Today, my 808 area code phone number has yet again been mistaken for a 1-800 number. I’ve been getting phone calls at three in the morning from people on the East Coast trying to return their shoes. Even worse, they end up wanting to speak to my supervisor because I “don’t sound professional enough.”

college. I didn’t learn
a thing. It was really
my own fault. I had
a double major

One of my insurance customers faxed over the police report from
an auto accident. Several weeks later, she called asking for information from that report.

Good morning everyboomie.
How is everyone doing?
Once again the promised and prophesied rain for our area formed in a huge mass South of us, moved in our direction until it was almost upon us, and then magically slid to the East without leaving so much as a drop.
It's a government conspiracy of gigantic proportions.......to keep me from finding any arrowheads.
I did go to the creek today. It wasn't a complete waste of energy, I lost 2 pounds....of water.
As I was making my way down to the creek, I had this narrative running through my head, "As Joe hacked his way through the dense growth with his machete, the heat and humidity was as torrid as was his love affair with hunting the rustic arrowhead."
It wasn't actually that hot, but it was extremely humid, and I really did lose a couple of pounds of water.
I didn't spend too long down there, and I didn't find any points, but I did find a small rough blade.
I WON'T be going back until it cools way down.
Have a happy Friday everybody.
