Finding Dan...

CONTINUED FROM 'For Years and Years'.  If you missed this story about the Mesa GM Proving Ground just click here.

...for access to salvage at the Proving Ground was not quite as easy as I planned.

I googled like crazy and found two possible company contact numbers.

I called both.

Both had full mailboxes.

I googled the name Dan in conjunction with the company names.

Nada.

Nyet.

Zip.

Grrrrrr.

Mr. Jenny wandered by my office.

"Talked to Dan yet?" he asked, hopefully.

"No, not yet...but soon...I'm working on it."

I made more phone calls.

 

I talked to nice people.

 

I talked to crabby people.

 

I left messages.

 

I sent e-mails.

 

And finally on Tuesday afternoon I got an e-mail back!

 

And the e-mail said, "Call Terry who would be willing to meet you there and see if there's anything you'd like to buy!"

 

I called Terry.

 

And left a message.

 

And then I had Mr. Jenny call Terry.

 

And Terry said, "Sure.  Let's meet out there Thursday afternoon and we can see if there's anything you're interested in!"

 

And Thursday afternoon feels like a lonnnnng time away.

 

But I know that it isn't.

 

And I'm really excited.

 

I don't know what there is.

 

And I don't know what we can buy.

 

But we get to go inside the gates!

 

And I'm totally excited!

 

We'll take the camera and I'll show you what happens.

 

Unless I die of excitement.

 

Or if a giant piece of rubble falls on me and crushes my fingers.

 

Or if this is a just a trick and Mr. Jenny and I are held hostage by GM and made to work as slaves removing all the top secret stuff.

 

...

 

...

 

sigh.

 

If none of the above happens, though, I'll be back to tell you all about what happens!

 

TO BE CONTINUED!
