An emotional time
Category None
Our office is located in the centre of downtown Durham, New Hampshire. Durham is home to the University of New Hampshire and our office is right in the middle of the town, so we can witness first hand the cycles of Durham life. Durham is normally a peaceful quiet place with very little traffic and not much going on. This week and a couple of other weeks each year that changes, this the new students are moving in, cars are lined up down the street, there are futons on every pavement and standing alongside every empty mini-van is a mother with their child crying their eyes out as their chick leaves there nests. Such a moving sight. In about 24 hours time, these kids are going to be hammered, Ace hardware will have sold out of all funnels and plastic tubing, they'll be blotto, smashed, drinking down as much beer and munching as much pizza as they possibly can, and they'll be thinking about their parents for ooh about a nano second during the whole process. God I love this time of year

Carl: Do you ever go outside into that whole "blotto, smashed, drinking" frenzy?

@2 Is "somesuch" a code word for bar
@3 As if I would ever do such a thing, when all those young women are so vulnerable and full of poor judgement and wearing beer goggles...

I am positive no UNH student would break the law or act irresponsibly in any way.
