Whooo...fun...And what do you make of this crazy weather that's been
blowing around? I worry when it makes travel particulary treacherous.
After all, we are dependant on air currents...

Well, the idea dates to back when my consort was hosed by the street-
sweeping company he used to work for...They had decided to deduct an
entire paycheck because of hours he supposedly "wasn't working". Their
way of tracking when he was working was to monitor hours that the
truck was powered on; and he would turn the truck off while he took
the "weed blower" to blow the ac***ulated junk from corners that the
brushes wouldn't reach. He'd turn the truck off so that he wouldn't
waste fuel. They accused him of not working during those hours (truck
was powered down and device not logging work hours) and witheld the
whole check. Naturally, we didn't even know about this flaming device
until AFTER the fact. It was then recommended to me that I take all
three children (the youngest just barely hatched) and camp out in
their office until they gave us the check, because what they did was
WRONG. Anyway...that's where I got the idea for camping out at the ISP
office.

There is no offense taken...and there's no offense given where none is
taken.
When I had said "a lesser being around to scratch...", and you said
"Scratch, you said, not bite...", I just saw a chance to have a little
fun. We griffins love a good joke. One thing I'm pleased that I have
in common with you.
