The Daily Dose/June 5, 2020

Friends, your Daily Dose will return.
Of course, this has zero effect on Read Free Week. The Diary of a Nobody and today’s Backstairs at the Monte Carlo entry are both on the house.
The Diary of a Nobody: Sparrow whines about his new sprinkler. Today’s Diary.
Also, as long as I’m whining, the sprinkler sometimes tips over…I am not making that up…More than once I’ve come out to move it and the bugger has tipped over and the water is spraying directly into the ground, great if you want to target water a 12-inch area but otherwise not particularly useful.
Well, once is a mistake, twice is a habit as an old senior chief in the Navy used to tell me, so after the second time this happened I’ve gotten into the habit of watching it for a few minutes to make sure it’s staying in place before heading in and usually some adjustment needs to be made because more often than it’s at least a little bit off-balance.
Backstairs at the Monte Carlo: Houchins will whine about anything.
Houchins filling in is a surprise. This is just the second time he’s worked the hotel since the requirement that hotel officers be armed was dropped and for some reason he never found his way into the regular hotel rotation, not that he’s complaining. The official word from Houchins is:
“I don’t mind the hotel, but I don’t want to do it every goddamned night.”
And, in fact, he whined like four-year-old when he found out he was in the hotel. Although come to think of it he also whined when he found out he was originally scheduled to be Charlie 11, a unit which has no assigned duties in the casino, except to rove all night.
Many thanks for reading,
Gaylon
