Here’s some new information. Have you seen the “sheds” they are selling these days? I have. You can call them sheds, but they are more like summer cabins and nicer than the houses I was raised in. Some have porches and all can be wired and plumbed to your specifications. Plus, the price fully assembled is barely more than you could buy the lumber at Home Depot.
I learned that only 1% of all known bacteria can be cultured in a lab. I would think that includes most of the known strains that are virulent or useful to man. That is still a lot of uncovered territory. For the record, I was researching for any new publications on diatoms when I discovered this fact. Diatoms have a true cell nucleus that, I’m given to understand, bacteria don’t. Chances are I’ll keep my camera for a while before switching to the cell phone. The cell phone pix, until further notice, must be sent one by one by email, a laborious task taking up to one minute each. I’m learning the technology as I go along but I pity those who never grew up in a world where such things were basically instant. Like ten years ago.
This morning, I did a ruthless review of past videos. I’ll explain. I’ve stated I’ll attend the Mardi Gras Karaoke, then found out they, being a casino, offer valuable prizes to the winner. This changes everything. Sure, the idea is to have fun and meet women, but now also to win. The videos show myself and others, so as to make comparisons.
To win, you gotta deliver the wow. Since I’ll be up against professionals, I have to focus on my best, discard the rest. The videos show that my decades of bass playing have given me a strong stage personality (in addition to my already strong personality, sort of). I have a tendency to stay up close to the audience and interact with the women. Most of the other singers make it too obvious they are singing Karaoke, if you follow. Face to the screen type of thing.
My top tunes are a set of dynamite Johnny Cash imitations, particularly that infrequent low E note at the bottom of my range. Follow that by my non-standard set list, including Jim Stafford and Nancy Sinatra. These are nothing new to us, but to the competition, I’ll be coming from out of nowhere. Last, there is stage rapport and I always let my audience, my wonderful beautiful audience, decide for themselves who’s got the most of that, love you all.
[Author's note: Oh, I heard that snarky comment, and all I can say is you know more than I ever will about being nice until you think you’ve got what you want. Only difference, Toots, is I never turn on my audience or lie to them. And unlike you, I can keep the same audience interested. For years on end. You fooled me. I thought you wanted to learn new things, talk about different subjects. You only wanted somebody to listen to you whine all day.]
Here's a link to the best shed manufacturer I could find on-line in Florida today. Southern Sheds of Florida gets a mention today because their site is better than the others I found. You see, Southern Shed tells you the price, where the others "need more information" so they can sic a salesbastard on you, upsell you to something you didn't really want.
The old leave your name and number and we'll call you back. After we've done a credit and background check and put you on our telemarketing list. Sites with no prices that don't get my business are: Ken's Portable Buildings, Gulf Coast Storage Sheds, and Superior Sheds. If you can't tell people your price up front, you're doing something wrong. Dont' give us the "it depends" routine. We know of at least one place where that isn't true.
