I'm in Denver. A friend of mine is getting married in Aspen on Wednesday. Originally I had planned to visit the Denver office of the company I used to work for and so I agreed to pick a friend up at the airport this morning so that she wouldn't have to rent a car. I met the bride-to-be and her man yesterday for lunch and to get the buckets for transporting the flowers to Aspen.
After lunch yesterday I found myself requiring some items and since I had seen a Wal-Mart on my way to the restaurant, I decided to forego my usual animosity towards The Evil Empire and dropped by said Altar of Consumerism to do some praying. Holy shit was it a big temple. Bigger than the Egan Center in Anchorage (though that's not a difficult thing to do). I began thinking it was larger than the Sullivan arena in Anchorage too. I might be for sheer floor space (go to a graduation ceremony there and you won't disagree). I was lost for a while. I had the layout for most Wal-Marts down, but then they started making these Super Wal-Marts and now I just wander around in a over-stimulated daze. I can't find a damn thing either. Shouldn't you put some tape near the wrapping paper? When I asked about tape the guy directed me to the paint department (masking tape) and so I looped around the stationery section for a while before finally finding the tape (back part near the glitter, but not the glue??).
Dever is not a pretty city. It looks like they went a long time before deciding to plan things out. It has some nice green spaces but I think I'd get pretty sick having to drive by the refinery and grain towers every day. That's just me though.
So I'm off to the airport.
I guess I should mention that I drove straight from Tucson to Denver over Saturday night. I was a mess by the time I got to Denver. One of my gatorades had leaked so I had orange stains on my shirt-then as I was driving to find a hotel I opened a recently purchased root beer only to have it explode all over me. I walked in to the hotel lobby looking like a wreck. It only took a 1.5 hour nap to get me ready to face the rest of the day. I wasn't tired until around 11 either. It was weird.
