2013 - Day 233/132 - Wednesday...

Here is a little known fact about a member of the Locksmith Union:  Would you have ever guessed that the King of France and locksmithing have something in common? Louis XVI, King of France from 1774-1792 and husband of Marie Antoinette, was an amateur locksmith.

He loved making locks and mechanical things and enjoyed spending time in the royal locksmith workshop assisted by the local locksmith. Fearing that the revolution would not be kind to him he built his own iron security chest to store papers. The chest could only be opened by somebody who knew the secret of the lock.

Well the reason I bring this up is, I have a property on the market and agents showing the home keep locking the door between the garage and the house. This is the second time this has happened, and now the occupant will not return our phone calls and texts to try and get him into the house.  It seems like he would a) think he should carry a key, b) tape a sign over that lock that says DO NOT LOCK or c) go check in to the Howard Johnson's and we will worry about this tomorrow.

Whatever...

Today was a nice day for checking out clouds on the way home from work.  I could have taken hundreds of photos, they were really pretty, but I settled for seven, and culled them all down to this one.  The road in front of the house is one of my favorites for cloud photos, and I like the openness of the countryside.  Nice!

I had a very productive meeting at the Board today, so that was a great thing.  Got a lot of office work to get accomplished in the morning and then a couple appointments in the afternoon.  In the middle of the day it will be time to deliver Meals-On-Wheels, so that will be fun!  Friday we are having an office luncheon and then I head out to Chicago on Saturday.  It is getting to be that time of year!

Deeds, Actions, Changes, LET ME IN, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
