Word of the Day

Chordless: Without musical merit.

Here I sit, waiting for a call from our landscaper. He's supposed to stop by sometime today. I just want to narrow the time frame down a bit. I hate having to sit and wait while I'd rather be out and about. I finished all of the books I bought when I was in Vegas. If I want to read something now, I'll have to re-read some older books. That's fine. I like doing that but I really want to go out with HTP and we can't. Not until the landscaper either comes or calls and tells us when he's going to come.

HTP and I are going to have to do a house inspection. We need to make a list of items that the builder needs to fix before our one year warranty is kaput. Actually, here in Arizona, there is a two year warranty. Not many people know that you have two years. The builders try and keep this little known law as secret as possible. Anyway, we need to walk around the interior and exterior of the house and make a "Fix This" checklist. I've got a mental list but this mental list isn't always accessible due to old-timers' disease, Adult ADD, or just temporary brain farts.

I can hear the bells I hung outside yesterday, clanking in the wind. The wind is picking up. We're supposed to get some rain....sometime in the next few days. I have to find where I put my other windchimes though I'm not sure if I dare hang them all out. The neighbors might start complaining. Actually, the racket those bells are making (just two) might cause a few complaints. Who would guess that two ceramic bells could make so much noise?

As you can tell from the previous three paragraphs, I'm at a loss for something, anything, interesting or funny to write about. Sorry. I'll try and do better tomorrow....or maybe next week. I'm suffering from temporary writer's blochitis. At least I hope it's temporary.

Laws of Truth in Reporting

1. The closer you are to the facts of a situation, the more obvious are the errors in the news coverage.

2. The farther you are from the facts of a situation, the more you tend to believe news coverage.
