At risk of circling aimlessly
Another conspiracy theory: the upcoming problem with certain GPS receivers is a scheme to keep me close to home. I happened across an article today, which points out that the there’s a date approaching (April 09. 2019) where the “week rollover” might not happen. For devices with older firmware, the 1024th week is like a reset. Some of us will come away with our virtual north intact. Others: if you see a friend driving in aimless circles, intervene.
I’m not going to panic, prematurely. Until I’ve read the user notes on certain sites (Garmin, among others), I will go blindly forward. Besides, the ability to drive in aimless circles is innate. And real men don’t ask directions.
For the first time in months, I’m able to watch TV. In a literal sense: my eye now can see what is on the screen, which means that I’m catching up on some prime time programming. Perhaps I should have remained clear of the morass.
And the cuckoo is active again, following an induced coma. If you don’t wind the clock, or if you “stop” the pendulum, silence reigns. I can fade back into my timeless mode, where daylight follows darkness. Although, with our preferred curling series about to begin, in a matter of hours, the clock might be needed. How about this as a plan. Once the trophy has been awarded, I nudge the pendulum. The cuckoo won’t give me away.
Call in the master detectives. In Port Union, NL a major vodka distiller is missing thirty thousand litres of water. Good water, from an iceberg. They can’t find a leak, and evaporation has been discounted, so now the company wants to know the how (and the why). Look for someone who turns water into wine, or vodka.
