Expiration dates

Yesterday I shared the death bed haiku of Zen teacher Kozan Ichikyo.

Today I want to talk about expiration dates.

Check out the expiration date on the bag of Safeway Crinkle Cut french fries!

Do you see October 3006; or do you read October 30, 2006?

When I first looked at it, I read October 3006.

3006?

Now that's an expiration date!
