Any way you slice it, that's a lot of malarkey

[Lautremont]

It’s days like these, friends that you want to pull at your beard in frustration.

The wine store is closed (it’s Sunday as I write), there’s a fresh ding in the truck which nobody will admit to causing, the damn mariachi music is driving you crazy and your boots are really muddy again and you have no idea why.

It’s dry and dusty in the compound this month, which is unusual for B.C. (Nota bene: solution for cleaning boots revealed in last column.)

But we can’t let that stop us from working. If I’ve learned anything in this life it’s that you’ve got to be working all the time if you want to get by.
