Nuggets In The Scree

The story of Jared's trip to Haiti and the human rights work there can be found at www.behindthemountain.blogspot.com . The tale of Jared and Mattie in Sri Lanka working in tsunami relief is at www.makingadifferance.blogspot.com . Wildmeridian will continue to feature the same mix of rambling, musing, and muttering it always has.

Working weary

Bikers, hippies, students, retirees, buisnessmen, drifters, grifters, local politicians, and pretty much a cross section of Flagstaff society make Charly's their watering hole. A historic building and bar, and down righ descent music on a nightly basis, as well as local family ownership all conspire to make it a pretty cool place to work. Plus, from the balcony you can see the frat bars across the street and the predictable debachery that ensues.

So the first night went well.

Today I had an inservice training as a substitute teacher for the school district. Kind of a differant world and line of work altogether. From co-workers with pale skin who rarely see the light of day and have been haunting the bars of northern Arizona for years, to older ladies with kids and grandkids, retired teachers, and discussions of nail polish and Martha Stewart.

Tonight a Zydeco band from New Orleans is playing downtown. SWEET!!!!

use caution and don't get your "days & nights" mixed up, or you'll be throwing some 3rd grader out the door / try to help some drunk with his math, while figuring his tab.... and trying to get the whole bar to be quite and sit still...
