Albeit a bit odd, the sky was ripe that day as we were wandering down the road to no-where. 

"Apples?" 

The question was directed at no-one in particular and as such no-one answered. "Yes, Apples, Everywhere."

That was the end of the conversation. Like a bad spy movie the secret phrase had been uttered, the business was done and everyone was free to go. And go they went.

We did not usually take this road, but since we don’t usually wander to no-where, there was no mystery why. The road itself was an old dirt trail really. Lack of use and maintenance had caused it to dwindle to two ruts wandering into the distance.

A sign appeared: "No-where 10 km"

We were getting close. 

The sun bore down on us as we trudged onward. There was no vehicle, apparently we traded it for some apples. Why no-one was in charge was anyone’s guess. I would have thought anyone-else could have done a better job. 

It was hot out. Above zero was all I knew, left my thermometer in the car. But if the local fauna was any indication with their spontaneous combustion, it was hot, very hot. It kept the walk interesting, although blazing moose stampeding at you lowered the level from interesting to something I would rather see on TV. And speaking of TVs I wasn’t sure why we had that TV in tow, seemed kinda silly.

It seemed like forever before we saw the sign: "Welcome to No-where population Z"

I was not sure what the Z meant, but I really didn’t want to ask. Wasn’t sure why we were here, but I followed the rest to the town square smack dab in the middle of town.

The town square was in fact square, perfectly, If I had my tape measure I had left in the car I would have measured, but there really was no need. In the middle of the town square the was a fountain, minus the water, seems like it had been dry for some time. Inside the fountain was a statue of a man on a horse, I think they had ordered it from sears. 259.98 if I am not mistaken. Near the fountain was a number of information plagues, on one was a map of the town with a large dot labeled "middle of No-where" with a you are here arrow. Someone was having fun.

The place looked deserted as we set up beside the fountain. We hadn’t seen a soul since we entered town. They all seemed to be standing just outside town limits, but that could have been invading forces, we ignored them.

It was my job to sit and watch them, thats what they said, pretty sure they just wanted me out of the way. No Idea why, probably could have set up at least one of those doohickeys. Didn’t look that complicated.

Oh well, soak up the sun.

I woke later with a sun burn and three crazy people standing over me. One was poking me with a stick. They had finished setting up and were ready to start. Now I knew why I was there. Standing off to one side was a bicycle attached to a generator. Apparently I was their source of power. Hopefully not their only one.

I got on the bike and peddled.

I have an answering machine. It is black. It blinks, It is full.

It is an amusing answering machine, I usually don’t check it. Sorry if you are in the habit of leaving messages. The one thing I liked about it is that it would pick up at the fourth ring, so they could not just let it ring forever. However now that my answering machine is full, people are in the habit of leaving it ring for what seems like hours. I will have to clear the messages.

This is the highest number of messages we have ever had. 62. Its a fairly high number, But I am thinking that if we somehow managed to convince everyone to hangup right after the tone, we could get even more messages. We are going for a record here. Soon when I am energetic I will listen to all 62 messages (or at least let them play) and then start the count again.

we shall see.

Yay hurray and a bottle of coke.

Welcome to the 100^th Blog spectacular

If you are expecting something spectacular, you may (will) be disappointed.

It started out as a feeble dream, I have this stupid website I never update, if only I could do something with it. I looked at the universe and noticed as I so often did before, There are a lot of bloggers out there. But, I did nothing. I did not want to just use some random piece of software to do this, I could not just join someone else, I had to write my own. And So I did. Many years later when I was more energetic.

At first the posts were few, and boring. With no method of looking back at the few and boring. Poor us. But things changed, you could look back at the few and boring. Someday, that may even become easier, If I get less lazy.

I will now post a few of the highlights.
