[blparent] totally accessible timer

Thu Sep 10 04:27:18 UTC 2009

I still have my old one and Gab thinks it is the cats meow.  She plays with
it all the time.  Actually I surprised that it still talks.  As for the
memory of that stupid thing, I wouldn't trust it as far as I could kick it.

I bet the next resident wondered what kind of fabulous junk had been left.

If wisdom's ways you wisely seek, five things observe with care:  of whom 
you speak, to whom you speak, and how and when and where.
