Here’s a smattering of items, none of which are interesting enough to warrant a separate post;
A) Old Guy at the Guitar Center II; while poking at overpriced classical guitars the other day, I struck up a conversation with an even older guy who hadn’t realized yet that he was invisible, too. So I stepped him from the $299 laminate- body Breedlove that he was looking at ( sounded damned good, too) to an $849 solid-top-and-sides model ( sounded way better, and will only get even better with time ). So I guess I can work there too, when I want to. Told him to carry it up to one of the Associates and ask if they might be able to find a case. Good deed accomplished, I was musing as to what their commission structure might be as I approached my vehicle… and there was a twenty-dollar bill lying on the ground beside the driver’s door. Not much of a percentage overall, but not bad for an invisible salesman. Damned synchronicity again…
B) Deconstruction Issues… Good news and bad news. Good news…the contractors have changed up the game plan completely, and I don’t have to go stay at the dormitory after all. They’ve decided to take a big shortcut… Bad news… my brother-in-law’s house burned down. Just property damage, no fatalities or injuries. Still…synchronicity…it’s kind of like wandering through a theme park, but you can’t quite figure out what the damned theme is. ( Ok, that’s probably just me…or maybe the sign that said TimeLine Adventureland might have been a clue…)
C) Comments…Good to hear from Glenn on the tropical paradise thing…almost makes me want to get out of the leaf pile…but naah, I’ve got no skin pigment anyway…I’d have to carry a quart of SPF 500 around all day. And Girlie, your leaves are all ready. Mostly yellows, with a few blazing red mixed in for contrast. Cider’s iced, with a splash of Captain Morgan, if you please…

So are you sure older guy knew you did not work there?!
If the security tape was played at the end of the day can you be sure that you would be on it?:)
“Changed up the game plan completely…” “They’ve decided to take a big shortcut…”
You’re not kidding you’ve got Deconstruction Issues.
Good thing as I hear the cost of the 500 has doubled in the last year.
Thank’s Bud. Sounds perfect.
OMG. I’m not at all sure I’d be on the tape. And that explains the check stubs in the mail! I thought I had won some sort of contest. Apparently I have expired, and was just barely Catholic enough to rocket myself into a Purgatory of my own design. So I have to listen to 14-yr.-olds hacking ” Crazy Train” for the next thousand years or so. Oh well…guess I’d better get started on that Line 6 endcap.
