Urgent Alert
Keep an eye out for suspicious man in orange shirt picking up pecans. No underwear and pants below his knees.
I should point out that this does not describe our Vietnamese lady who diligently picked up pecans all over the neighborhood this season. And I might add that I doubt this guy is going to be able to outrun the cops.
Can't remember which holiday we are celebrating today, but grateful that I don't have to go to work today. Oh, wait! Bwahhaahaa!
Following up on the clock story from last Wednesday; what is billed as an 8 day clock - as in needs winding every 8 days - is turning out to be more nearly a 4 day clock. Why, yes. It does need cleaning.
And I finally was able to find a key with a very skinny barrel - small enough to fit the tiny hole that allows the clock to be adjusted for fast/slow time-keeping. Previously losing about 5 minutes a day (see cleaning, above) I am slowly bringing it into a more accurate "beat." It's a slow process. You make tiny adjustments and then wait a half-day or more to see what difference you have made.
I mentioned that a chime every 15 minutes has made me acutely conscious of the passing of time; trying to regulate the clock has made me paranoid about the accuracy of all the clocks in the house. I keep checking them in relation to the time on my phone (which is accurate to the micro-second) and find them all wanting. Or over-achieving.
We could discuss discuss the weather over the past week, but hey - a 19 to 82 degree swing is just so Texas, there's not much else to say about it.
Neighboring Leander Police Department used Facebook recently to “introduce” followers to a “red and white sign that says ‘STOP' and helpfully defines the word “stop” as to “cease all movement.”
