P365 Day 187: Famous Black Raincoat, part deux

Day two, and I still haven't tried on the Famous Black Raincoat. Why not? Because it's being hogged by the Fred-Kitty and the Joe-Kitty (note that Fred is on the coat and Joe is completely on the Fred):


... and then Paul took it away and put it on and wouldn't share:


Maybe tomorrow somebody will let me wear the coat. :-(

Oh, as I mentioned in my Tweet earlier, the water in our neighborhood is scheduled to be cut off between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. tomorrow to "improve water system components." They go on to say, "We do not expect the necessary work will take longer than anticipated" — which seems like a complete duh statement to me — "however, when working underground, unexpected conditions can be encountered." They suggest storing water in the fridge for drinking and cooking, and in the bathtub to flush the toilet.

Dad suggested I go to the mall, but I'd need a much bigger bank account to stay at the mall for seven hours. There's only so much window shopping a person can do before the wallet opens and the money falls out. Chances are I'll go see a movie at my favorite theater/restaurant — two if my attention span holds out.

Frankly, I'm more worried about my bladder holding out than my attention span. Here's hoping no unexpected conditions are encountered underground.

There is a Pilot gas station in summerville. You could go the bathroom there AND take a shower if you need to.

Oh my god, you've been talking to Lauren, haven't you?

Pilot doesn't need an advertising agency. They can just redirect people to the comments on my blog.

I guess I shouldn't mention my lovely water issue at my apartment. They were turning it off overnight to work on the road, and I got up to get ready to go to work (at the crack of dawn) and had no water. I had to go to my parents house to get ready. Nevermind the water should have been on by 5:30. My discussion with the office included stupid statements by the desk clerk such as, "Well, it will be off until 5:30 am all this week." My response: So it will be off until 6:30 am everyday this week?

Yeah, I have such fond memories of my apartment experience.

Phew. When I started reading your comment, I thought it was going to say, "I guess I shouldn't mention my lovely water issue at my new house." Because, really, as much as I'm looking forward to seeing you, the trip would definitely be on hold until you had running water.

I hope there are no unexpected conditions in your "underground" either. Good luck!
