SOMETHING ALWAYS NEEDS FIXING

Sunday, September 09, 2007

Something always needs fixing—or as they would say back in Oklahoma, “Somethin’ always needs fixin’.” If you are a home owner, you know this is true. Fix one thing and something else breaks.

Early in the morning I have to take my pool cleaner in to get it repaired. It’s broken again. It shouldn’t be—but it is. The part that is broken is plastic and plastic breaks. It just does. I think it is under warranty by a few days but they may show me the “fine print” that says, “No” or “No way!”

Tomorrow—or maybe later today, it will be something else. My stuff is not old (I’m old, but my stuff is fairly new, as stuff goes) but stuff is on a schedule to break and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Tuesday I will get up early and put our flag out in remembrance of 9/11 and how some idiots broke our country. As I said, some things just naturally break, but we shouldn’t be going around breaking stuff—especially other people’s stuff.

Yes, stuff breaks, but I’m glad to live in a country where we have so much stuff to fix. America is great!
