Buckaroo Banzai

It could have been the rain Friday night. Or it might have been that the air temperature was too low. And the direction -- going south -- could have been an error. The wind was gusting up to 35 miles an hour. There are many variables, a deviation from the calculations in any one of which would result in failure. In the movie, Buckaroo Banzai went through a mountain and passed through the Eighth Dimension. It seemed so easy, though.

But, obviously, something went wrong because I smashed right into the rear end of the guy in front of me.

And I have finally conceded that my keys went down the trash chute. I suppose that they didn't get down the hall to the trash chute all by themselves. They could have, you know. They secreted themselves in a box when I was moving from the old house, and I didn't find them until I went to the storage facility to look for something else.

But, obviously, I threw them down the trash chute because before I threw the trash out, I had them. And after I threw out the trash, I didn't.

But I couldn't find them down in the trash compactor - dumpster. Maybe they'll turn up.

I hope they show up. Dammit, my main aggravation in life is I seem to be looking for stuff always when, "I just had it in my hand." Keys are a biggie though...find them do.

Hate it when keys decide to migrate about on their own.

Bill, I am assuming you are all right? I mean you did live beyond the mountain to make this post ;-)

Keys - we shudda never invented the darn things...except for keys to the heart, or keys to happiness, etc...

It's past my bedtime and it shows...

It's to do with getting old. They really shouldn't let us have keys after a certain age
