Got a 7-up bottle for my collection in the mail today. It took me at least ten minutes to get the bubblewrap off it. (And guess what this means? More Styrofoam peanuts and another box!) Once I finally did that, it smelled a bit like smoke, but the bottle is in great condition. Another hard thing to do was to make a new type of puzzle (at least for me.) Took me about four or five hours to make one, and I'm still not entirely pleased with how it turned out. But I sent it to the guy who makes these and puts them on his website in hopes that he might at least take a look at mine and tell me what he thinks of it. That guy never replied when I sent him two entries for the Great AEGINRST Machine. This isn't the first time people ignore me. It happens all the time. I feel like that invisible guy on the "Interesting People" Monty Python sketch. And it's cold outside, 33 F (about 0 C) at 2pm, and my left ear inside just began hurting. OK, I'm done complaining now.
