* * * * * The clock that came in from the cold The other day, my grandfather clock [1] wasn't chiming correctly, so I took off the top portion (I think it's called a “hood”) and placed on a near-by chair. That was not a good idea as a few moments later, as I had my nose buried in the internals of the clock, I heard a horrible crash as the hood fell off the chair and was damaged. Sigh. Bunny and I dropped off the hood at Josef & Joseph [2] for rapair. Back home, Bunny found a box, cut the side off of it, and placed it on the clock to keep the dust out of the clockworks. [Image of a grandfather clock with a box acting as the hood to keep the dust out] Eh, it's twenty to six, ya hoser. [3] Maybe it's just me, but it looks like it's visiting from Canada.
