I called about the the garden. He was going to call, himself. He just got back from a trip to England. Just a fluke of a thing, but... I am hoping, when he shows up, to be in condition to chat about that. However, he said the crop planted isn't a production, but cover crop, or... some such. They won't be planting until this fall? The connection wasn't great, and it sounded as if he were busy. I did ask if the time was okay to talk, and he said yes, but I think he breaks himself to try to be polite. Anyway... So, that is arranged.
It all seems okay now. I had been a bit worried, but you never know until you know. Mountain meet molehill. Now laugh, damn it! :p
Oh, and I have decided to order a pizza for pickup. I wish they delivered, but that isn't the way it goes. All good, it'll get me off my duff. Hmm, a mostly meat pizza, one of their specialties, but... hold the Canadian bacon and green peppers and add extra peperoni and either Italian sausage or mozzarella. I'll flip a coin as I am calling. Hmm... might just pay the bit extra for the extra? Yeah, why not. It's not like I do this every day, and I think it's just a buck. Mostly meat, some mushroom, and a bit extra. Sounds good to me. It is a weekend, and a holiday? Sheesh, no one ever tells me anything. I'm firing my office manager. Since I am it, and no one else around, I'll fire myself and hire myself into a new position... Hrmm... Chief executive sounds good. A promotion for a lousy job? Hey, I'm like the government elites!
Later.

Went with their "triple threat", a pizza with some special cheese blend and three types of peperoni. Plus you can have two toppings of choice. Italian sausage and extra cheese sounded good. You never quite know what bait will get you on the hook until you take a closer look, do you? Ha! Fifteen to twenty minutes. I'd rather now:30, but... How to time it so that I'm not just standing around in the restaurant while waiting, but not have it cool off? It's a physics problem, technically, without any real resolution, only probabilities. And probabilities aren't so much probabilities but a huge collection of improbabilities stacked to look like they mean something. All but an infinitely small section of them is incorrect. Still, I like fishing and I usually don't bring home fish? Yeah. And, generally, I wouldn't get paid as much to fish, if I think that... is about to be corrected, at least on the math, and academic, side of things. Oh yes it is.
Doh! Pizza. Later!
Spent a week in England just over a decade ago. Great climate and people, but was too busy to see the places I really wanted to visit (Stonehenge, Jodrell Bank, Bletchley Park, Wold Newton). It's well worth the effort if you can make it over for a visit.
ReplyDeleteI was stationed in Holy Locke, Scotland. While not England, I think there was some reason to visit England too, and other parts of Europe. All I remember was that it was far to expensive for someone with my means. I will, probably, only travel for business reasons, and have no business, or interest in having business, in Europe. If I did go to Europe, it wouldn't be as a tourist, or businessman... only, possibly, as a survivor and then not as it would seem.
ReplyDeleteSeems rather pagan over there, to be honest. They say it's secular, but there is a strong undercurrent of some... religion, faith, spiritualism, in the people and places. Germany, Scotland, France were all a bit different, slightly different tilts, sort of. I spoke nearly flawless French and German but wouldn't debase myself with the Queen's English. :p (Would have loved to have learned Gaelic though, fell in love with the language on my first visit.) It's just under their skin. That is coming from someone who, at the time, was agnostic or Zen, can't remember exactly. Though I think I was over there a time or two. It's like they want to be Christian, but Christianity has sort of been socially, academically, politically, nearly banned... in a way. So, they seem to find whatever else for what it's worth.
