Well, here I am in Grand Junction, Colorado. You might think that a city named Grand Junction would be a real place of coming and going...a lot of bussling and hussling of people anxiously trying to get to their ultimate destinations, but really the highlight is basically a shopping mall.
It's kind of weird to make your final destination Grand Junction. "I'm going to the junction, nowhere else, just the junction and then back home." It's like sitting down in front of the television to watch the video that you've been looking forward to for weeks. You've got a big bowl of popcorn ready, and a the dvd is in the player all cued up. You've got the lights off. Then, all of a sudden, you get up and go do something else, like mow the lawn. That's what it's like to drive into Grand Junction and go, "well here I am. Grand Junction is the end of the line for me. I'm staying right here. What a place...Look at that mall!"
I'm contemplating what my next entry should be about and wondering why I don't write here more often, with the amount of wonderful ideas that are flooding my mind. For instance...I could write about one of my favorite compliments from comedy club managers--"You have a new stalker who needs to quit calling the club." Or, I could write about golfing with a juggler.
But, I think I'd like to write about the fecal material that is in my drinking water. The propaganda from the city hanging on the front door of the house said something to the effect of "We have reason to believe that there is poo poo in your tap water. We spotted it this morning and wanted to let you know."
Personally, I have a few questions left that the flyer didn't answer. Namely, "What?!" and, "Are you serious?!"
This is true, but the crisis should be remedied soon. So, hopefully after a couple of days I won't have to brush my teeth with milk anymore. Actually, I'm out of milk, so tonight I may have to resort to yogurt or cream cheese because I can't imagine that there are any dental hygiene benefits to Tampico punch.
Update: An official just came to the door and said that our water is no longer full of poop, just other harmful bacteria like E. Coli...what a relief!
