Blog contributor Keith Heltsley (who runs the Retro Radio Podcast site) recently pointed out to me the Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) short story called, "My Watch."
The story is very short and very funny. If you are not familiar with Twain's short stories, you are missing a delightful read; they all make me literally laugh out loud. This particular story is about a watch that needs repairing and he finds that the repairers all do a less-than-immaculate job.
We know Paul Rhymer was influenced by Twain; is this story the one that made Vic have a want for fixing timepieces? We will never know but you will be a poorer person if you do not read this Twain story.
