9161. TEMPTING FATE

TEMPTING FATE

You put the lid on backwards;

I'm not sure that will work. The

screwtop is a screwtop for a

reason, I'd assume. Let's make

a note of what drips out of this

jar today. There's a changeable

sky overhead, and I feel that 

something's up  -  coming our 

way, rolling in, bringing more

turpitude and crud.

-

Here's the handle to the overdone

bucket they sell in the store. The

handle came off in less than a

week  -  they make these things

now, decorated like a girl, and

they're useless otherwise. It's a

pail, and nothing more, but they

seem to overlook that fact. We

want utility and strength; they

give us worn-out and effete

instead; decorating the big

death-head on a floating

man-o-war.
