Infamy Was Not Enough

"Clock" from public merchant site. Time is the enemy of us all.-Shelob

 [shrill beeping noise on laptop]

[over laptop mic] No, honey--it's my laptop! [laptop swivels in place, Herr D's heart rate quickens] Uh, no, honey; it's my blogging partner again. [sound of sitting down, laptop swivels back] [Herr D typing into chatbox] Shelob? Yes.

Why the alarm? You had planned to blog about calendar data.

What calendar data? Pearl Harbor Day.

[snort] Wow. I forgot. That was a week ago! Why are you giving me an alarm now? Hairy set this alarm for a week's backlog.

[snicker] Go ahead and change that to something more timely. What would you like to say about Pearl Harbor Day?

It apparently didn't live in enough infamy. Hairy commented in 2014 that if it HAD lived in enough infamy, September 11th might not have happened.

[pause] errrr-maybe not.  Thank you. [exits]
