And yes, I forgot all about being pissed and happily listened to her tell me about her shopping trip with her sister for new jeans and boots for this ...weekend. Her sister is a prude as I said but that did not stop Tammy from having fun. Her sister would at times talk to her about how she dresses or how she flirts with guys but it went in one ear and out the other. For the shopping trip Tammy had a skirt on that was above her knees that day and a pull over blouse to make it easier to try on. New commode and the rest that remained were just plumbing. Their water well had gone tits sometime in the past, so I showed Tracy how to sink a sandpoint, a pipe with a sieved point that goes down to the aquifer to pump water through. Didn’t need to do much to the pump except put in new gaskets. The pressure tank was fine. It had been drained when the last people left the place. We did add a coat of spray paint.We made a list of windowpane sizes, then, Alice called Stan at work to see if he. " I'll cut straight to the chase 'cause I've gotta get into the office. Would you do me a great favour, darling?" Ask away." My boss has been invited to speak at a big business conference in Geneva at the end of next week. And he wants me to go with him! All expenses paid, 5-star hotel, the lot. I really don't want to miss the chance as I've never been to Switzerland." The land of cuckoo clocks and cow bells." Rural life hasn't erased your cynicism then?" S'pose not. But where do I come in?". I know that some people believed every human life was sacred, but I wasn't one of them. To me, sacred things came from other sacred things. Humans came from fucking and that didn't seem all that sacred. It was a hell of a lot of fun, no doubt about it, but it wasn't sacred. Shit, it was as common as dirt.Children weren't sacred. They were precious but not sacred. They also would end up worthless without meaningful training and social indoctrination toward a productive goal. They needed someone.
