Surprises?

 
Things are about to happen up on the land. The fellow who is doing our road work plans to start filling in some of the big washouts and fixing up the culverts tomorrow. If all goes well he will be there tomorrow through Monday. Originally he planned to do the work a couple of weeks ago but he couldn’t get the backhoe because the driver who brings it up from Albuquerque broke his arm.

Tomorrow Andy will meet with the architect and contractor to discuss what needs to be done on the house, shed and well house. The contractor hopes to start on the well house and shed Monday. There was some talk about signing the contract for the house tomorrow, so we asked for a copy of the final plans. It turns out the architect still hasn’t put in all the of changes we made since last October. Somehow I’m not surprised.

What did surprise me was a request from the Crown Publishing Group, a division of Random House, to include the above cartoon in a book entitled A Complaint Free World. Well sure. It already has a Creative Commons license, but for non-commercial purposes. One of my mottos is “Find what you love to do and find a way to share it with others.” I love the internet for making that easy to do.

Any surprises in your life lately?

    No surprises lately (positive or negative). Quite mellow and pleasant.

  2. Rummuser says:

    Alas, no surprises. It would be nice if a nice buxom charming lady proposed to me! I can still hope I suppose.

  3. Cathy in NZ says:

    nothing springs to mind other than some comments in the positive mode of “great job you do for us…”

    this in respect of a voluntary position I am in, whereby I get to do my hobby of making craft supplies which I never really have to create anything from – other than persuade consumers to buy…giving them “out of the air” ideas on what to do with the supplies!

    Evan,
    Neutral is better than unpleasant!

    Rummuser,
    Dream on. 😀

    Cathy,
    I’ll take compliments like those any day!
