My Powers Are Beyond Your Understanding
(Sigh), I seem to have developed at least one super power, the ability to effortlessly get a garden hose tangled and kinked into knots so horrendous that it would make a Phrygian blanch. I've dealt with dozens of hoses over my lifetime, almost all of them "guaranteed" not to kink up on me. And all of them do. And when I set them down, no matter how carefully, when I pick them up again they are woven into a spaghetti-like hell. Half my time in the garden is spend untangling hoses - it never fails. I remember old posters put out by the boy scouts and sea scouts with pictures of all sorts of knots one could/should be able to make. Ha! I laugh at their puny efforts. Why, I can leave a simple garden hose draped out straight, end-to-end in the evening, and by the next morning it will have twisted itself into a non-euclidean horror that would blast Stephen Hawkings mind to bits. I have the gift, apparently. And now you'll excuse me, I have to go water the garden...

The Hose Buddy (for the cpap machine that I use) and I are at peace. My amazing powers seem limited to the garden...
