Pete's Log: happy birthday, CO!
Entry #1078, (Life in General)(posted when I was 23 years old.)
August 1, 1876: Colorado was admitted as the 38th state. Happy 125th birthday, Colorado!
The South Bend area is apparently suffering some sort of cat epidemic. From what I've been told, one humane society in the area is brought about 20 cats a day. Unfortunately, on a good day, they'll maybe get 10 cats adopted. So they have to put a lot of cats to sleep.
Sometime wednesday afternoon I got an email from Andy telling me to call him if I want to do anything. So evening rolls around and I try calling him several times, but am only able to get a busy signal. So bored and with nothing better to do, I drove to turtle creek and found Andy and Randy outside, trying to do something to Andy's car (his tire's flat). The busy signal seems to be somehow related to the fact that their phone line seems to have been disconnected. So we drink some beer and play some rummy (though with rules I've never heard of before), then later hang out on their deck after their roommate Mike gets back. Finally we hit Corby's. It's rather quiet, but we got to admire our favorite bartender again. We drive around a bit, in search of something happening. August 1 was, after all, the last day of summer session classes. People should be out partying. But we have no luck, so we end up at Baracho Burrito. The night ends, yet again, with me falling asleep at turtle creek while watching Princess Mononoke in Japanese without subtitles.
