Never Enough Money

Default Willing spirits and weakened flesh.

Well running Lee Valley through the computerized language translator
(into Swahili and back to English) gives "Need Money."

From Mandarin gives "Place still has non-China made products"


From French give "Suck Hole of Yankee Capitalist pigs' money"

The ultimate test of a computerized language translator program is its
ability to reverse translate its own translation. The results are often
comical.
Years ago, some computer scientists gave their program the job to
translate: "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak."
It translated it into Russian and back again:
"The wine is fine but the meat is spoiled."

WTF does that have to do with woodworking?
Lemme explain. I woke up this morning all full of **** and vinegar to
get cracking on this 3-level bathroom vanity top.
As I left the house, I noticed something of substance peeking out from
my mailbox. I remember thinking to myself: "don't do this, Rob... take a
look later..."
I did look.
3 hours ago.
Still here.

It all comes down to weak flesh.
