Went out to Soundhole and sold some old CDs. I bought the latest Alkaline Trio disc and Dexter Gordon’s Ballads compilation. Soundhole is getting rid of all their jazz and the whole section is $4 off the marked price. Good deals, but a very small section.

Up next was the Library. Returned one book and took out 2 more. Tonight we are going to Costco and Wal-Mart. Hopefully the West End will not be too busy on a Tuesday night. Probably not. It has gotten to the point where the roads in Richmond are always packed. 2 in the afternoon 7 at night, it doesn’t matter.

A funny story:

Three friends of mine in college used to live in a house on Pelham St. in Fredericksburg. The houses in this part of town were extremely close to a canal and as a result the water level was very high. None of the houses in this area had a basement (this will be important later). One night in early fall we were out on their front porch hanging out. All their neighbors were redneck-as-hell. Two of the male of the redneck species decide to come out and hang out with us college kids. They begin telling a story of these two gay guys who at one time lived further up the street. They claimed that the gay couple kept a full-grown pig in their basement. They hinted that the pig was used for sexual purposes but would not say this was their opinion directly. I played dumb asking questions like “Why do they have a pig?” and they continually answered emphatically “You don’t understand, they have a pig in their basement!”. “What is the pig there for?”, answer: “You don’t understand, they have a pig in their basement?” Finally I acted as though I understood saying something like: ”You mean they fuck the pig!” answer: ”YES!!!”. They seemed amazed that a college boy like me had such a difficult time understanding that all homosexuals also practice bestiality. Silly me. Finally either they tired of us or we tired of them. I don’t remember which but they left and went back to their house 2 doors away and I came away with the knowledge that these 2 jack-asses were completely convinced that 2 gay men in their neighborhood, were having intercourse with a pig in a basement that could not possibly exist. The flaws in an idiots’ thinking can sometimes be astounding.
