Oddly Enough Blog

Come over to my yard for a fling?

Man, I love it when true stuff is stranger than anything I could make up for my blog. I mean, it’s like having a day off.

So I’m looking at an e-mail from the Pottery Barn folks, and down below the duvet covers and patchwork quilts I see something called Safety Recall Information. It informs me the chain is recalling a hammock stand.

This concerns me because of course I spend most of my days in a hammock, swaying back and forth in the sunshine and writing my blog.

It turns out, the wood used in the stand may break, “if left outdoors.”

I suppose that’s a relief for you who only use your hammocks in your living room, but for us yard people, it’s a disaster.

Anybody who has ever watched Looney Toons knows exactly what happens when one end of a tightly-stretched hammock snaps suddenly.
