Stealth Stuff
Sealth stuff sneaks in under your radar. That's why it's called stealth stuff. Stealth stuff sprouts on smooth flat surfaces...like tables...the tops of dressers...and kitchen counters. Yesterday, when I got back from the store with my nifty new all frequency desk lamp that will give me healthy virtual sunlight during the darker months, my new wi-fi transmitter that will let me use my lap top anywhere within a five mile radius, and my new ten terrabite external hard drive made in China and assembled in Tailand...my stealth stuff signal finally went off...alerting me to the startling scope of the danger I face from the rapidly accelerating level of stealth stuff that has...evidently...for years been stalking me. Sneaking up on me. But it may be too late. \n I work at my day job in my home office. But that deadly stealth stuff has now completely covered my desk...so where am I going to put the brand new stuff I just bought? The nifty all frequency desk lamp that will give me healthy virtual sunlight during the darker months, the new wi-fi transmitter that lets me use my laptop halfway to the next town, and the ten terrabite external hard drive made in China and assembled in Tailand. I found myself standing there yesterday, looking at where I last remembered seeing my desk...with the stuff I just bought in my hands...then... I heard the phone, and it took me ten rings to find it...covered...no, buried... under huge heaps of sinister, stealthy stuff.
