I've decided to publish a new post to lessen the need to scroll so much. Besides, there's been an incident.
I was, standing in the Garden of Eden. No, wait, I was kneeling in the Garden of Eden. Now, don't get me wrong, I have no delusion of ending up in the Garden of Eden and I have no intention of misleading you. Yet, there I was, kneeling in the Garden of Eden when it happened. Let me explain, this was not the Garden of Eden you're all thinking about. This little Garden of Eden is nestled, well, nestled might be the wrong word, let's say it's, ahhh?...Oh yeah, standing stark naked in the middle of the bald prairie. There's no apple tree here, actually, there aren't any trees. The up side of that is no leaves to rake in the fall, down side is digging your suv out of 14 foot snow drifts in the winter, pressure washing a foot of dust off in the spring, and repairing hail damage throughout the summer. They have protected themselves by building lower than the grade of the grid that runs by, just low enough that, if you're out for a walk, those Saskatchewan breezes that range anywhere from 10 to 140 kph, can whip the loose gravel off the grid at right about eye level. Now, I don't know about you but I'm thinking somebody misunderstands the meaning of the name.
Anyway, there I was, kneeling, in a kitchen, in a house, which was located, you guessed it... in the Garden of Eden. Some one had installed hardwood in the kitchen and had done a nice job of it, but, it was the wrong color. I know it's seldom unheard of in the Garden of Eden, but these people were unhappy. We were there to replace it, which requires the removal first. That's when it happened, I was prying a board off the floor when it released and shot up at my face, with the speed of the reflexes of a cat I spun my face around and backward at the same time, unfortunately for me the board was way faster than the reflexes of a cat. Imagine my delight when I came to and they told me I was in the Garden of Eden, imagine my dismay when they told me it was this Garden of Eden.
It has been some time since I left the Garden of Eden, and I'm sorry, I don't miss it and I'm not going back.

Have a great day
