Shaveless, I made it out of Texas alive. I’ve never seen a sight as beautiful as Midland in my review mirror. Violet found us a little house to rent, The place sits half a block up from the Crosstown and about a quarter mile from the end of a runway. The racket is terrible, but this is temporary. We have a year long lease and the place is cheap. Last night after work I was sitting on front steps and I saw a little white thermos lying in the grass. I went to go pick it up and I noticed a biohazard symbol on the lid and the words “CAUTION: Teratogenic Substances” printed in large threatening letters on one side. I started to freak out. What if Ditch Weed had been out in the yard? He already made friends with the kids next door and I imagined he had been outside earlier playing with with buddies. What could these Teratogenic Substances do to a kid? Were they contagious? I had Violet bring me the cordless phone. Where did this thermos thing come from? I was pretty sure it couldn’t have dropped off an airplane, but the VA Medical Center was just a couple block away. I decided to give them a call and ask them is they could explain this biohazard in my front yard. The guy on the phone said he had no idea what a teratogenic substance was and told me to call 911. The response time was really amazing. There was a fire truck and a couple guys in full gear in front of my house in less than twenty minutes. Lupus and Wyatt who live next door came out just as one of the fireman was shrugging at me and putting the thermos in a special bag. Lupus started yelling. “Hey! Hey! That’s mine! I put grape pop in there!” It turns out the thermos was from a Jurassic Park lunch box and teratogenic substances are used to make dinosaurs.
Hope all’s well with you Shaveless!
Take Care,
