The weirdest thing happened on my round today. This guy came out of a house I cycled past. He seemed disorientated and was talking intelligibly. Then
he threw something on the street...
A LIVE CHICKEN.

wooow, scary thing! It reminds me of some demented characters you sometimes see in David Lynch's movies.

The poor chicken managed to find its composition again, it stood up and walked away. Don't know what happened after that, I didn't feel like
staying.
Those things just happen. I've often seen bizarre things that made me wonder if I'd dropped off. Like the time I saw a perfect Frank Zappa
look-a-like. I thought I was dreaming, but he showed up several times after that. I also saw him at the ZPZ concert last May.
Or that time I cycled through a used tampon. Yuck.
Or that time this guy opened the door of the house where I was supposed to deliver , wearing nothing but a pair of much too tight underpants.

We didn't take a family vacation this year, so my wife spent a week as an adult staff member at a Girl Scout camp. She just got back today.
Funny thing: in her job she's a tax director, and has twenty people reporting to her. At the camp, she was getting her orders from two
sixteen-year-olds.
And let me just say for the record: I'm glad she's home...

And? Did she like it?
I had another lucky strike at the second-hand store today. I now own tubular bells.

A mini version of the one on the right. Mine only has 8 tubes, tuned from c'' to c'''. But the overtones are amazing. Plus cycling home carrying that
was hilarious.
I also finished Gabriel Knight 2 and found many other games, such as the Gobliiins series and Grim Fandango.

It's delightful! I should make a vid!
Anyway I've decided to take up a second round for a week. It sounded OK at first, but it's in the business area and there are a number of addresses
behind gates, you know and those won't be opened until a certain time. I hate that.
Fortunately there are lots of beautiful houses too. And I deliver at De Effenaar, our music hall (where ZPZ performed and where P/O will be in a few
days).

Cleared my room looking for a book. Didn't find the book and cut my finger.

This morning some guy cycling past said "hi" to me. Not uncommon in this region, especially not at 5AM. So I said Hi back, and continued my work.
I noticed the guy kept talking. I couldn't make out what he said, so I assumed he was on the phone with someone, and carried on with my delivering. As
I turned into a side road though, I clearly heard him say:
"And what if I lick you? 100 euros."
Fortunately he didn't chase.

Tell him for 200 Euros you'll let him deliver the rest of your papers...
Or the old standby:
"Look Buddy: I don't go down to McDonalds and heckle you while you're working..."
Or the prudent response:

Aw thanks. It was a bit shocking... I've been chased before and you REALLY don't want that to happen on your newspaper round miles away from home.
I've also uploaded three tubular bell vids!

Our dishwasher died. Fortunately it was an electric one, and not a person.
There's a bunch of water still in it, which makes me suspect that the water pump burned out.
We'll see. I'll tear it apart tomorrow...
