The original, eclectic purveyor of gonzo, sci-fi cow jazz, serial hobbyist, dedicated collector of useless knowledge, perhaps the greatest chinaberry hitter of all time, and proprietor of East Texas Engineering, where prnted directions are never followed and finesse is never used when force will do.

Maybe I Should Buy a Lottery Ticket

Today was a very lucky day for us.  The builder delivered our appliances to the new house this morning and began installation.   

The lucky part was what did not happen.  Since we bought the appliances through DirectBuy, we could not control the delivery schedule as we would had we bought them from a standard retailer.  So the builder was kind enough to offer to store them in his warehouse and had been doing so for for a month or more. 

Timing is everything.  The appliances arrived at our new house in two loads before 11 AM.   About 3 PM the builder called and told me that his warehouse burned shortly after noon today and destroyed most of the contents.  We missed losing our new appliances by only a few hours!

Now you understand why I am considering buying a lottery ticket.
