It was a red-letter day at WLBOTT <\/strong>yesterday. We suspended our “no human contact” policy and had a live gathering of the Elders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After clearing customs and immigration, Elders JA<\/strong> and JA-SU<\/strong> joined us by zoom from Canada. Elder JimZim<\/strong> drove over from HousTex, and Elder JPZ <\/strong>and SU <\/strong>coordinated the HQ gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, there was some dread on my part, especially related to the human-contact aspect. Then, Zoom crashed my computer while trying to create a meeting link. I had visions of an upcoming WLBOTT purgatory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But all the catastrophizing was for naught. We had a wonderful session, covering essential WLBOTT <\/strong>business, shareholder distributions (we agreed upon $0.00 Canadian), pending litigation, dealing with the inter insurrection, subpoenas, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day had much more fun in store for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As you may recall, Sally the Intern<\/strong> has a day job in the kitchen of a nearby hospital. Her paycheck provides the foundational cash-flow source for WLBOTT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Elder JimZim<\/strong> was in town, we joined Sally <\/strong>for lunch at the hospital cafeteria. The day just kept getting better and better – the special of the day was fried catfish and collard greens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Waggies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Elder JimZim<\/strong> surveyed the WLBOTT Agricultural Extension Service<\/strong> experimental hybrid garden. As luck would have it, our pickax arrived from Amazon during his visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a ribbon-cutting ceremony, Elder JimZim<\/strong> struck the first blow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Haircut: Pure Trust \/ Pure Regret<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Part of fun of yesterday was getting a free semi-annual haircut from Elder JimZim<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s always unsettling when you realize someone you care about is totally deranged.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elder JimZim<\/strong> wouldn’t let me give him a “retaliation” haircut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too Much Fun<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

WLBOTT:<\/strong> Is it theoretically possible to have too much fun?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elder G:<\/strong> Short answer: yes, but only in the way gravity technically exists while you are dancing on a table.
