CONVERSE & BEYOND - 7 WYO SUPT. MCBRIDE SAYS HE’LL “TAKE THE HIGH ROAD” IN CONTROVERSY
During a regularly scheduled Town Council meeting on Tuesday, March16, Duke Energy’s David Grogg provided current information on the Top of the World Wind Farm project.
The Duke representative further indicated that over 500 drug tests had been administered to prospective employees, with 3 positive results. The 3 individuals tested positive before working and were not employed. Grogg reported “the roads look great” and the “concrete has tested positively”. The project is “well on track” according to Grogg and the Duke rep is confident that the company will “fully meet and not exceed” the deadline for completion. Councilman Don Kuhn expressed a concern over debris being thrown up by trucks contracted to haul for Duke. The councilman stated that his windshield suffered damage from a flying rock, and he was concerned about what would have happened had he been riding his motorcycle.
Forty-five town youngsters performed as actors and actresses, with an additional four working behind the scenes as assistant directors.

Grogg reported that with 170 individuals working on the project, 122 days have elapsed without a recordable injury. “We’re very serious about injuries,” Grogg stated. “Our type of work is unforgiving to humans.”

VERIZON OUTAGE AFFECTS ALL OF WYOMING - CREATES HAVOC According to the Bird's source Bob Kelly, spokesperson for Verizon out of Co., a switch in Aurora, CO went down due to a software glitch at apprx 2am on Thursday morning April 22nd, creating a statewide outage of the Verizon Wireless network for over 12 hours. The switch was repaired and brought back up at approximately 1:30pm MDT and was fully operational by 2:30pm MDT.
The outage affected customers from Colorado Springs to the Wyoming State Line and the entire Cowboy state. Although Kelly couldn’t say just how many customers were affected, he did state “Wyoming is mostly covered by Verizon, so assuming most people in Wyoming have cell service, that’s a lot of customers experiencing the outage.” Both texting and cell service (the
ability to make and receive calls) were affected, leaving almost every single cell phone holder in Wyoming without the ability to make or receive calls, or text messages. Some might think this isn’t a very big deal, but when you’ve given up your landline for a less expensive, more advanced way to go, its a little scary to be almost completely without communication.
Tuesday’s hail storm brought out Mother Nature’s most incredible wares... a rainbow that covered Glenrock... and a storm cloud to beat all storm clouds. No damage was reported from the brief but strong storm that passed through Glenrock on April 20th, but Glenrockians received the show of a lifetime. Photos © Amanda Smith

Councilman Kuhn asked Grogg if the Duke rep could promise that such an event would never happen in the future, and Grogg stated “I can’t promise it won’t happen again.” Grogg emphasized that Duke is using local trucking companies that operate subject to the laws and regulations of Wyoming.

