Last Friday the guy came out to service the air conditioning unit. We were in the middle of that heat wave with 95 plus degree days. Anyway... I'm sitting at my computer when he writes up the bill on one of those big metal things they use. Jessie is laying in bed about two feet to my left. Gandalf, the computer cat, is just about standing on Jessie's head trying to see what me and the strange man were doing. I get done signing and tell the guy that Gandalf wants to see the bill. I then tell Gandalf to read the fine print. The guy shoves the metal bill thingy into Gandalf's face expecting him to run away. But... Gandalf finds the bottom of the bill with the fine print and begins to read... you know... scanning with his eyes from left to right. The poor guy doesn't know what to think. Then I tell him that Gandalf uses the computers too and does email. I think the guy sort of backed out of here!
