A Thought derailed

 

An 18-wheeler came down our street today.  There were stacks and stacks of sod piled along its length.  Someone’s lawn was being delivered.  I expect they paid for it by the yard.

It got me to thinking about the phrase, some assembly required.  Then I wondered, in what other aspects of life do we need to put things together?

I remember in school, one of my teaches would always say, “Get it together, Zobostic.” And I’ve heard the words, Keep it together, but that was usually during a high stress situation, like a bank robbery or something.  (It wasn’t me)

I remember Humpty Dumpty, but that was more of a re-assembly thing.  And detectives have to assemble clues.  I’m not sure that adding batteries to something constitutes assembly.

Then, of course, there is this train of thought.  It began with a simple piece, an 18-wheeler.  From there we sort of wandered all over the place.  From the looks of it, it doesn’t appear that going back to the beginning and reading the directions will help anything.  This is simply one of those posts that needs a little paint, has a touch of wood rot here and there and is best ignored.  Let’s move on.
