the big ABQ
for any of you who dont know this, i was recently transferred to albuquerque. it was a work related move.
one of the highlights of my day has been to watch gilmore girls. it sounds fruity, which is rather applicable to this post actually. so anyway, the mom is hot, so i dont think its as fruity as it sounds, maybe its just stalkerish and creepy, i dont know yet. that could be a future post, who knows.
so anyway, i was installing this alarm (cause my techs were all busy) in this rather beat down home. one of the kids that was in the living room there emotional while watching television. needless to say, it was the movie titanic. i was amazed. he was rather thick but groomed for his age. he did not belong there.
out of all the children that i saw (which was about 6 of them, its hard to count when they run that fast), he was the proper one. he showed me what to put alarm sensors on, and was also very cordial and served me, get this, water with a squeeze of lemon juice from a bottle. he said its his favorite, lemon water. yeah, it was refreshing.
as i was finishing my install, he was right behind me with a broom and dust pan to clean after me. after my install, i usually like to get out of the crazy houses, but this kid was crazy. he turned off his television (there were 3 in the front room), and escorted me out of the house to my truck. he gave me 5 bucks for a tip. he said it was from his mom, and thanked me for making his house safer. yeah, he had a certain lisp in his voice too.
ABQ (from what i surmassed, abq is the short version of albuquerque) is a great town so far from what i have seen. i have checked a great used book store, the rei is right down the street from me, the view is nice (the mountain side of course), and the food isnt too shabby. i am proud to say that i now know how to spell albuquerque.
