Triannual thaw process

The last 24hrs have been about new company. A coworker invited me out for some grub at a place called Cheers; yes, everybody there did know his name. I found myself at the bar with no one but middle aged men drinking one beer after another while scantily clad but sweet bar tenders diligently waited on them and took their drunk mumbling and spats. When they calmed down, we all talked about the Guess Who’s who were playing on TV at the time and fishing. It was definitely odd company for me, and I would not expect to find myself in such a place again for many years, but it was a grand ol’time and something I will look back on.

I took a drive during lunch with the tic-tac-toe guy. We drove through some great landscape in Fleetsville. It was mountainous cultivated farm land with apple orchards, grape vines and crop fields, each occupying a mound of land. Accelerating through the hills in a Mercedes “Kompressor”, it felt just like Germany haha.

So here lies the irony of the situation. It takes a while to adjust to a new place, usually about the same time climate starts to change, people seem more welcoming and your attitude thaws out. But as soon as this happens, it’s time to pack up and go.
If I were thinking clearly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. So why does it have to be partially cloudy today?!
