The best of times and the worst of times
- The best of times and the worst of times can not lift the veil of weariness from my overburdened shoulders. I am rarely alone these days because some shadow of either time appears.
- After a good nights sleep I felt fantastic. I ate a hearty breakfast and went for a walk into a pleasant wood. Whilst admiring an interesting platypus in a stream, I noticed
- a Red Helleborine blooming under a Bastard Quiver tree. A long-beaked Echidna shuffled by & I heard the call of a whistling tree frog. An Orangutan rode passed on a Nubian Wild Ass
- and I instinctively sensed that the world I was observing would soon be no more. Taking a deep breath, I picked up the sweet scent of night-blooming violets...and something else.
- Cabbage? Decomposing weasel? The scent of despair? Popcorn? I cranked up the Electronic Nose on my tablet and let it rip. Kapow! I just knew it... Just knew it. Would they ever
- stop trying to improve on the peanut butter and jelly sandwich? I don't think so. I picked my Electronic Nose and thought about this for awhile.
- Then it came to me. I also needed an Electric Tongue! I would keep the Nose company and would help me in my quest for the perfect sandwich. Sadly, development of the tongue
- Was discontinued due to the Electric Tongue Company going out of business.I went to the offices at Taylor and California, only to find a parking lot. Bummer! I got back on the bus.
- The Electric Tongue Company closing left me without a job, I thought, as got on the bus back to Omaha. What would I do? What would happen to my pet tarantulas, crying for food?
- I decide to roast them. I tried a new sauce-mix. A recipe with honey and peanut, I think. Sold it to some ex-customers from ETC. One of them was vegan. But that's another story...
