Is the bowl resonant?

Years ago, (many years ago), one of my met tech instructors (Norm, it was you, right?) explained that there were conversion factors. To evaluate just how much water had fallen, no matter the temperature. He then explained that water would melt snow, and at that point my math skills fell short. No matter.

Remain on hold

This is our fourth week of trying to convince a large corporation to sell us some of their product. In our case, propane, with delivery. The firm brags that they’re open, 24/7/365. And I can’t argue, because you can call them. Eventually, a live human will get involved.

The roots are planted right here

Trying to trace my family roots has given me a keen sense of place. This place. I come from people that arrived here, two centuries ago. And, on the whole, stayed close by. Yes, some went off to find work; myself included. But, we all came back. To be buried, I guess.

Showing restraint as a spectator

I have limited, specific preferences in the sports I watch on TV. For anyone that tries to follow certain sports, you need subscriptions to specialty channels.

Shadow seeker

The day was sunny and bright. Excellent chance for a near-sighted  rodent to see its shadow. Slight problem, locally, because we don’t seem to have any (I asked the oracle) nevertheless, I also checked with Twitter, and the reesults 0f shadowseeking were mixed. Some saw. Some didn’t.

random callers

I live with something anacronistic: an actual landline telephone, with a standard apparatus attached to the wire. In an age where people carry their telephone in a deep pocket, I’ve found my own way to be amused. You see, I actually answer the phone.
