Random Thoughts or Whatever

Composing a resignation letter to my current employer. Gonna retire. It's time.

I recall a cartoon with the Feds arresting The Colonel, saying they had analyzed the eleven herbs and spices.

What's origino?

Kentuk' for oregano?

I tell my grandsons that it's pronounced or - e - ga - no because it comes from Oregon. Of course they believe me, for a bit, then figure it out. Fun things grandpas do.

In that case, tell 'em it's pronounced o-reg-a-NO.

It's not an "old house" without lath and plaster walls and knob and tube wiring in the attic.

Damn, this year has started off badly.
Bunch of relatively minor things...including having my car stolen.

Yesterday, my oldest friend died.
Knew him for 55 years.

That's quite a meaningful life he lived. Sorry for your, and all humanity's, loss.

Unless it's all been replaced.

Around here, when they do finally upgrade the wiring, they leave the disconnected knob & tube in place in the basement,

so the residents can continue to hang stuff from the wires like they've done all along

Seriously......

It's not an "old house" without lath and plaster walls and knob and tube wiring in the attic.

When I began tearing into my house (c 1875) I found some modern wiring spliced into some pin & tube.

I recoil when somebody proclaims "THE BEST ... _________".

I don't shop strip malls, it's too cold in winter, I sunburn in summer, and nobody really wants to see me naked.

Don't remind me. I should have kept the old refrigerator, it was a tank. The new 'pretty' one is a total piece of crap. It's noisy, the freezer builds up ice because of an aggravating design flaw, and it holds virtually NOTHING !. The shelving and door pockets were designed by people that have no idea what size and shape food is. I can't even stand up a bottle of wine it it.
All the drawers and fancy plastic eat up valuable space.

I keep seeing service vehicles with bumper stickers that ask: "How Am I Driving?"

And I think to myself, "Hell if I know. Some apathetic DMV clerk gave you a license, I guess."

Ever wonder if missing socks:

ever come home?

get to sock heaven?

are eventually found?

eaten by the dryer or washer?

really want to be found?

become unraveled, going down the drain?

stolen by the sock bandit?


Must be bored this night!
