So much for the latest handyman, who did not show up this morning. Last word I heard from him was a text yesterday saying "I will most likely be there tomorrow morning." And to think I believed him.
This is like the "Peanuts" comic strip..... Lucy holds the football for Charlie Brown and says "Come on, Charlie Brown, kick the football." And Charlie doesn't want to, because each time he runs to kick that ball, Lucy lifts up the football at the very last second and poor Charlie Brown falls flat on his back. But Lucy will promise each time not to do that, but of course she does, each and every time. And Lucy laughs while Charlie Brown is flat on his back looking up at the sky and saying "Auuggghhh!"
In the words of Charlie Brown..... to all the handymen in this town who have not shown up here when they said they would: Auugggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!
Speaking of 'biting the dust' --- the dead armadillo that was in the road yesterday...... it was being torn apart by vultures this morning when we 'girls' went for our walk. Apparently, the vultures had tossed aside the beer can (I guess Bud Lite is not their brand) and those huge birds were taking turns at the armadillo. Huge, huge birds.... as we walked by them, some of them flew up into the trees, and the others just flew up to a nearby wood fence railing. They watched us walking by, as if they thought we'd take their breakfast. Not a blessed chance of that. We did, however, pick up the beer can with the clippy-thing.
