No. That is not the temperature, nor the number of new shoots that the damn rabbit has eaten from my flower garden.
Nor is 78 to be thought of as a reference to musical records spun at 78 revolutions per minute – – – compared to LPs spun at 33 1⁄3 – – -and 45s spun at, of course, 45 rpm (interesting – – – 33 + 45 = 78). Nor is it meant to signify a typical tarot deck which contains 78 cards (21 trump cards, the Fool and the 56 suit cards), nor the total number of gifts in the song The Twelve Days of Christmas (78 is the 12th triangular number), and it has nothing to do with The Rule of 78s (which is a method of yearly interest calculation), however – – – and most importantly – – – it is not Municipal Okrug 78, the municipal…
Yes, It is time for another shameless self promotion of one of my 18 books(soon to be 19 – – – just wait – – – you’ll see).
This one is the autobiography of a fictional character created by a dead author. If that is not enough I should be quick to add that he is also a plagiarist; not unlike the one who writes this.
The autobiography is guaranteed to contain nonsense; yet be, somewhat entertaining.
Thank you and may God have pity on your soul.

“Brothers and Sisters in learning, serve your masters well, for they freely yield their lives and secrets to you. This for nothing more than their wish to become eternal.”
Thus spoke Fred
Three years with three masters and a fourth year with many masters.
That is what Fred pledged himself to. And so he made the leap,
towards eternal creativity and the chasm was very wide.
His fingers grasped the palisade on the other side,
where he hung in pain for forty-eight moons.
Yea, oh yea, there were periods of joy,
and periods of discouragement.
Disciples, there were none;
although false ones,
appeared at times.
Creations of iron were the goals set for him by the masters.
Competency in enumeration and calculation was required.
Recognition and scribing of straightness, angularity and
curvature were abilities required. For these skills,
This bridge was not built in the Adirondacks. It only missed by one mile; as the crow flies. It is on the Chateaugay River north of Chateaugay, New York. A lot of workmen from the North Woods left the forest to work on this bridge.
A fellow by the name of Daniel McCallum designed it. McCallum was transplanted from Scotland as a young boy. He must have had a bright mind. They say he started out as a carpenter then a builder/architect. I was told that he became the superintendent of the New York Erie railroad before he designed the trusses used for this bridge.
The trusses were so strong that they started using them on railroad bridges. They had a fancy name which I can’t remember. Maybe we can look in my pile of papers later and find out.
The civil war started and they needed McCallum’s engineering skills…
Things always have a reason for occurring. Sometimes they occur in pairs. Some things should never occur. That is what I describe here.
MEASUREMENTS AND UNITS OF VARIOUS THINGS
I just cannot understand how we came to use seconds, hours, degrees, radians and other strange units of measure.
ON DIRECTION
Who in the world can understand things like NNE or SSW?
On deeds they tell us strange things such as; “
Starting at the large Butternut Tree then proceeding 21 03’ West thence proceeding – – -.”
In fact we know that the line proceeds in a general southerly direction; not some cock-a-mamey direction West.
If we started out at the Butternut Tree why can’t we just say “proceeding in a southerly direction until you reach the big grey rock that looks like an elephant with bunions?”
Or “proceeding in a general southerly until you find…
Please read the above definition of ‘momentarily.’
Did you see anywhere in the definition the word ‘minutes?’
Did you see a quantitative value such as five, ten or fifteen minutes?
Did you see anything saying that said we will play stupid idiotic music for as long as we choose?
Did the definition say that you would be telling us what a great company you are and how many different services you provide; except customer service?
Did it say that if you are bewildered by the word ‘momentarily’ and are tired of waiting you could leave us your phone number and we will call you back; if and when we want to at our own convenience – – – not the convenience of the customer?
Did you say that you would call back the minute we sat down on the toilet and couldn’t answer your return call?
