Those Who Don’t Understand – Become Therapists

It’s happened again.  It is such a weird thing to have happened once, that for it to have happened again has left us perplexed and suspicious.

Three days ago, a small blue dresser showed up at the Free Bench.  It was so cute it seemed it would only be a matter of time before it would disappear.  So yesterday morning around 5:00 a.m., when I heard thumping sounds and a car idling out front, I thought that was surely what was happening.

I was not prepared for the sight that greeted me: the dresser remained, but where the drawers had been, there were now only gaping rectangles, revealing a less-than-lovely interior.

This rash of drawer-less dressers has led our house mate, Tom, to speculate that perhaps, unknown to us, drawers have become a necessary ingredient in the making of meth: two parts anti-freeze, one part ephedrine, and three dresser drawers.  Garth suspects one of my blog readers is pulling a prank (I defended you mightily, O’ Readers). 

I have no theory.  I am simply, once again, confused by human behavior.

    And now the dresser is gone. Who knows. maybe the midnight drawer-takers only had room for part of the dresser and came back for the rest? It’s a mystery…

    Maybe people are building franken-dressers? And on the Equinox, they will each rise with their army of unliving dressers and compeat to become the Mad King of the Portland-Metrepoltain area!
