It was a hot July morning. Manley Pointer noticed a yard sale, and decided to go. After going up the path, and past the school, he came to the sale.
Most yard sales have a table with arcane electronic gear. There was something there called a router refresher. You plug it in, and the wifi is stronger throughout the house. Two electric toothbrushes were on another table. MP’s dentist has been harassing him for years about getting one. The sign said $5, quickly negotiated down to $3.
Walking home on the path, MP thought about the issues of the day. Today it was the stylistic similarities of hasbara to wokeness. The overblown rhetoric. The hypocrisy. The name calling. The flaky logic. The tendency to cut off people in the middle of a sentence, and start ranting. None of this leads to peace on earth, and good will towards men.
Getting home, MP took out the electric toothbrush. The bathroom was too small to have a convenient place to plug it in. There had been another electric toothbrush, which appeared to have a wall mount. MP walked back up the path, to see if he could exchange the non-mounting toothbrush for the mounting toothbrush.
Alas, the second toothbrush did not have a wall mount. What looked like a wall mount was another mysterious electronic device. MP went home, and put a brick on top of a cabinet to make the charger more accessible. The ET was not comfortable to use the first time. There will be other attempts.
