I had the opportunity to spend some time with my old and dear friend Alex this week. They had a big crab feast at her ex-husband's place-an aging home where he conducts a seafood business out of in the summer months. The house is no worse for the wear..bustling with a steady flow of people all evening. I imagine that is what happens all the time. In any case, we sat down for a few crabs, burgers, sausage, raccoon salad, pasta salad, as well as a few other salads. yes, that was not a misprint..apparently they were serving raccoon salad. Not sure if they were pulling anyone's leg, but no one seemed to be eating it. Okay, i took a taste. it was an odd color..a very dark meat. And it really did taste like chicken, So, was it real or not? Saw no coon pelts laying around..I prefer to think it was chicken.
Monday morning arrived and I was greeted with a call to tell me we had a massive roof leak over the weekend in the library. Nothing unusual-although this might the worst yet..we lost 250 books in water damage. We took the proper procedures and called HDQ. They contacted the owner, who thought it was an exageration and would come out right away to see the damage. And lo and behold, he never showed up! Wonder if we were handing him a wad of cash if he would post... Massive mess. I suppose this is better than the roof almost collapsing a couple of winters ago.
Is it the end of the day yet?
