And then there's...

     And the there's the guy who is so OCD/Anal-Retentive that if one little something is out of alignment it will drive him absolutely crazy until the issue is corrected.

     Dear Reader, you will recall that a neighbour to the Wayward Inn and myself rebuilt a portion of our shared fence line. When it was completed one post was still a bit wobbly and we had identified another post that would have to be replaced sometime in the future. Personally, I was happy with the fence the way it was because if the damn thing blew down again I was going to contract a masonry company to build a six foot cinder brick wall. I wouldn't even care if the two bordering neighbours pitched in on the cost.

     The Jr. Loin Fruit and I helped out Sensei with hauling a load of large rocks for his serenity garden. After returning to the Wayward Inn we (my Better Half, the Onion, the Jr. Loin Fruit and myself) all went on an adventure taking in the Goats on the Roof, Riptide Minigolf and the Sand Sculpture competition. On our return I saw that the OCD neighbour has topped the fence posts he planted yesterday to the precise height as all the rest. The trimmed portion from the first post is laying on our back lawn. I guess he figures that I need it as it came off of the post I paid for. The entire second post is laying on top of our planter bed. He returned it after ripping it out of the ground and replacing it with the new one.

     There was one more function to attend on this day. A bbq. That's right. For supper, my Lobster and I attended a bbq for the volunteers for a cat rescue society. Burgers, hot dogs, salmon, side salads, beer. It was all good.

     Hey, have you heard of Dennis Oland? He's the heir to the Oland breweries located on the Right Coast of the Great White North. Four years ago someone bludgeoned Mr. Oland Sr. inflicting forty-five sharp and blunt force defensive wounds. The most likely weapon was a roofers hammer with a hatchet end. When arrested Dennis Oland did have blood droplets on his pants that were genetically matched to his father's DNA and he could not accurately account for the time when the attack occurred. Oland Jr. was convicted at his first trial but the judgement was overturned on appeal. The second trial was by judge alone. He acquitted Oland Jr. on the grounds that the preponderance of the evidence was circumstantial in nature. Oland is a lucky man because the judge is obviously blind.

     The weekend was busy at the Wayward Inn. Our chest freezer was pushing 30+ years old and the door seal crapped out. We purchased a new one from Costco and the old one was hauled away. We took in a walk in the alpine meadows which put us in touch with nature.

     Yesterday I saw the new Regional District office that is being built. It's a pretty nice building but with all new office buildings once everyone moves in they'll say that there isn't enough room. Years ago, about 1985, the new Air Command building was built.  Four stories up of glass and steel (rumour has it there are four stories underground too) and there isn't enough space.

     We are cat sitting for a friend. Not my call. We went to the local legion with Elric the Stalwart. We three had no luck. My Better Half came close to winning and I refilled my membership application. Its about time.
