Feet . . .

. . . In from the rain
Out of breath from the chase
Reflection of lights
Shining bright on the street
At last finding comfort
All three feet

Pursued by many
Over stretches of time
Never quite to some standard
Not clear, hard to meet
Determined to cover
All three feet

Ambitious or not
You can think what you will
Is there measure attainment
Do requirements I meet
Spite of peculiarities
All three feet . . .

Informed???

. . . as always . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-gop-confident-it-can-avert-shutdown-senate-far-sure-n838561)
". . . The measure . . . (was to). . . extend the low-income children’s health insurance program for six years while delaying some key Obamacare taxes for two years. But the president's tweet (just before the vote) called that effort into question when he said a CHIP extension should not be part of a short-term bill.

CHIP should be part of a long term solution, not a 30 Day, or short term, extension!

When asked about the president's tweet Thursday morning, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said, "I don’t know whether it’s clear to the president that what we’re trying to do is reauthorize CHIP long term, not just 30 days. I would understand his concern about doing it just 30 days, but we’re trying to do a long term extension for CHIP." . . . The White House later clarified the president's tweet, saying that he does support the House bill. . .

. . . Oops!

One size fits ya'll. . .

. . . goes the joke about jeans in Texas, but buying new furniture for an old house is no joke. Or should I ask, can you buy furniture today and NOT have to worry about it being delivered through a door of an OLD house?

Now there was a time when I would have thought a 55 year-old house wasn't really that old. But it seems that today, furniture is just BIG!!!

So our evening was spent measuring doorways and our existing furniture (couches, to be specific) to try to determine whether there would be any problem having a new couch delivered through our basement door.

The good folks where we purchased this gem were kind enough to provide illustrations of a similar couch, showing how and where to measure and stressing the dimension of the most relevance.

Needless to say, the couch in the illustration was actually seven inches larger at a crucial dimension than the one we purchased. Does that make a difference??? I would think so.

Now this is very difficult to explain, but I'll try to be brief and simple. You place a straight line from the top of the backrest to the outer edge of the armrest, then run your tape measure diagonally from the middle of that straight edge to the far bottom corner (I think it's the foot, in our case) of the piece.

If the couch in the illustration is 37" deep, that opposite diagonal dimension is 30". So my question is, and I was never good with math, geometry, chemistry, calculus, algebra or any of those, if my couch is only 30" deep, won't the opposite diagonal dimension be smaller that 30", and therefore fit easily through my doorway which is probably about 28" wide at most??

I don't know!!!!!
