Total Destruction, from Mountain to Shore!

Long time coming for the latest installment of a long ago vacation recap, but it's end of the Financial Year at work, and while I'm not important enough to actually be busy, I have to expend energy looking busy, so the actual busy people don't freak on me because they're freaking out. That and all kinds of tornadic weather kept me hiding in my bathroom.

Part III: Don't Look At Me That Way

So, we're hungry. Kind of. We've been up for basically over 24 hours now, but it's lunch time, and we feel like we should eat. So we of course want gut destroying fast food. So we head out to find a Jack In The Box (because there aren't any where we live, and we're livin' it up in 'Zona). The hotel lobby Master of Questions tells us where the nearest is, so we head out into the searing 108 degree heat to find it. It ends up being much, much further away than the closest (one block away on the SAME STREET), but we do find it, eventually. We take pictures of people's houses on the way, because they look different then the houses around us, thus are funny.

The JITB is very small, and after passing a begger who is right by the front door, we try to decide what we want. In the corner of the seating area, is a older man on his break, who is the most baleful, haggard looking man in the world. We decide to get takeout instead of eating in. Haggard guy looks at us balefully, without stop, for the entire time we're in there. Stop being so God Damn Baleful, is what I want to yell. Instead I say "MMm...thems some good fries".

Then we decide to find a mall. To buy gifts for the wedding we've known we've had to buy gifts for for the past few months.

We can't find it, though it's on the Same Street as our hotel. So we go to a grocery store instead. And I buy my "Bag of Chicken Strips" which is the meal I eat from for the next two days, while nursing a sore stomach from not sleeping for 30 hours and eating only fast food and from the Bag of Chicken Strips.

Shite, gotta go to work...it shall continue.
