Your piano tuner must have taken lessons from Mark Twain’s lightening rod salesman.
I don’t remember that Twain story about the lightening rods, but I know where you are going. I have another reason for my reservation. I looked him up in the Circuit Court records, and he has an arrest. Twenty years ago, but it is a creepy arrest regarding a child. I won’t allow him to come here unless my husband is home, and I want this job done and him gone.
I know this man has a right to earn a living, but REALLY! Mainly I resent having to give up part of my Sunday.
Regarding the squash, I’m glad that Mrs. Bender said not to peel it. It is too pretty to discard.
