A recent invention fired a spark, chasing my cylinder into compression. The runaway cylinder aroused the shadows of an opportunity lying against the edges of a calm anxiety and here’s what popped up!
Why don’t we invent an Electropressor? It would be wired into our incoming electrical service and would actively use available electricity to fully charge itself. It’s function would be to compress and to store compressed electricity, it would replace our emergency backup generators. A power outage would automatically trigger the Electropressor into action and it would instantly decompress and furnish us with an uninterrupted power supply for our enjoyment until the regular power source has been restored.
Some of us might even be able to show a profit by selling a couple of antique kerosene lamps that would no longer be needed.

I’m running low on attractive, and I feel the need for more,
You can scoot it all into a pile, just inside my door!
I’ll take that conventional mix, the one with a lot of root,
And add, if you think it proper, ½ a slip of cute.
Then spritz it with your spirits until it permeates the air,
So, een though none’s a lookin‘, they’ll all know when its here.
You can slider glide my attractive, with mountains of love on top,
Through chunky melts of chocolate, until you decide to stop!
‘Cause, I’ll have to swallow some attractive, to monitor my “Sincere“
So when I’m trying to listen, my words won‘t interfere.
I’ll be generous with my new attractive, I’ll share this treasured gift,
Don’t really need it for myself, it’s meant to give others a lift!
That’s all I’ll ask right now Dear Lord, I don’t know what else to do,
Everyone knows it’s not up to me, so I’ll leave it up to you!

“The two orders in front of you, yours and the two orders behind you were all for a 20 piece bucket of chicken, I’m Gonna Be Completely Out Of Chicken!”
These words came hurdling out of a smiling face, lurking behind an outstretched hand poised to rake in more money at Kentucky Fried Chicken’s Drive through window. What do you suppose he expected me to do, unload a pig as a backup? I suppose he could have changed the KFC sign temporarily to DBCGWH (Don’t Be Chicken, Go Whole Hog!)
Or, he might not of had any plan except to say “Hi, drive on by!” to those customers that have always taken fried chicken for granted.
Then I started to imagine what his manager is gong to do when he gets interrupted by the telephone with, “We have a small problem down at the store!”
It’s nigh impossible to gallop to the coop and quickly butcher more chickens when you’re running out of time, this is one instance when you should have started running when you were still in time.
A sign, “Everything ordered now will be ready for pickup in 24 hrs.” doesn‘t strike me as being very close to the proper solution either. What kind of a sign would you have made if you were the manager? Or what would you do?
“We chickened out and closed early?”

It is common knowledge that when a tree is felled, the rings in it’s trunk can be counted to tell the age of the tree. Whoops, not so fast! Not when one of those trees is a practical joker. Go ahead, tell me the age of this tree.


I don’t know where or how often this tree grew up, but I own this history slice. It appears like this practical joker grew up beside itself but allowed the loving outer rings to engulf him into the family tree. Or NOT? What do you think?

Home spun and still spinning!
Can you think of an incident more embarrassing than when you suddenly find yourself being the only one at the party that’s laughing out loud?
Yes, it’s when you suddenly find yourself in an incident where you’re the only one at the party that’s NOT laughing out loud!
