sticky places and crumbs bothered me.
So, while I had breakfast, I left a wet paper towel on part of the shelf, to soften things up.
After I had that half clean, I shifted things over so i could do the other side.
That's when I caught a clear sight of this.
I'd picked up that apple juice the last time I was at the Red Cross center...
and, yet, I still had this.
Was it any good?
No, it had expired in November of last year.
I had it for a year, untouched, before then.
Wow.
Good to finally clean out the refrigerator.
