knit picky

"Better to repair the pen after the sheep have escaped than not at all."  --  Chinese proverb

The matter is settled.  I must fix the southern hemisphere.  My ruffles and flourishes at the top slid south.  Rain acted as a greater lubricant than anticipated.  Lesson learned and not to be repeated. 

A number of globes require repair.  Torrential rain and severe winds wreaked havoc on them last week, but I am pleased that despite it's slight deformity, my globe is stable.   The technicians at Chicago Scenic did not see the need for repair.  But I am  knit picky. I need my sphere.  A day's work will return it back to shape without much muss or fuss.   Goodbye Gilbert Grape. Big Blue the Blueberry returns.
