Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for October 01, 2022

All those who want to redo this past year, raise your hand.

Then again, I do not want to redo 2020; for many reasons.

Was 2020 ANYBODY’S year?

Elon’s deliveries are running slow.

It got stuck in the Suez Canal.

Let’s do the Time Warp again!

Lucky dog, he gets to skip 2020 and travel straight to here….

Oh wait.

I’m going to school right now with kids who are just out of high school, or a few years older. They literally CANNOT tell time on an analog clock!! I was shocked. I even tried to teach them but they weren’t really willing to learn… it was too confusing. “I can never remember what the long or short thing means.” Wowsers!! :D

Are they sure it works?

Uh yeah Brewster about that….

His computer doesn’t have a time display?

2020 inflation rate for USA was 1.2%, 2020 gas price averaged $2.17 per gallon, 2020 unemployment rate 3.5% (before the pandemic), 2020 average mortgage rate 3.11% I got mine at 2%,

2022 inflation rate for USA 8.3% still going up, 2022 gas price averaged $3.61 per gallon, 2022 unemployment rate 3.7% (after the pandemic), 2022 average mortgage rate 6.83% and still going up,

Humm 2020 was not that bad, and 2022 not that good. Can it be Brewster is right but living in the past.

Brewster has an excuse for not knowing the year, after all he didn’t have a clock.

New RU Sirius daily task list template:

“When the big hand is on the _______ and the little hand is on the _____…”

“It’s on back order and will get here in 2026.”

My wife died. It was the worst year ever.

Why doesn’t he just check his computer?

’sfunny. I happened to visit my old high school (opened 1959) recently, and I saw that the IBM wall-mount master-slave clocks were all gone. It seemed wrong. (Yes, IBM used to make clocks. They also used to make butcher scales. If businesses used it, and it needed to be smarter than a monkey wrench, International Business Machines made it.)