SuperFoods’ Kevin Reinhart to Paleon Museum's Phone Compete in Fishing Tourney Number Used in Credit Card Scheme
by staff reporter Mark Dosa
Meat master Kevin Reinhart will be competing in the Wyoming Walleye Classic (WWC) fishing tournament on May 1 and 2. The event will be held in the Boysen Reservoir here in Wyoming. “The tournament is a catch and release in water event,” Reinhart mentioned.
There will be four WWC tournaments, followed by a championship.
one is interested in learning about walleye competition, competing in the WWC is a great way to talk to a lot of anglers and get information.”
Reinhart will be competing in his Ranger 621, equipped with a supercharged Mercury Verador outboard.
Stuart McCrary, Executive Director of the Paleon Museum here in Glenrock, revealed that the museum's fax number was somehow being accessed to make calls involving some sort of credit card scheme.
The entry fee for each team is $500, with the winning team taking down $15,000.
The illegal use of the museum's number was brought to McCrary's attention when a Glenrock resident called the Executive Director, asking him to "please stop calling and asking me if I want to reduce my credit card rates".
Results of Kevin’s exploits will be published in the May 9 edition of The Glenrock Bird.
Glenrock Wrestling Club Grapples in Douglas Fifteen members of the Glenrock Wrestling Club made their way to Douglas on Friday, April 16, and Saturday, April 17 to compete in freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling. While team members performed well individually, the team itself was honored with the Casey Uhlich Sportsmanship award. In the 7 and 8 year old division, Dustin Simmons took 5th place in the 60 pound freestyle event, with Wyatt Patzke scooping up a 3rd place award in 55 pound freestyle. Andrew Albrandt earned 6th place in 70-pound freestyle, while Casey Sebesta won 1st place in the 60-pound freestyle event. In the 9 and 10 year old division, Ian Arnold competed in both the 70 pound GrecoRoman and freestyle events, earning 2nd place honors in Greco while securing a 3rd place finish in freestyle. Aftin Matthews competed in the
A woman who identified herself as "Rachel" was making these calls, according to McCrary.
After assuring the agitated resident that the museum was not the party calling her, McCrary discovered that the museum's fax number was somehow being accessed by a third party, who then, using the number, would make these calls.
“The main thing,” Reinhart stated, “is we have a lot of good quality anglers. If any-

60 pound Greco and freestyle events, earning a 3rd place in Greco and a 5th place finish in freestyle. Noah Halsey took 4th in freestyle at 80 pounds, while Dana Moore, also at 80 pounds, finished just behind Halsey in 5th.
McCrary called his telephone provider, Qwest, who told him that software is available that allows an individual to make calls from a number not assigned to that individual. This allows the criminal to call from his phone, with the number of a different phone (in the case the museum's fax number) appearing on the receiver's phone.
McCrary called the Wyoming Attorney General to voice his concern and lodge a complaint, and is waiting for a response from the Attorney General's office.
In the 11 and 12 year old division, Joseph Taylor took 1st place in 65 pound freestyle, with Ethen Moulton earning 3rd at 70 pounds. Garrett Schwindt left with a 3rd place at 75 pounds in freestyle, while Kayla Likes, competing in the 100 pound division, earned 3rd place honors in both Greco and freestyle. The lone competitor in the 13 and 14-year-old division, Jackson Taylor, took 5th in freestyle in the 98-pound division. The Glenrock Wrestling Club hosted its own tournament on Saturday, April 24, in the Herder gym. Results of that tournament will be reported in the next issue of The Glenrock Bird. - CONGRATS!!!!

Ranch Management Trends With the disappearance of the “cookhouse” and the ready supply of ranch hands and cowboys that could be hired at will and at relatively low cost, times have changed on the typical ranch. One does not take on a new employee lightly anymore. Equipment is increasingly expensive and sophisticated. Liability, benefits, and higher quality housing are becoming part of the program, as are wages that more approximate a comparable job in town. Also, ranching in general has become more “high tech”. This has all resulted in a new trend in ranch management. It is generally referred to as “outsourcing”.
in the right place, in that a contractor, who is hired to do a job at a price and has a reputation to protect, has an incentive to get it done quickly and well so that it is possible to move on to the next job. Another advantage is that in many cases it means that a ranch does not have to carry expensive equipment that needs parts and maintenance but only gets used occasionally. Another little recognized advantage of maintaining a minimum permanent staff is that this allows one to hire high quality people and pay them well. This is because they are always busy and must use their time to best advantage and a good manager will work
the outsourcing program around the skills of the employees. Where is all this leading and what lessons are there for the future? It puts a real premium on a ranch manager who has good long term planning skills and the ability to develop the resources to bring in outside inputs to the ranch. This is contrary to the old system where the premium was placed on being able to handle everything internally which in many ways is easier for the manager albeit considerably less efficient and more expensive.
The most important lesson is that ranch owners must consider ways to simplify and focus their operations. In our minds this means taking a hard look at the ranch’s intrinsic resources with the purpose in mind of determining what is the land itself telling one about the type of operation that should take place there. Then one needs to look at the abilities of the key people involved and make hard decisions
“Call 811 11 before efore 8 ou dig.” ig.” y you
Essentially what has developed is that ranchers are hiring permanent full time employees only to the degree that they have year around work for them. This means that a ranch manager has to calculate how many employees are needed for the least laborintensive time of the year. The result is of course that, if one makes this calculation correctly, one ends up being “short handed” during the busier times of year. This is when outsourcing comes into the picture. One can outsource all manner of work these days. One can contract with people to artificially inseminate, to act as “mobile cowboys”, to build or repair fence, to provide and /or operate all manner of equipment, and to perform almost any imaginable farming task, from putting up hay to custom farming. Road maintenance and building, spring development, and backhoe work are easily contracted out as well.
Sunday April 25, 2010

