Are We Ever Ready?

we try to plan ahead, make allowances, save for rainy days (does it EVER rain in california?), and well you know what I am saying. Still, then it happens and it catches us so not ready----today it happened to me----had done the laundry, had a modicum of success playing on my blog page and then WHAM there it was---??? the dreaded "CHANGE MOUSE BATTERIES" sign----totally killed my mood---so underlined how weak and feeble we really are------in a single micro-second ---reduced to being a slave to our technology!!!----Needless to say I immediately, and obediently (like all well trained house slaves (not to be confused with the field laborers), changed the batteries.----I think this calls for a second cold beer------(not to mention add buy more batteries to the grocery list)
