Oi ! I've commented before (Pat Blashill) and though of COURSE your images are Right On Time, I very much love your writing/storytelling. The reason for today's comment was a total fucking mind-blower for me, because in High School Band, "Rehearsal" began at 8:00 a.m. On. The. Dot. One had better be assembled, tuned up and ready when the Director ascended his podium, wand raised, as he looked over his right shoulder at the General Issue Clock counting down. When it was 8:00 he faced the band, and conducted us as we said, in perfect unison: "To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late." This mantra, spoken in earnest daily for years made such a difference that (among other things) I sort of became known for it when I worked at Warner Bros. in the 90s. I have taught the mantra to many and the coincidence of its verbatim appearance in today's story is the only example I've otherwise come across. It is certainly the proper way to live. Respect.
Happy to hear we're not the only little town with an on time orchestra. Funny story about Warner Bros, I generally get mocked (by family and strangers) for my on time/early obsession. Heck, I mock myself when I'm sitting in the parking lot drinking coffee waiting for the guard to show up to let us in.

Thanks Nathan!
