O F F THE W ALL
_______________ By Merlyn Robinson_______
May Day, May days-they are vanishing like dry grass in a wild­
fire. Our spring season has been shortchanged. Outside work that
should have been done last month is smack in your face if you have
adopted that gardener’s “pointer’s stance.”
Playing catch-up is hard work. Cattle ranchers have the spring chore
of vaccinating cows and branding calves regardless of weather. Pic­
ture hard-working crews liberally sprinkled with dirt and splattered
with pungent, green stuff that’s supposed to be good for the complex­
ion. Then add colorful touches including bleary, red eyes and a few
black-and-blue bruises.
Like weekend warriors, it takes hardy souls to cheerfully accom­
plish such tasks. My more sedate role is that of a bookkeeper. And
when it comes to sorting and pairing, I depend on an athletic horse
who, unlike me, is capable of fast steps.
Age does define work role capabilities. Yet it is now possible to
replace worn-out body parts. And while the idea of cloning seems far
out, a recent television report said that professionals believe that a
human head can now be reattached with success to a different human
body.
This questionable idea of an interchange might have some merit
for a brain-dead subject or a person with a paralyzed body, gruesome
as it sounds. I’m all for science and laud the current cancer fighting
capabilities. But I wouldn’t want to disgrace a younger, vigorous body
with this aging head and an impaired brain.
Although it’s a gamble as to which lasts longer, the mind or the
body, it’s probably best to stick with what one was given for the
game of life-in spite of repairs along the way.
Speaking of minds, last week was dedicated as National Teacher
Appreciation Week. It’s commendable to express appreciation to
teachers for the awesome task o f developing young minds or adding
wrinkles to the brains of professional students. Teachers and students
in this computer age have developed keyboard-oriented fingers. How­
ever, I question the lack of attention to writing skills.
Proficiency with a word processor seems to outshine legible hand­
writing, especially signatures. It isn’t just professionals whose signa­
tures one can’t decipher. Perhaps people aren’t proud of their moni­
kers or maybe that type of signature adds mystic to that person’s
character.
Case in point is a letter signed by both a student and a teacher.
Either signature could have been scribbled by a fast-tracking chicken.
Perhaps my criticism is unwarranted. Maybe this type of handwriting
is the “in” thing, along with putting rings in flapping, pierced tongues-
a fashion that is popular with primitive tribes.
