Cold Shower, Root Beer, and U.S. Citizenship

Well I whent to basketball practice tonight and as usual me and this one other guy were there a good half hour before the rest. So we warmed up, took some shots, and played a little one on one. I kid you not, it did me in. The humidity here isnt usually extreemely high, but today was one of those days where rain clouds just hang in the sky and do nothing but frown at you. Those are the days where the humidity is terrible. Ok so, extreem humidity + raising body temperature + sitting at the doctors office all morning then walking two miles to get home and takeing the oth to be an American citizen (more later) and standing around the shopping mart all afternoon = Instant dehidration through ppersperation and fatigue. So in half an hour all the other guys showed up all fresh out of the airconditioning in thier cars and we're standing there looking like we need to get wrung out and hung up to dry. But we both still played in all the practice matches.

So I get home, take a cold shower, and have a tall glass of ice with root beer in it. Mmmmm, make that TWO glasses of root beer. No, you can't buy root beer here. No, I the humidity did not short circuit my brain. We get these root beer concentrate things at some grocery stores that still seel them. You mix it up with 4 gallons of water, some yeast, and a heap of sugar. It makes about 9 1/2 coke bottles full. Then you set it some place that you don't mind having covered in root beer and wait a few days for the fermentation to start. NO! I'M NOT MAKING BOOZ! :P. The yeast produces carbon dioxide as it dies, thus carbonateing the root beer. The stuff ain't bad. Just as long as there's enough room in each bottle to handle the pressure of the carbon dioxide as it formes. That's why I said we dont let it set anywhere we don't want covered in root beer. Fortunately we have a shower that's like a hall that's tiled and has a shower head and a depression at the back with a drain. Very nice setup, oh and it does have a door, we're not total barbarians. Ba-Ba-Barbarian!

Also today I got the paper work done for my passport, which means that I wount be forced to become a Frenchie. And then I swore the oth that I didn't lie about the stuff on the form. So now I am offically set for my U.S. citizenship. Wich, I might add, starts a week from tomorow.

This is getting long, and this is the end......... THE END!
