Burning Man Festival
This is my last post concerning the Burning Man Festival. Originally I posted the contents below 2 weeks ago, but somehow the post was deleted,
I met an interesting couple at Burning Man, a very handsome young man and his beautiful, very alluring wife, Our mutual interest in modern art seemed to form a strong commonality between us, and soon I was invited to their rugged looking RV. The interior is in keeping with the exterior in that the inside is rather spartan, except for the most extensive computer and communications suite that I have ever seen and would undoubtedly be the envy of the joint chiefs of staff of the Pentagon. My cell phone reception, once on their network ,was the clearest it has ever been, so much so that it was as if I had purchased a vastly upgraded. phone. The upload and download speeds on my laptop were so quick that I received errors on my computer - “error: bus speed exceeded, data overload”, “error: data exceeds LAN capacity” or something to that effect, which situation only became ameliorated when the young woman attenuated the data transfer rate. It seemed only natural, since the womanly part of the couple is an executive at a large phone company.
I was invited to dinner, and over a plate of what the couple referred to as “nunions”, but were really hamburgers with onions, they discussed what the couple kept referring to as the “boining man” festival. I think their accents were merely an affectation in jest, and we had a very lively discussion about the festival.
There was bad news on the wind. Very unfortunately, the young woman became sick, I believe it was heat stroke, and the couple decided they needed to make an abrupt departure. It’s very common that participants are the victims of some sort of calamity. illness or otherwise. Luckily, the situation did not result in a fatality, which has been a terrible byproduct of this year’s festival and in the past.
Out of sympathy, I extended my hospitality and invited the couple to visit one of my homes close by the festival to recuperate.
There’s nothing special about this structure in spite of its unusual exterior and location. In actuality, it is a prefab building and the land on which is it’s current home is naturally very inexpensive. We did not stay however, since the central air was on the fritz and the weather in the Nevada desert in September is savage to say the least. Since here was no better than at the festival, I invited the couple to my main home.
During the day or two the couple stayed, we had many interesting discussions. Interestingly, the couple met on Tumblr, but weren’t very happy with it and haven’t been very active lately. For my part, a slight glitch here and there hasn’t soured my opinion of Tumblr, and I am quite happy here.
We aren’t married. He’s my boyfriend LOL!
