Worth the paper it's printed on

 I was up around the usual time, and had time to pack two boxes, of 17 things each, and get those and all the other boxes onto the bike trailer and got them to FedEx and the post office. 

I got some groceries at 99 Ranch a little package of chicken at H Mart which I ate sitting on the little ledge in front of the building, in time-honored fashion. 

I'd called Ken from FedEx (it's relatively quiet in there and up near the front window, I'm not near anyone) and he answered, so he's alive. I asked if he's coming by tonight and he said Yes and I said "See you then!" and that was it. Of course his word is worth the paper it's printed on and he says plenty of things he doesn't follow through on so we'll see. 

Oh, and still no reply back from Pat, "Mr. Logic", on the Big Island. I think he's still trying to comprehend the idea that our disagreeing on support or being against "israel" could actually not be a logical fallacy but a simple difference of opinion. 

Oh, and while out and about, I found a phone. It was lying on Junction Avenue just north of Brokaw. I had to park the bike, run across the road and grab it on the run like those kids who grab errant balls at tennis matches, then run back to my bike. 

I got back here and put things away and tried to figure out the phone. The thing is, these phones tend to have irreplaceable photos on them and such things. I figured out the owner was employed by Terminix, OK is there a Terminix near there? Yep, just in from the corner. So I rode back with it and since no one was there, hung it, in a bag, from the door handle. It had been run over once, but if I'd left it, it would have been turned into dust by the traffic.  And it was getting messages, too, about the owner's Feit Electric door camera and such things. So he'll get his phone back, in condition to at least get the photos and data off of it. 

Update: Ken came by and I got my check for this week and last week, and I made some noise about "coming around to your way of thinking and keeping working here until I'm 67 so you can sign another lease" haha. And it started raining overnight and it's good and wet out there so I'm glad I put the cell phone in a plastic bag so it will be dry when the Terminix staff come to work in the morning and find it.
