- The only thing worse than having to do the same slow, manual, and meticulous process is having to do that process 593 times.
- The only thing worse than that is realizing you’ll have to do it twice, with more to come in the future.
- Work made a rather large decision this week that impacts everyone. Some were sullen about it, some vocal and unhappy. It was remarked that I seemed to be taking it in stride. All I could reply was “Semper Gumby“.
- Apparently “If there’s nothing I can do about it, there’s no reason to get wrapped around the axle about it.” wasn’t the answer folks were looking for.
- Last night, I drove from Louisville to Chattanooga. It’s a beautiful drive, and for once, everyone seemed to actually want to get to their destination instead of meandering down our nation’s highways.
- The most memorable part of the trip, to me, was when I was driving into Tennessee. At that part of the highway, you’re driving up the side of a tall hill/low mountain. Since I drive an F-150 and not a 911, I got over into the right lane with the semi’s and we made our way up the hill. We were still doing the speed limit or maybe a little faster. About halfway up the hill, along comes sumdood in a nice, shiny, European sports sedan. He sees us trundling up the incline, flashes his brights at us, whips over into the left land, and floors it. He then proceeds to pass us at a rather fast clip. Just as he whips back into the right line directly in front of the lead semi, a burst of blue flashing light erupts from the side of the road just in front of all of us. The last I saw of the gentleman was a Tennessee state trooper and him having a conversation on the side of the road at the top of the hill.
- Some things will just make make your day.
- I finished the day listening to OldNFO, LawDog, and BRM tell tales. There are worse things in life.
- When will I ever learn? Do not start reading the final 2/3 of a novella by one of your favorite authors and then try to get to sleep.

/ June 30, 2017Great to see you, and you contributed a story or two yourself. 🙂 Semper Gumby IS the way to go, if one wants to keep their sanity…

/ June 30, 2017For the ‘uninitiated’ Semper Gumby means ‘always flexible’ – been using that version for almost 30 years. And that frequently results in ‘always getting bent over’ – I can’t absolutely claim credit for that part but I’m pretty close…………..
