What Summer Holiday?
Jun. 9th, 2012 01:34 pmSo I have been asked where I have been. To be honest I have been where no sane bardi would travel. I leave the house at 515 or so every morning and I get back around 6Pm. In between I am in a delightful little community called Northside, which I do not get to see enough of because I am busy being 20ft off the ground with a soldering gun, making sure that said community has telephone service. Not outside, but in a lovely building with a street lamp in the lobby.
Yes I do get to wear a tool belt, no I do not wear overalls. In fact I tend to wear long sleeved dress shirts because they minimise the shocks..because the entire frame I am working on (frame being the collection of rings and tips that provide service) is electrified.
The irony is,of course, that being in the communication business...we have no internet. I barely have phone connection for the mobile phones. So I think a lot. It helps me stay 20ft up in the air if I am thinking of..oh no, you shan't find out that easily.
As for Northside. It is an area that has changed without being gentrified. So there are fundamentalist churches next to tattoo parlors, and vegan restaurants next old 60s style diners. And a house I would love, with a Victorian turret with a brass weathervane of a flying pig. And dogs. I am not sure if there are many people in Northside who who do NOT own dogs. All of them with the personalities that dogs get when they get a lot of exposure to humans.