As the farming and ranching business continues to change, those who will be most successful will do so because they are willing to change with the times. A strong full-time staff combined with strategic outsourcing can provide today’s farm or ranch owner with a smoother running, more cost effective operation.
b
Just a reminder, always call before you dig. These days more and more power lines are located underground, and the truth is, you don’t know where they are, but we do. So before you pick up a shovel, pick up a phone and call 811 48 hours before you dig. Whether you’re planting a tree, digging holes for fence posts or installing underground sprinklers, knowing where the power lines are buried could be a matter of life © 2010 Rocky Mountain Power
Outsourcing works out well for a number of reasons beyond the obvious one that involves allowing one to minimize permanent employees. It allows the individuals who are the contractors to specialize and buy the equipment to get things done in the quickest most efficient manner. It also places incentives
about what needs to take place on the farm or ranch. Sometimes this can take an uninvolved outsider to help, because the people on the farm or ranch are simply too close to the situation. Often there is just too much “baggage” and too many people who are invested in past decisions that might have been good ones at the time but which need to be reversed based on today’s reality.

You’ve Found and Purchased the Land…
Now What? By Peter Weber
So, you finally made the dream come true and now own 1,500 acres of riparian grazing land with trees, creeks and sloughs down along the big river. It’s probably time to take the boy fishing and shoot a pheasant or two. Hold on there… the creeks have had 450 cattle standing in them for the last 80 years and the only trout you’ve seen was in the pool below the road culvert. The only trees left are all 60 years old or older. Is that a wetland over there… you can’t be sure since they drained it in the 1940’s. And now what do you do with that old bone yard full of junk farm implements and debris? You remember seeing a pheasant running through the woodlot a couple weeks ago. Where did she go? This scenario happens more often than not. The potential exists for an outstanding recreational property, yet the habitat is damaged and there is no management in place. In fact, prior to your purchase of the property, the only wildlife and habitat management was “shoot that deer” and “clear that woodlot so we can have some more grass to graze”.
BRINGS YOU
Can it be done? Can your land experience a makeover? You bet it can! It’s time to do some stream remediation, repair the small creeks from their over-
widened state to a lush, narrow stream with overhanging cover to let grasshoppers begin plopping onto pools where hook-jawed brown trout can suck them under. It’s time to change the grazing program to allow the natural regeneration of native trees; and plant new trees to add to the aesthetic and investment value of the property. It’s time to get rid of that old junk. Remember to take pictures to show your friends, because you'll soon forget that old junkyard was ever there. Now that we’ve changed the way we manage the grass on the property, the undergrowth has started to return. So, let’s plant some small grains and some brush lines to provide food and cover for the returning pheasants. It looks like those pheasants will make it through the winter now, and the ducks are starting to feed in the food plots and rest and breed on that old wetland you’ve reestablished. But it doesn’t end there. Where’s the best place to build your home in relation to a new fishing pond and a new horse barn and pasture? What about building a fishing pond down there? How do you tie all these factors into one big picture? How do you make it happen?
All these decisions can be difficult, and sometimes it helps to have some good advice in making those decisions. Hall and Hall can provide valuable insight to property owners throughout the greater Rocky Mountain Region. We can help with concerns about managing your property: from grazing plans and farming needs and all your wildlife habitat and fisheries goals.

CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE that Duke contracted sweepers were regularly picking up debris coming off of tires, and told Grogg that “you are concerned with safety and we see that”. A conversation then took place between Mayor Minton and Grogg regarding Duke’s community involvement. Minton stated that Duke should “help with the park, shelters, or something” given that the town has “lost its vistas” due to windmill construction. Grogg responded “we’re going to be here for 20 to 25 years, so you will see our community involvement during this time.” Grogg stated that he believes a more “harmonizing atmosphere” will evolve during Duke’s tenure in Rolling Hills.

Glenrock’s Children Entertain, Impress in Pinocchio by staff reporter Mark Dosa
Glenrock kids were the centerpieces during a recent performance of the Missoula Children’s Theatre production of Pinocchio. Two performances, one at 3:00 p.m. and the second at 5:30 p.m., were held at the GIMS auditorium on Saturday, April 10. Forty-five town youngsters performed as actors and actresses, with an additional four working behind the scenes as assistant directors. Glenrock High instructor Pam Lucey provided piano accompaniment, accentuating the mood and tone of the on-stage performances. Children as young as four were involved in the one act presentation, which seemed to please both the audience and participants in equal measure. Missoula’s Pinocchio is a morality play, where the main protagonist, Pinocchio, is torn between the temptation of being bad and the responsibility of being good throughout the presentation.
Pinocchio, played by Mckenna Parkinson, transitions from wooden toy to human boy during the course of the play, and learns about personal integrity during his journey. Missoula tour actors and directors Ian Boley and Liz Hartford are skilled professionals who not only transformed the Glenrock youngsters into actors and actresses, but also helped the kids develop important life skills such as responsibility, hard work, and dedication. Eleven-year-old Alicia Powell portrayed Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio’s ‘conscience’, responsible for trying to steer the impressionable Pinocchio away from trouble while developing a sense of right and wrong within his wooden friend. Alicia’s mom Jamie, who described Alicia as “very shy”, was pleased and surprised by her daughter’s performance, with Alicia’s shyness unapparent as she went about the task of portraying Jiminy. The journey from Glenrock kid to Missoula performer was a rigorous one for all involved. “We auditioned
on Tuesday (and were given our parts),” Alicia recalled. “On Thursday, we tried not to use the script. On Friday, we couldn’t use the script.” On Saturday, the audience witnessed a presentation that had the look and feel of a production that demanded weeks, not days, of hard work and preparation. Mom Jamie says she spent about an hour every night going over lines with her daughter, but Alicia didn’t seem to have much difficulty learning her lines. The other performers appeared to have mastered their lines as well. If any glitches took place, they were either minor or adeptly handled by those acting. During the heartwarming performance, characters were reminded to “Don’t give up,” “Don’t give up hope,” “Always do your best,” and “Always let your conscience be your guide.” Anyone, young or old, would benefit from following the advice given in this wonderfully directed and performed play.
Chief Sweet Warns of Possible Phone Fraud by staff reporter Mark Dosa
Glenrock Police Chief Tom Sweet would like Glenrock residents and businesses to be aware of possible phone fraud. An unknown party requesting a donation for the Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police recently contacted a business in Lyman by phone. Sweet states, “There is currently no fundraising going on.
I want people to know this is happening.” Lyman is about 320 miles southwest of Glenrock and 25 miles east of Evanston.

Herder High School Track and Field Athletes Compete at the Tony Lehner Track Invitational by staff reporter Mark
You never know what kind of weather to expect during track season in Wyoming. At the Wheatland Invitational on April 10, the warm, breezeless conditions were responsible for more than a few sun-tanned faces. Fast-forward less than one week to the Tony Lehner Invitational on April 16, and it seemed as if winter was approaching rather than receding into the past. Cold and very windy, the pole vault event could occur only with the aid of two helpers holding each end of the bar in place.

