My evacuation birthday

[Del]

I stayed out late on a date last night with my new friend Danielle. My birthday today.

So I wake up to my aunt ... "Happy thirtieth birthday. Now we have to evacuate, the officer just came to the door. A tanker truck spilled at the gas station."

So I have to sleep on my uncle's plumbing office couch. Traffic in town was nuts as roads were closed everywhere as the gas went into the creek that goes down to the box store area. Walmart, Home hardware, Save On Foods, etc. I'm just so glad Allsham, her family, and the girls that work for Allsham at the City Blenz Cafe on that corner all are safe.

Kinda a wierd day.

You say you're in an office? Perfect! Re-enact scenes from "Office Space" .

From the other ENWorlder with a 3 letter username that ends en "el", allow me to extend a great big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Perhaps you should see if you might crash over at Danielle's place in this, your hour of need. Your birthday might end even better than it started.

Happy birthday!

I'd light a cigar, but ... uh ... that sounds like a bad idea right now.

My dad's birthday was Hurricane Rita day. I guess stuff like this just happens?

Thanks guys.

We got let back in last night before I posted this thread.

There was a CTV crew at the cafe just now. I hid in all my unshaven just out of bed glory.

Sounds like the perfect way to welcome in your thirtieth year. Happy Birthday, belated as it may be.

I didn't even get into the thug that was hassling me and the ladies after the movie from a truck on the side of the road. He chickened. Smart guy; the two goth chicks I was with could have messed him up as readily as I.

Then there was the arab vagabond following me after I split up with Danielle and Nicole. I gave him a smoke then lost him at an intersection. We waited for the walk signal and when it came he walked into the intersection. I waved him in then deeked right, on that corner. He looked sheepish and pissed at that but kept going.

I'm getting too old for this. Can I live in a respectfull world? Please?
