Strange day today. A rainstorm descended on us in the middle of the night and this morning it was heavy rain with dark skies. A perfect day to stay inside and lay low. Still recharging the batteries I ended up watching one of those movies where the main characters wake up to find most of the world wiped out. Everyone is just gone. In this case it was aliens. A good one to watch during the day. I've learned about watching scary movies at night.
It went a little long so was running late for my one o'clock meeting. I was meeting the fire captain to work on something for the new fire station that I'm on the building committee. They're temporarily housed in a trailer. I run up to the door, knock, while getting drenched and after a second I pop my head in. Small space and the TV is on. I call out, but no answer. It's like they just vanished. And I have to admit I hadn't fully transferred back into reality world from the movie I was just watching. With the rain, the TV still on, no one around and the smell of bacon still lingering in the air, I started worrying I was in my own crazy version of some sci-fi movie. I noticed a back door which led to the garage where there was an ambulance and empty spot where the firetruck goes.
Figuring they were out on a call I ended up running my errands. I picked up my rubik's cube and some zyrtec. The rubik's cube is for me and the zyrtec is for the boys. The crazy thing is that it has a cat on the package for the antihistamine! I swing back around and find they had returned. Ended up having a nice time chatting with the guys and learning more about the fire station crew, goings on and what life is like on a 24 hour shift.
In other news, I've learned some of the moves for solving the rubik's cube but think I'm still a long ways to the end goal. It's a bit harder then I remembered/hope. Maybe I should have picked this new years resolution at the beginning of the year to give me a full 12 months. Anybody have any luck mastering the secret of the cube?