Kyle Farley made his way onto the all time pole vault list with a height of 12 feet 3 inches, currently good for 8th place, while Worthington nudged his way onto the all time high jump list, his 6 foot jump tying him for 10th with five other jumpers.

TIPS
Kathy Blair
Many people do not understand the many benefits of drinking water for staying hydrated and healthy. About 66% of our bodyweight is water. Our muscles contain about 75% water, our brain tissue contains about 85% water, 83% of our blood is water and even our bones are about 22% water.
Studies have shown that not drinking enough water, or dehydration, can be a key contributor of headaches/ migraines and depression. Drinking water is also important to flush toxins such as uric acid, urea and lactic acid from our bodies decreasing the burden on our kidneys. Build up of these toxins can make us feel sluggish and unwell. Staying hydrated helps maintain fresh and healthy skin by removing toxins and waste from the body.
Drinking water also helps raise metabolism by maintaining good digestion of food at meal times, thereby, providing better utilization of the nutrients you consume resulting in more energy. Staying hydrated has also been shown to be important if you are trying to lose weight. When we are even slightly dehydrated, the thirst mechanism can be mistaken for hunger, causing one to eat when the body is actually craving fluid.
Keeping the body hydrated also helps regulate body temperature, especially during exercise. It is very important to replenish water loss during exercise to maintain physical performance and good health. Too much water loss increases your risk of heat exhaustion.
Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and make you feel tired. Do not use thirst as an indicator for when to drink fluids, if you wait until you are thirsty to drink, you are already dehydrated. The Institute of Medicine recommends that men consume roughly 13 cups of fluid a day (3 liters) and that women consume 9 cups or (2.2 liters).
So if you haven’t had your 9-13 cups today, grab a glass of water and drink yourself healthy!
Contact Glenrock’s Wind City Physical Therapy at 235-3910 for more healthy advice.
The high school’s Low Brass Section, Saxophone Section, Flute Section, and French Horn Section all received an Excellent score for their performances in Torrington. Congratulations to Jeremy Huck and his fine group of musicians for the awesome acoustical performances at the North Platte District Music Festival.
Scoring a 2 (Excellent) for their performances were Lisa Adams on solo tenor sax, Hayley Allington on solo flute, Jessica Grant on solo

