Scratching to Escape: Extreme Accuracy

In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Extreme Accuracy

Below is a photo of my rain gauge. My wife bought it a few years ago, and it had better markings, but the sun faded them into oblivion. Not wanting to throw away my favorite rain gauge, I pulled out my Sharpie, measured for the markings, and turned it into the most accurate rain gauge ever made. I know some may disagree, and I understand their concern of what appears as exaggeration, but I can assure you my skills allow me to use the markings to accurately measure accumulated rainfall down to the thousands of an inch. Of course I don't record the rainfall, since my memory is so well developed I can tell you the exact amount for any day up to two days ago.
