Himalayas

At work one normally desires to have a nice Friday without interruption, so that you can clean your desk off. That has not happened for me in several weeks, so my desk is beginning to look like the Rookie Mountains. If nothing is done it will grow to be as large as the Himalayas. I did have a few minutes of relaxation at work, when one of my good friends and past co-worker called. He move to the West coast and tells me that it is very different out there. (If you don’t know, you could say that I live in Mid-America.) He informed me that you even have to pay for parking, which is unheard of in these parts, unless you are going to the airport. Why do you have to pay for parking at the airport anyway...
