    Minor jones

    I just ordered a kilt belt from Stillwater kilts about 10 minutes ago and it's not here yet. I know they're on vacation but I would have thought the warp squirrels could handle a simple belt order without supervision. My Nightstalker sporran just arrived out of the blue with a note reminding me to pay for it after I decided that I needed one.

    Maybe Jerry's crack team of warp squirrels is slacking off now that the boss is out of town.

    It's solar flares. It makes it impossible to maintain the temporal rift that the squirrels use to transport goods for Jerry. That's why he scheduled vacation time when he did.

    It was on the Discovery Channel.

    Seriously.

    No really.

    I'll gladly volunteer to help you out, but--fair warning-- I'll probably lose all momentum when I hit the first pub. I'll give it a shot though.

    If nothing else I'll make sure they don't get to Wyoming!

    While I was warming up with a few pints at home my sensors detected an anomaly in the space/time continuim, indicating the warp squirrels are active again. IOW I got an e-mail that my order was processed for shipping. So I'll be on the porch waiting to catch a glimpse of the warp squirrels. How big are those critters anyhoo?

    It doesn't matter how big they are, they're WAY to fast to see.
    One minute-nothing, the next-kilt.
