AND STUFF
I am not alone.
There is another!
OK, so there I was at Gold’s Gym, getting ready to start my workout with 12 minutes of cardio on the machine. But I needed something to read. I walked over to the magazine rack, flipped through a few mags, and there it was, “North Dakota Adventures” travel magazine. Sensing that there was another nearby I hurriedly scanned the room. No one stood out.
So, to put this in perspective, my Gold’s Gym is across the street from the ocean, has nice ocean views from many of the machines, so naturally there would be a “North Dakota Adventures” travel mag on the rack. Someone from the gym had either recently visited ND or had just immigrated; because …. the magazine was still warm. Oh yeh, my old hunting and trapping skills came right back to me. I was on it.
She Who Must Be Obeyed tells me that every time she sees a ND plate on her commute to West LA, she’s concerned that another one of us has moved here. It’s not an everyday occurrence, what with 110% employment in ND. But it’s enough for her. She has been lobbying the Legislature for a law stating that I was the last NoDak who could immigrate. I honestly don’t know why she takes such a strong position; likely has something to do with me though.
At any rate, I grabbed the mag and read all 132 pages while on the machine. It was good to see the familiar sights again. I even learned that Garrison Dam has more shoreline than California! I extrapolated that factoid and I think that would mean ND has more than 5000% more ice-houses in the winter to ice fish from than we have along the coast in CA. Full employment, more coastline, ice fishing, damn what was I thinking when I bugged out.
I am going to start wearing my UND t-shirt to Gold’s, maybe I can flush the guy out. Hold on here, maybe he was flushing me out with the magazine and I fell for it! All of a sudden I’m in Highlander being hunted by The Other. Or an oil guy was staying at the hotel next to the gym and left the magazine. But I’ll be looking over my shoulder from now on just the same.
Good Eating and Table Talk,
Roger
