REMEMBER THE PLAN AHEAD POSTER

with the D located on the second line because of no room? Well, for the most part, that is I.

I'm the antithesis of a former colleague who lived in Grand Tower, IL, and planted bamboo in hopes of attracting a panda or two. I don't guess he really thought it would work, but it made for a funny story.

But I'm in need of humor today. I'm home with a broken door on my refrigerator waiting for a guy to pick up a gas grill I'm giving away. I'm not on the golf course. There's one little white cloud in the sky. I have a Malibu light that's burned out and I have the replacement but I can't figure out how to take out the old burned out light on a swivel.

Plus one neighbor across the street is getting a new roof, just like neighbors to the east and west. All at the same time. One of my next door neighbors has some company called Eco-Blasting removing the stupid paint he put on his stupid driveway. Why is it stupid? Paint on driveways in Arizona doesn't last.

Why does this bother me? The noise! The cacophony of pounding coupled with a constant loud buzz is dishumoring me.

I have a cactus garden, but it doesn't bring in road runners. Too bad. At least they're quiet for the most part.
