I've been having waaaaay too may dreams about work.
Some old guy yelled at me for the tunnel fee, saying he was a veteran, and G-dang it, and he didn't think his rig would fit through our twisty turny tunnel.
a) I don't work at Zion. b) the tunnel at Zion is straight.
Then I had another dream that someone gave me a napkin full of change and when I opened it to count it, it was a whole bunch of poisonous snakes and lizards that crawled up my sleeves and pants, and I had to stand still while people cut my uniform off.
I'm also sick of selling the annual pass in my dreams. I do that a lot too.

coincidences.
Sooo... today I had an interesting visitor. He bought an annual pass right off the bat. Found out he was from Cortez, and we started talking about MEVE, and he started talking about the luminaries they do for the holidays. I mentioned that there was a visitor who had parked over one of the lighted luminaries in the parking lot, and their car caught on fire, and the car next to it also caught on fire. And the dog inside the car next to it was released before it also caught on fire, but ran away.
Then he told me the person who'd parked on top of the luminary was his sister-in-law.
wow.

Permanent Vacation: Living and Working in Our National Parks
Bona Fide Books is seeking literary essays about your experience working in our national parks, from Denali to the Everglades, Yellowstone to Yosemite.
