I have an update to my old Those Wacky Civilians post.


I ordered pizza recently. The bubbly, bouncy, beautiful girl (BBB) who delivered my pizza needed my driver's license number.

The Army has people who pack us when we move.


Oh, well, then, not so bad?

Grit teeth. Breathe deeply.

Well, it's still a pain, even though we have packers and movers. Every move is stressful.


Hummm. Yes.

BBB contemplates. I think she decides I'm lying, but I'm not sure.
