65. News of the day

Big news, Missoula!

Before that, though, let me explain some things to you.

First, I am excited to announce that I have gotten a subscription to the newspaper, just like a real adult. Just like a real adult, I've commissioned some poor little boy to bring a newspaper to my house in the very early morning hours, every day. Just like a real adult, I quickly flip through the pages of each newspaper a day or two late. Mostly I'm excited about the cryptogram - I conquer that thing every day except Sundays, when it doesn't run. But my reason for telling you about my newspaper subscription is to establish the fact that I've got my finger on the pulse, okay? I know all about what's happening around town now.

Second, because I got me one of them fancy smart phones and do all my business upon it, I got me a blogger app so that I can type entries on my fancy phone wherever the sam hell I am and have the words change to random other lexical items that share two letters in common with the words I meant. It will make for fun, fast, informative reading and may stave off dementia.

Third, while not rescinding my threat to leave this town for good at any g.d. time I feel like, I have decided to go home for the weekend to rest. This is neither here nor there and does not pertain to the news of the day.

So, the big news: wintertime hath cometh! WHHHHYYYYYY. I've lost my winter coats and/or forgotten what they look like. I was going to walk to work today but didn't, thankfully - I wouldn't have made it alive. Instead I drove my auto and had to scrape the windows.

I live very near to an officially sanctioned graffiti park (which means I am privy to all that's going on with the kids these days) and some hooligans found a load of snow somewhere and scattered it around on the ground the other day. The snow melted a bit but froze overnight. I walked by yesterday morning, paying attention only to my fancy phone, and nearly slipped on the frozen melted snow. I did not report the hazard to the authorities but could have if I had a 911 app for my phone.

Take care while walking and driving.
