Semi-Daily Scribbles

Gary's problem isn't intelligence. He's got more knowledge stuffed in his skull than is healthy, in my opinion. Poor guy stumbles over the simplest things though, like ordering lunch at the drive-thru, but he can take apart a computer or a tractor and put it back together better than new. Always knows how to spell things. All those big words. Man, don't get him going on science or philosophy unless you got lots of time to kill and headache tablets. Yeah Gary's a good guy, especially if you need something fixed. He won't take your money, but he'll want you to drive him to his doctor's appointment, or the store. Again with the easy stuff, the cereal aisle's a tough one for him. If you have to pull grocery duty, be patient and don't make any suggestions like 'Raisin Bran' or 'Cheerios.' Gets him nervous. Just have some words of encouragement ready, you know, inspirational stuff that'll uplift his spirits. I've been with the big guy when he's had a meltdown before. Wow. Oh, almost forgot. Make a note not to take him to Safeway. He's been told by the manager to never step foot in the place again. Ever.
