Seriously?

So...outside our offices this morning there is one of these things...

...slowly and laboriously tearing up the sidewalk...one gigantic *SLAM* at a time.

We have no idea why.

It's incredibly loud and is actually shaking the building.

We've dubbed it "The Migraine Maker."

Well played, Tuesday.  Well played.

Still as immature as ever.

Just Because

 

"...find out where joy resides, and give it a voice

far beyond singing.  For to miss the joy is to miss all."
