A Real Stretch

 

Last Thursday we had a man come in and stretch out the bumps in our carpet.  Although I don’t really know how they got there, the bumps just somehow developed.  At first it was a simple annoyance to step over them, but as they grew, they became hurdles.  We, as well as the cat, would have to get a running start down the hall to get up and over them.

 

The carpet guy was right on time and was instantly likeable.  Although he was a talker, he wasn’t just jabbering.  He was very knowledgeable in a variety of subjects.

 

In the short time he was here, I got an education about carpet, carpet stretching, diets and recipes, how to dry foods for storge and vitamins verses minerals.   He also came off as quite knowledgeable in human behavior, broken down into age groups. 

 

After he left my mind was still buzzing just from his visit.  Then I figured, all of the things this guy encounters every day that people tend to sweep under the rug, it’s no wonder.
