Today I went to Fairmount to take pictures for the paper. One of the questions I had been giving was about the change in the hours at the BMV (you know, where you get your driver's license) in that town. So I went there.

The place was pretty packed. First, I saw a guy playing a PSP. I started to talk to him, but when I asked him if he wanted to be in the newspaper, he quickly said, "no thanks." Then two ladies who had been waiting left. One who had come in just before me said something about not wanting to spend her entire Friday waiting. So I went outside and caught up with them. They said they certainly had an opinion to share, but they didn't want their pictures taken. Crap. So I went back inside and talked to a young guy who said he was there waiting for his friend. I got a quote and he agreed to let me take his picture. Success! Then I went across the street to a nice little smoky diner and ate some delicious chili and grilled cheese and drank Coke and watched Gunsmoke.

I'm certain I'd never seen Gunsmoke before, but for some reason I heard the theme song and I instantly new what show it was. Weird.

Then I got in my car and started driving toward Marion. I felt really tired, so I put some gas in the car and went home and watched some episodes of the Twilight Zone.

So it kind of sucks that I only got one picture out of four or five that I should have got for that town. Man, if it turns out to be out of focus or messed up or something I think I'll cry. I'll just have to go out tomorrow and work harder to hit the other three towns.