ENZI: FEDERAL BUDGET IS SWEET AND SOUR by Phil Noble
WASHINGTON– The Senate Budget Committee began its annual rite of passage this week, marking up its Fiscal Year 2011 budget resolution — the blueprint that determines federal spending for the next fiscal year and sets a tone for the following five years. U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., offered four amendments covering a broad spectrum of issues important to Wyoming, all of which were accepted by the committee. “I was pleased to see my colleagues agree to keep taxes low, grant taxpayers better access to the IRS appeals office, ensure workplace safety, and retain Wyoming’s share of revenue from mineral rights,” said Enzi. Even with Enzi’s amendments, however, the bill failed to do enough to rein in rampant federal spending and exploding deficits and in the end, Enzi voted against the budget resolution. The resolution still passed the Budget Committee. “The budget sets the tone for how Congress spends taxpayer money over the next few years. It is essential that we listen to the American people and stop reckless and inefficient spending,” said Enzi. “This budget still spends too much, taxes too much and borrows too much.” Enzi offered four amendments that were accepted by the Budget Committee in yesterday’s session. Taxpayer access to timely appeals – Currently, Wyoming and eight other states do not have a full-time IRS appeals officer or a full-time settlement agent physically located within the state. The appeals process is the last step for taxpayers to argue the merits of their return before a Notice of Deficiency is recorded and the collection process begins. Without dedicated IRS appeals and settlement officers in the state, taxpayers must travel long distances to other jurisdictions or wait for an IRS officer to cycle through their home state to exercise their right to an appeal. This places a significant burden on low-income workers, the disabled and the elderly. Enzi’s amendment asks the IRS to redeploy existing resources to make these key officials
available on a full-time basis in every state. Net Receipts Sharing – This amendment would help restore the two-percent mineral royalties that some states lost to the federal government in a 2008 appropriations bill. The Enzi amendment would reclaim the lost revenue for the affected states assuming lawmakers could offset the cost with spending reductions elsewhere in the budget. Wyoming and other states’ share of federal mineral royalties on public domain lands should be 50 percent of what is collected. However, because of the two percent provision in the 2008 appropriations bill, states receive 49 percent with the federal share being 51. This amendment would allow Wyoming to keep it’ share, nearly $20 million, of federal mineral royalties to be put to use in Wyoming, not to pay more D.C. bureaucrats. Tax relief for small business – This amendment would protect our nation’s entrepreneurial sector (small businesses that file as sole proprietorships, partnerships, LLCs and S-corporations) from any increase in the individual income tax. U.S. entrepreneurs create between 60 and 80 percent of net new jobs, employ over half the domestic labor force, and generate more than one-half of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP). But our entrepreneurial sector is threatened by the Administrations promise to let some of the 2001 and 2003 income tax breaks expire. This amendment would preserve the lower tax rates in perpetuity and offset the cost with spending reductions elsewhere in the federal
SUPERINTENDENT CANDIDATE HILL LASHES BACK AT MCBRIDE CHEYENNE–Republican Superintendent of Public Instruction candidate Cindy Hill of Cheyenne today refuted comments made in a Cowboy State Free Press article yesterday by current Supt. Jim McBride. McBride said in that story, entitled “Crowded Superintendent of Public Instruction race could get interesting” that he challenged Hill’s qualifications by saying the junior high she has been an assistant principal at, Carey Junior High in Cheyenne, has not achieved Adequate Yearly Progress in the past 5 years. In response to Dr. McBride’s comments, Hill said, “You need to get your facts straight Jim. That is a lie.” She went on to correct McBride’s comments as follows: “Not only has Carey
budget. OSHA Workplace Safety – This amendment would restore funding to the Department of Labor’s Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). The VPP is the premier workplace safety program and has a proven record of making workplaces safer and saving taxpayer money. Yesterday’s mark up was just the first step in the annual budget process. Now that the Senate Budget Committee has approved its resolution, it will be sent to the floor for open debate. When the House and Senate both complete their respective budget resolutions, they will be reconciled in conference and sent to the respective chambers for final approval.
Junior High made AYP, our proud staff will tell you that they were the only secondary school in Laramie School District #1 to do so. Our students, parents and staff take great pride in our work and achievements. I led the school improvement team for eight years at this very student-focused and committed school.” Hill added that, “the Superintendent is charged with knowing the facts about the performance of our schools. There are two possible explanations for Dr. McBride’s attack; either Dr. McBride is playing politics and is just flat out being untruthful about this opponent, Cindy Hill, or he is so detached from the schools that he does not know how schools are performing. Both are unacceptable from a man who has been serv-
ing as Superintendent for the past five years.”
As a point of values, Hill added, “when we see schools that are successfully employing best practices, the Superintendent needs to be celebrating and applauding those successes.” Hill said she is calling upon Dr. McBride to either retract his statement or offer a public apology to the kids, parents and staff at Carey Junior High and Laramie County School District #1.
McBride’s office said he is traveling today and thus could not be reached for comment. We will have his comment when he responds.
WYO SUPT. MCBRIDE SAYS HE’LL “TAKE THE HIGH ROAD” IN CONTROVERSY by Phil Noble
CHEYENNE—When asked to respond to comments by one of his opponents in the race for the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, current Supt. Dr. Jim McBride said he was “not going to get into that.” “I’m going to take the high road,” McBride said, “and if you compare my experience to hers (Cindy Hill’s) I’m much more qualified. She’s actually
4.8” X 7”
not qualified to do the job,” McBride said. He was responding the Hill’s assertion yesterday that McBride owed her an apology or should retract statements he made earlier in the week that Hill’s Cheyenne school didn’t perform at a level that generated a certain certificate from the state Dept. of Education. Hill said her school had in fact received that recognition, called Average Yearly Progress,
and charged that McBride was either “playing politics” or was so detached from his job that he didn’t know what was going on.
McBride originally told the Cowboy State Free Press he didn’t want to go into detail, but later emailed a detailed explanation; “It appears to me that both Ms. HIll and I mispoke. There may be a valuable lesson here for both of us,” McBride said.

