Finished Object

I got to work bright and early this morning, and one of my coworkers who is also a Cowboys fan walks up to me and says, "Please pray for my Cowboys!"  

I laughed and said, ".....there really aren't any words...."  

We chatted a minute more, and I asked him, "Do you think Jadeveon Clowney will make a difference?"  On the defense, for those of you who don't follow football.  My coworker didn't even know they'd signed him, so I said, "Yep, Jerry signed him last Monday."  

My coworker said, "Isn't he a bit past his prime?"  And I replied, "You know who wasn't past his prime?  MICAH PARSONS!"  And with that mic drop, I walked on to my work area and began my day. 

On a similar note, it would seem that we are down a security guard.  We'd always had the one at the gate, but for this last year, HRH* had hired one to drive around the parking lot all day.  Now, our parking lot isn't much bigger than a couple of football fields, so we were wondering why we needed someone to patrol it, but there he was.  He'd drive around all day long, then drive over to the distribution center and drive around there for a while...

I noticed last week I hadn't seen him all week, so I guess his contract ran out and they declined to renew it.  I asked a couple of the other brazers if they'd seen him and they hadn't either.  One of them told me, "They said she was wasting a lot of money"  -- meaning HRH.  I don't know, but I wonder if that's why the fired her.  I replied, "Just because she's afraid of her own shadow doesn't mean the rest of us have to live that way, too."  

I expect the ones checking lunch boxes will be the next to go once their contract expires.  

In knitting news, I finished this hat while I was watching Charlie Kirk's memorial yesterday. 

Then, instead of casting on a new one, I picked this WIP up and worked on it some more. 

Once the service was over, I switched over to Prime and watched a documentary on Flat Earthers while casting on a new charity hat. 

It's called Behind The Curve.  The documentary, not the hat.  The hat is Neon Stripe.  Be that as it may, I found the documentary to be quite interesting -- especially the experiments they did to try to prove the earth is flat, but kept proving it wasn't instead.  

My question is why?  I mean, why would every government on the face of the earth since the ancient Greeks and Phoenicians make up a lie that the earth is a globe if it isn't?  How would they possibly benefit from that?  What's in it for them that would make all that time and expense worth it?  

Speaking of conspiracy theories, have you heard the latest?  Apparently, Melania Trump is really Princess Diana.  Seriously, where do they come up with this stuff?  

Moving right along, we finally got some rain last night, which made the arrival of my new boots quite timely indeed. 

They're really comfortable, and sparkly.  Alas, too sparkly, because I don't want to get them muddy.  Eh, I will eventually.  By the way, if you're into such things, this is how many ant bites I got on my feet over the weekend. 

I really, really don't like fire ants.  Have I ever mentioned that?
