Job Hunt

Due to the fact I had some extra time on my hands Wednesday, I decided that it could be well spent seeking employment. As luck would have it, I decided the Mirror Lake Highway might be a good place to start. It always helps to look where there is not much competition for the available positions. As I hit the summit at Bald Mountain, goats appeared on the side of the road. At first I thought that someone had left the gate open at Mickey's house. Then I realized that the goats were not domesticated Tooele County goats but they were the real deal. Oreamnos Americianus, or Wild Mountain Goats.
We had a staring contest for several minutes. Then a car bearing Wyoming plates stopped.(Most likely another job seeker). She was not what you would call pretty. Not even close. With one glance she scared the goats back up the mountain and me down the highway. I'm still looking for a job.

Jim, you should write a column in the local paper..."Adventures with Jim" That could be your form of employment. Bruce is still laughing. We sure miss wit. (Wit is a form of intellectual humour. A wit (person) is someone skilled in making witty remarks. Forms of wit include: the quip and the repartee. ...)Yes this is you!