COWBOY CORNER Cowboy Poet Columnist TJ Casey Sore Headed Lesson They were both just cowhands, darn good buckaroos; there wasn’t a horse they wouldn’t try and none they wouldn’t shoe. They were workin’ for an outfit on up Montana way; they’d been way out in
TJ Casey is a singer/songwriter, storyteller, composer and entertainer. He was raised up on ranches in Wyoming and Montana and now teaches the "Code of the West" and poetry to students all across America. Check him out at: www.tjcasey.net.
cow camp for near a hundred days. Now, the two were workin’ partners and pretty tough to match; but time had come to go to town and find some gals to catch. So both men saddled horses
Now when they get to Dillon, there was gals, and lots of booze, and when they started gambling’ they both began to lose. Well they gambled all their money, then staggered to their horse; then rode on back to cow camp where the next day proved much worse. Well, they awoke with heads much bigger and their ears began to ring, for just outside the bunkhouse they could hear the cow boss sing:
“Get up, you mangy scoundrels, there’s work to do today!” And to be quite honest with you, them boys did dearly pay. Now, the boss weren’t easy on ‘em, and they knew that they had trouble; for instead of doin’ regular, the boss gave these boys double. So they worked their tails off all day long, and showed up late that night; why, it looked like someone pulled their cork …like they’d been into a fight. There’s a moral to this story, and it’s what my dad would say, “Don’t go wonderin’ off to town, when you’ve got to work the next day!”

I’m Just Sayin...
The Dryer Repair Man
The dryer was on the fritz, actually the dryer ran pretty well but there was a clog in the vent somewhere. Since this is an older home built into a hillside, I have no clue where, exactly the vent comes out. I think it goes down into the crawl space and out, but I’m not anxious to inspect to be certain.
The repair man arrived, thirty minutes late. It took him another ten minutes to get out of the truck. He came in and turned the dryer on, inspected outside for the vent and had as much luck in that regard as I did. “I’ll go get my blower,” he said. I watched him walk down the front staircase. He looked back and assessed how many steps there were. I could tell he was counting them. He returned about five minutes later and asked if I had an extension cord. “Long enough to go from your truck to the house?” I think the look on my face was answer enough. “OK, I’ll go get the blower,” he sighed. Five more minutes went by and he came back up the stairs. “Seems the guys took the blower out of my truck.”
I wanted to run to the bathroom and check for the stupid tattoo across my forehead. What he failed to realize is that I could see his truck bed from the window and the blower was sitting there big as life. He just didn’t think I knew what one looked like. “What’s that right there in the truck? Looks like a blower to me.” “That one’s the wrong size,” he said not wanting to admit he was too lazy to carry it up the stairs. He asked for a check for the call. I went to my purse, got out the checkbook and set it on the table.
ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS HERE!!
“Seems I don’t have any checks,” I said. “Well there’s your checkbook right there,” he replied. “Those are the wrong size,” I said as I closed the door. If you made an appointment with a dryer repairman, wouldn’t you expect that he would arrive at the house prepared to work? I’m just sayin……
