ReplyDeleteDarn Joe, when do you have time to sleep?
ReplyDeleteWell, Fred, I must confess to having two super-powers.
DeleteOne is the ability to lose 10mm and 13mm wrenches. I don't really lose them so much as tunnel them to a parallel universe. While those wrenches disappear from my tool box they are replaced with 12 and 14mm wrenches. I am sure the opposite is happening to some poor guy one universe away.
My other super-power is the ability to sleep any time I am within three feet of a recliner or sofa. I don't even need to be in it or on it.
I am humble about these gifts. I rarely write about them. It is not something I aspired to or worked for. Rather, it is a gift from above.
I have long said that there are parallel universes, where things like tools and carkeys go to.
