Yakutraz Day III

The day started out nice enough. The sun was out, but I could tell it had rained the night before since the windows in my Expedition were dirty. And of course, the wipers worked on the windshield, but there was no washer fluid. The fluid worked on the back window, but not the wiper. Unrelated to those problems but still annoying was the fact that the cartridge for the CD player was missing. It wouldn't be so bad if Yakutat got more than one radio station. It played a variety of genres, including modern country, 40s blues and broadcasts of local committee meetings. Most of the time I opted to be alone with my thoughts than listen to it.

The morning was fairly slow at the CU. I had the chance to complain to the admin assistant about my room and the infestation there. She hopped on the phone and apparently gave the owners a good tongue lashing. The owners of the lodge called me and offered to set off a bug bomb and give me some more movies to watch.

The afternoon brought 3 people in all at once wanting to open new accounts. And w/ the snails pace computers it took forever. We had bunches, no, bushels of people waiting in line. They must have backed a whole foot out the door. The vault was off again that night and I had to stay until after 7. I couldn't figure it out so I took it home to stew over. At home I had a TV dinner and watched another Gene Hackman movie. The new selection of movies they brought wasn't very appealing. It included an instructional line dancing video, Kickerboxer II and a host of other titles even more forgettable. I snapped some photos of my room and of all the dead spiders I found after they set off the bug bomb. At least they're dead. Now all I have to worry about is irreversable chromosome damage.

Are those live spiders you took pics of? Looks like quite the royal lodgings too. Hope the bug bomb didn't do too much damage, I like you just the way you are.

One of these days you should ask Jessica about our first apartment.

LOADED with spiders!

I'll never forget the one night we came back and found a spider that could bench press a buick on our front door.

Is that one of those UP spiders?
