In a hurry, so I won�t keep you long��

Tonight�s baseball game (Mac vs. my Alma Matter) has been moved up to 6 pm (from a 4pm scheduled start). It has also been moved to the nice college field west of town.

That means I had to do my after-game stuff early, and now have to head out of here.

I did make time to throw together a very quick stir-fry meal (all three types of bok choy growing in my garden, garlic, a few frozen pre-cooked shrimp, and some bottled stir-fry sauce, and a couple of microwaved frozen egg rolls) that filled me up nicely. I could have grabbed a carryout burger meal, but from start to finish the shrimp dish took less time than the trip through a restaurant�s drive thru.

I�ll leave you with this �Strange, but he swears it�s true� story from one of my coworkers:

About a month ago, he said his dishwasher crashed and burned. After purchasing a new unit, he drug the old one out to his alley. He hoped that his regular garbologist would pick it up on their weekly rounds, but it was still there two weeks later.

The sight of this piece of mechanical junk must have offended one of his neighbors. They called the Neighborhood Standards people, and they decided he was in violation of local code. They sent him a registered letter, stating that he would have to remove it immediately, or face a fine.

He noticed something in the wording of the ordinance that made him think it stated: �No electrical appliance that is not plugged in may reside outside of a dwelling.�

NOT PLUGGED IN?

He said he thinks that it was worded that way to cover those individuals who keep a refrigerator on their patio or carport.

But he had a brainstorm: he drug a heavy-duty orange extension cord from his back door to the alley, plugged the machine in (without plugging the other end into an outlet), and then called the Neighborhood Standards people to tell them that it was now properly plugged in to an outlet.

They must have decided that he was no longer in violation, because they allowed it to sit that way until this week, when he was able to talk his garbologist into hauling it away��

See? I told you it was �Strange, but he swears it�s true����
