      <description>&lt;![CDATA[A Dublin, California man spent several decades trying to unravel the mystery of why his Venetian blinds were tangled in his master bedroom. After buying his single-family home in 1957, Gordon Neely replaced all the gray window curtains with the foldable blinds.&#xA;&#xA;In 1962, Neely noticed one of his blinds was always stuck on the right side when raising and lowering. The turning rod also didn’t work.&#xA;&#xA;Neely commented, “I’ve been untangling these dang blinds for over sixty years straight. I couldn’t eat or sleep. These things should be illegal.”&#xA;&#xA;This year, Neely replaced all his blinds with the same curtains he originally replaced. Unfortunately, a few days after this interview, Neely died in a tragic accident involving his window curtains. A police investigation is ongoing. Neely is survived by his wife Nancy and his three adult children Michael, Gordon Jr., and Kim.&#xA;&#xA;news&#xA;parody&#xA;venetianblinds&#xA;&#xA;a href=&#34;https://remark.as/p/ernestortizwritesnow.com/california-man-spends-over-60-years-untangling-his-venetian-blinds&#34;Discuss.../a&#xA;&#xA;!--emailsub--&#xA;]]&gt;</description>
