Crumby’s Rainfall Update

To update or not to update, that is the question. Whether tis nobler to rush out to the gauge at this very nonce and thereby discover a paltry total, or to cower here in the comfortable laboratory, until yet more rain accumulates. Which is nobler?

Many moons ago I happened to have a checking account at a bank in Laredo. In order to set up a checking account at a bank in Laredo, or anywhere else, maybe, one must present oneself at the bank, sit awhile in the lobby, and then after awhile, one is directed to a desk. The particular desk I got directed to featured a name plate on it. Part of the name plate spelled, Ofelia, which was the familiar name of the pretty yet efficient young lady escorting me to the desk in the first place.

In those days I may have been clinging to one or another of the wicked Christian tendencies I learned as a child, or, at the least, I was confused by those tendencies and they affected my social skills.

Hold it! You must be the famous Ophelia. How’s Hamlet doing?

Que? Uh! What?

Hamlet. Aren’t you Hamlet’s girlfriend?

What are you talking about?

You know, Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark.

Well, Ofelia was not only pretty, but efficient; her efficiency indicated by an arm waving signal that produced the arrival of a large nicely dressed gentleman.

Do we have a problem here?

I need to set up a checking account, but I may be having some trouble communicating. I may be slightly disoriented.

Ha! Eventually, I got my checking account all set up, despite Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark.

Rayetta! Are you fixing to do the grape leaf folders?

Yes Crumby. However, I am also fixing to set it up under its own subtopic. So skat.

All righty then.
