I was completely freaked out this evening.
Kelli was trawling through her Facebook and came across a post that claimed that the earth’s axis was in the perfect position to allow a broom to stand up straight without any support.
Of course I said that the story was crap and went off on a rant about the junk that was on social media. To make my point I went into the laundry room to get our broom, determined to prove my point.
I placed the broom on the floor and let go, expecting it to fall down, but it didn’t.
I jumped back, not believing what I was witnessing. Kelli was jumping up and down laughing hysterically, it was true.
To my amazement the broom stayed vertical.
We tried it with paint brushes, and another brush but with no success, so I know it is a joke and it’s got nothing to do with the earth, or the moon, but it was amazing that it happened
The day started ordinarily, we had to meet a person outside Zeeland at a petrol station to pick up another dresser and side table, like we need more. Sure enough we met up and transferred the furniture from their truck to ours. We headed back with our new things rattling in the back.
We had to go a visit Kelli’s mum, so I took the opportunity to start moving out some of the machines from the basement.
The first one was a disc sander. I thought this was the lightest one, I was wrong. I could not carry the thing up the stairs without serious injury. I had to dis-assemble the motor from the table and even that made my eyes water. But I managed to carry all the individual items up the stairs and into the truck.
I also came across a very old tape recorder and a reel of tape. Nobody knows what could be recorded on it, so I will see if I can get it going again
Another Lifetime to go
