JBG would retain ownership of the fresh water pipes from Morton to the truck stop. It was a better deal than I had hoped.The pumping stations would be... built with the same equipment as the town already had; spare parts would be on hand in case of failures. I wanted no part of sewer repairs and keeping spare parts on hand.The second meeting group had been from Cville; they were sitting in the lobby when the Qtown group left.“Unless you change your sewage plans and the grant for the proposed site. .. owwww.”“Well, okay then. But you’ll have to share.”“Prrrr.”I dare say many cat ... staff? ... have ‘conversations’ with their ‘owner’. It’s very easy to interpret a cat’s sounds in an anthropomorphic way, at least, I found it so. She polished off half a tin of tuna in olive oil and a saucer-full of mixed UHT milk and water. As for me, I had the other half-tin in a sandwich with lettuce, tomato and salad cream. The cat finished first and inveigled her way into my lap, purring loudly while I. I tried to deny it, before finally breaking into tears and admitting everything. I begged her for understanding, I told her that if I didn't do what these men demanded I could be killed. I'll never forget the look of utter disgust on my wife's face when she stood up and walked out of the visiting room without looking back. I got the divorce papers a few weeks later.After my release I tried to go back to being a guy, but I soon found out that I had gotten used to all the attention I had received. See, I own this whole strip of offices. The equipment room is behind us and that space next door is a lot deeper, so there's a lot more room. But most important of all, I'm going to take all the old files out of my wife's garage, or she will never speak to me again. I promised her a new car for her birthday and she said she won't go pick one out until she has a garage to put it in. Petra's going to get Olivia's old car because I feel guilty every time I see Petra walking to work when her old.
