63. Nasruddin in the Cupboard

During the night, Nasruddin heard robbers ransacking his house, so he quietly crept downstairs and hid in the cupboard. He then listened as the robbers worked their way through the house, cursing and swearing. They were not able to find anything worth stealing, and Nasruddin could tell they were getting more and more angry.

Finally, one of the robbers opened the cupboard door and discovered Nasruddin there, cowering in his nightshirt.

“What are you doing in this cupboard?” the robber yelled at him.

“I’m hiding here in shame,” said Nasruddin apologetically, “because there is nothing worth stealing in my house.”

I think the Park had a Thanksgiving feed yesterday but I avoided it and ate my usual ‘linner’. I’m also going to avoid buying anything on this Black Friday of place any online orders next Cyber Monday. My last online order was for more coffee from Old Bisbee Roaster which I received a few days ago. I could have gone to the store in Bisbee but the parking options for Desperado are not the best so I ordered online.

Nothing on my agenda this week other than I need to get started doing my monthly household duties. I will also be doing two trips to Sierra Vista to get the antenna removed and roof sealed on Desperado before having the Starlink Mini installed.
