I'm going to post a picture that will fully reveal the sad state of my life.
This event delighted me to such an extent that I just had to drag out the camera, take a picture, connect the camera to the 'puter, download it, resize it, post it up on the ING site then post it here.
This is thrilling.
Are you ready???
okay

This guitar is in tune!
Notice how the tuning buttons line up in an almost straight line.
Ain't that cool?
Ain't that special?
Ain't it just sad that we've come down to this? |

You could have aligned all the tuners and said all of the strings were in tune and most of us would have never known ;) |

Whether it's ACTUALLY in tune or not, is meaningless...it COULD be!
That's all that counts.
In this heartless, snarling, sullen time when brother turns against brother and beauty hides her timorous face, we should eagerly embrace every moment where she dares to peek around the dark corners, blinking and cringing, into the light of our perception.
Ummmm...or something like that. |

I swear on MusicMike's April guitar pictures in the calendar.
If I had wanted to pull a prank on youz guys, I would like to think I could have come up with something better than this. |

Location: SE Michigan | Man if I were there I would wait until you left the room, loosen a couple of the tuner knobs and rotate them just to mess with you.
But along the lines of such cosmic events, I one had a dog who left a perfect 6 inch turd standing precisily on end on my driveway. I was dumbstruck, thought for sure it was a sign of the end of days.
But hey, I am glad your life is interesting. |
