Up The Tempo

Unfortunately, the school superintendent calls my phone often with a recorded  message about any recent updates about Covid in the district.  It is a clearly scripted message with the locations and dates changed from call to call.  But…  she speaks it clearly and in a mono tone as to not confuse anyone, what this successfully does is to cause the listener to doze off before the end of the message, or at least tune it out.  Just saying, put a little life in it.

Stupid Idea

You’re the one that booked a trip outside the country during a worldwide pandemic.  Your selfish stupidity is not a cause for concern for us.  For your Covid testing will be done, when it’s done and no we won’t rush it, no matter how you try to bribe or threaten us.  We take care of the medically necessary first and you whenever.

Not Appreciated

Amazon boy was at work and he delivered to this one house that has a doorbell camera and a sign over thanking all the different delivery companies for their service, except Amazon.  So he said, bummer, not us?  A week later they happen to return to the same house and someone had added Amazon to the list with a sharpie.  Guess they watched the video.

Secret Stash

This past weekend the spouse, son and me went camping.  My spouse doesn’t go often so she borrowed my son’s extra sleeping bag.  While crawling into it that night she discovered 2 pairs of his dirty under wear still in it.  Oh the joy she must have felt.  Maybe it would have been a different outcome at my Cabin In The Woods?

No Need

One of my children is currently delivering for Amazon.  They arrived at a house that had clearly burned down the night before.  There was an officer stationed there, so my child decided to talk to them.  He suggested that perhaps the package he was supposed to deliver was smoke detectors?  My other child thought perhaps it was a fire extinguisher, since PRIME is rather fast.

Live Fifth Year

My blog has been live for five years now and well, it’s been noticed a little unlike past years, our visit number double over last year. So in the existence of a Would Be Hermit, all continues on its proper course, mostly, kind of.  China still seems to visit a lot, curious.  I guess the Great Fire Wall of China doesn’t block my radical agenda, not. So I’m hoping for a slow down over the next year, us hermits need our privacy after all.  That being said, so why do I have a blog?

Ottims #14

I called a friend up and said, “I’m having problems with mice” and asked for some advice.  They said to get some brillo pads and stuff it into their holes and that should correct the issue.  I called them back a couple days later and said, “it doesn’t work, for when I catch them they squirm around and I can’t get the brillo up their butt”.
