i bought a wall clock while at the beach with a lighthouse on it i put a battery inside before finding it a home it's a bit noisy and i have it laying on one of my dining room chairs until a home becomes available not sure how that will go since none of my paintings or other oddities will voluntarily give up their spot i really didn't need the clock but i liked it...so i bought it logical...yes? maybe i should shop for a wall extension i have asked myself 100 times why i haven't removed the battery today i turned it over so that the front is facing up this fixed the noisy part of the problem by muffling the ticking in the cushion of the seat i suppose i could just remove the battery anyway since i never really use an unhung clock to tell the time of day but something is keeping me from doing that something tells me that the clock won't start again should i remove the battery and those ships depending on the lighthouse may be forever lost at sea but what happens when the battery dies? i suppose i will find out if i live that long
