TERry Romeo Francisco liked to look the part and would preen himself frequently. This behaviour resulted in him getting fired from many a job. His current job required that he roped the cattle in the holding pen, but he was so bothered by the dust that he hardly ever succeeded - once again, no job. Terry was also accused of stealing from the village post office, but there was not a shred of evidence against him so the case was dropped. He decided to buy a drone but was frustrated by the thing. He had yet another go at reading the instructions for it but it only led to more frustration. He cries "this is all greek to me". He went out for some food, but when crossing the creek on the narrow plank bridge he lost his footing and got soaked. Terry, looking very bedraggled, made it to the local take-out and got some chicken and fries and hurried back home the long way round avoiding the narrow bridge. He had a brief encounter with an ex-work colleague who was highly amused at the contrast in Terry's appearance from when he was a colleague and now. Terry made it back home without coming to any further grief and started sorting himself out. The next day he decided to wear scruffy jeans and t-shirt from then on and life became more settled.
