Any House is a Mansion

 I just finished reading the book "The Unforgiven" This is not the one with Clint Eastwood. That was "Unforgiven". This one stared Burt Lancaster. Most of the story centers around a soddy in Texas. I know what a soddy is, but I decided to look up some photos. One of them got my attention. It's not the child in the doorway but the flowers planted on each side of the door. You have to admit that this a pretty sad looking home. Small, not much room. One window at the back, maybe the sides. Even so, the woman of the house thinks enough of it to try and give it some beauty by planting flowering bushes at the front. 

Trimming the bushes yesterday, Boxwoods.

And whoops, there was a Wasp nest inside one of the bushes. Only got one sting. Didn't know they put the nest inside of bushes.

Last Night’s Dream.

In this alternate universe, I am a Taser Technician. My job was to go and retrieve the Taser wires that were expended. Drag them back and restore them to the Taser.

In our present world, Taser wires extend to about 15”. In my other world, the wires fly out to about 150”. I saw myself crawling over bushes, through windows and around buildings. Not surprising, because these are DNA seeking Taser wires. Fire the weapon and it seeks the person. Taking the path of least resistance, it went through thorn bushes, not around them.

I have nothing to do with the firing of the Taser. I think I am in the Police and I am definitely on the bottom of that totem pole. I just have to collect all these strung out wires and stuff them back into a box for next time. Frustrating job done and then I wake up.
