My friend Caw arrived last night for a stay. She's still asleep this morning, which I'm not surprised at since it sounds like it was a damned long trip from Alaska. Wonderful to see her last night, after she's been gone all summer.:)
She gets into these monologues at times which I find hillarious, and I can't possibly put them down in text so that they are near as funny. One went something like: "The churches up there give stuff away to try to suck people in. Look, I got this go-cup with a picture of a Christ-bear - see, he's got a halo and everything? And this Christ water-bottle. It expa-a-ands... and squirts! No no, too easy. There was a guy with cookies, too. I wanted to say "Did God tell you to give me a cookie?" but instead I said, "Nice tie!"
I'm kind of envious anytime anyone travels. She just figured if she was going to do a shit job she might as well do it in Alaska, where they'll put you up in a dorm-type room just so they'll have summer workers. So she worked in a gift shop, and later cleaned busses, and got to do all the expensive touristy stuff for free or minimal charges. Not a bad deal if you've got no reason to stay in one place. So now she's looking for a similar situation in a warm place for the winter. She's hooked - she's become part of the park-worker subculture. We don't have that in Maine, I don't think, because we have a poor population. Most of our year-round residents make their money for the year during the summer.
Guess I'd better get my shower and see if I can do some dishes.
