Things a little off kilter

The old and ornery directional driller out here received a package from a friend this morning. The box was labeled "here are some gloves for christmas" (we're constantly using and disposing of gloves, after a while they become quite the hot comodity.) Inside the box were a dozen or so pink and purple fluffy womens mittens.

His trainee; someone who'se been drilling for years; brought a movie for me to watch, about people which live underground. He said 'who knows, maybe there are people under ground.' In all seriousness.

I dunno exactly whats going on; but I've felt some strange influence over the last few days from something external. I think these boys are my canaries.
