November 17th was the peak for these meteor showers. Too bad the night came and went and I only now remembered.

As I work on projects, I keep coming across unfinished things from years ago. This is a piece of one such, so I decided to use it in a changed form. Maybe I'll do more of these as they show up.

It is a form of recylcing, after all, something that the sustainability people keep talk about, on and on. Save a little hot air.

This piece came about because of the failure of some people I work with to stick to their convictions and take responsibility for their actions.

Do the Dishes

7 inches wide x 7 inches high

I had been doing the dishes once a week on Tuesdays, but the schedule has gone off track and I don't know where it is anymore. And the dishes don't go anywhere. They just wait and wait. Seems, too, that lately, right after I do them, they are all back in the sink. How do they do that?!

I wonder if Santa will ever bring me a dishwasher.

Who Moved Me?

collage

I went to vote at my local town hall, as I have done for the last decade or so. We are a small town, everyone at least recognizes each other, if isn't downright related. Hellos all around. They even know me, or more accurately, they know where I live. So, we look for me in the election book, as we always do. No Ren. Not in any book, not under any spelling of any name in my name. Huh. I came back several hours later to find that, according to the Board of Elections, I had moved. To South Carolina. They even had a street address.

Surprised me and everyone else. So I had to vote via an affidavit ballot, swear that I am who I have always been, and have it witnessed by one of the ladies, for whom this was a first. I came home and googled myself, of course, to see if there is any record of me being in two places at once. Nope.

So here is my request: If any of you get any questions about me, please send them right to me here. I will assure them that I haven't gone anywhere. Thank you.
