Mission Accomplished.

It is The Day- Der Tag, as my German brethren- one of only two in the completely dependent on the clock, which this morning was slung on the Wall and displaying “4:45” though we pretty much knew we were closing in on ten, and the official opening of the Big Pink pool.

Peter, manager of the pool service company, rolled up with this edition of our annual Polish Pool buddies. Looks like Kuba is going to be our guy…Pavel was the other, seemed like a nice guy, but destined for another aquatic venue.

Yeah, it had been a crazy week. Most of Industry in town is dog beat from submitting proposals to win a multi-billion dollar Intel contract. I had to take a test- prototype- for what is coming in terms of certifying people To work the contract.

Somewhere in the rain between car and building, I lost my keyfob for building access and my backdoor key and did not know until I got home from the exam.

I passed, incidentally, which gave me a certain satisfaction, since it has been years since there was objective measurement of anything besides sitting at Willow or Front Page.

But the lost keys had to be replaced, so once more into the rain. All with the news of the latest school shooting cascading out of the radio, and then the crazy Korean dance over whether ther would be talks, or no talks, or just go straight to nuclear exchange. Things were about as certain as the surprise meeting between North and South last night.

Between that, and the continuing and disturbing stories about high-level collusion between (you fill in the blanks) and (somebody else) and no one has gone to jail.

Hahaha. Just kidding. We have know from the beginning what all this sound and fury was about.

So, re-keyed, changed to dry clothes, and with a refreshing g beverage, I walked out on the patio to watch the rain.

It was only then that I saw the pool furniture has become self-aware and used the connectivity of the Internet of Things to move to the usual places on the deck.

Maybe this will all be OK. Back in the water this afternoon!
