Thoughts From the White Board - February 24

Been out burning twigs and small branches all afternoon in the fire pit, but it got dark and I decided to call it a night.  Got a letter from the city asking us to remove the pile of dead tree branches from the driveway (with the added incentive of a $125 fine in 15 days if we don't - what kind of world do we live in when asking "please" isn't even an option?).  No better way to get rid of the dead wood than to have a good all-day-long fire!  It was fun, and good exercise.

What’s with this sudden choice of disorders we get right now? When I was a kid, we just had crazy people, that’s it, just crazy people. - Ellen DeGeneres

Playing with fire is bad for those who burn themselves.  For the rest of us, it is a very great pleasure. - Author Unknown

To poke a wood fire is more solid enjoyment than almost anything else in the world. - Charles Dudley Warner

Maybe if I look around the house, I might have an appliance that will allow me to stop time.  If not, I gotta get a microwave like this.  Either that, or go watch Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure again.  Excellent!

    I hope that microwave pic wasn't Photoshopped. I want it to be real. That is too cool.

  2. Actually, Mr. Wong was never a boyscout, nor was his alter-ego, the "Man of Mystery" (aka The Author).
