Phoneless

We currently have no telephone service, so if you want to talk to us, you’ll have to send an e-mail.

In other news I got a call today (before we lost service) from Bankers Life and Casualty Company. They found my resume on Monster.com and invited me to an open interview they’re having tomorrow evening at six. By the looks of their website, they’re hiring insurance salesmen. Sigh. So anyway, that’s where I’ll be tomorrow evening.

Then I’ll come home and make an attempt at caramel apples to take to Friday’s “warehouse staff luncheon.” The theme is “food on a stick.” If the recipe works, I’ll post it.

Graffiti

Public bathroom graffiti intrigues me. I’m not the only one. The graffiti in women’s restrooms are typically better, I hear, but I don’t get to see much of it.

I’m not sure why people feel compelled to scrawl on bathroom walls. There are lots of theories, and more than one post-graduate has attempted to study the phenomenon. In a public restroom at a gas station, the owners had hung a sheet of butcher paper titled, “Write Here!” The sheet of paper was covered in scrawling, but the bathroom walls were clean. A novel idea.

Political graffiti seems to be common these days. Somewhere in the plains, I saw a bit of graffiti that seemed to say it all.

“John Cary
is a
mother******”

Someone had inserted “smart” just before “mother”.

I fear for what’s left of our county.

Geek Need

My baby is gone again.

He has delivered the Miata to Nashville, and now he’s on his way up to Chicago in a motorhome.

Unfortunately, he left me with no sound on my computer and a keyboard that doesn’t work on his computer. I wanted to watch the debate tonight from VOA.com, so i copied and pasted a V, then an O, then an A into Berck’s Google taskbar. That took me to the site so I could watch and listen to the debate.

I’m in better shape than the last time he left. I had no Internet on my computer, and no sound on his. Via phone, we were able to get the sound controls on his computer fixed and the network hub plugged back up.

I need my geek back.
