Stranger #13

Stranger #13-

Over the weekend, I came to the conclusion that this project would be alot harder if I lived in the mountains. Honest to god, it seemed as if civialization didnt exist up there. I figured that I may be able to meet someone walking around the development where our mountain house located at, but everyone was literally non-existant. It's a far stretch from what I'm used to, living in the city. When I walk outside of my house in the morning, I could always bet that someone will walk by atleast every 20 minutes. It's very quiet, and serene in the mountains, but if you love being around people, this is not the place for you. I dont know if it was just the location or because it's dead Winter, and everyone stays in their house, or what? We went into a grocery store to get some things, and actually asked the young man at the register what there is to do in the area. He chuckled and actually said "nothing." It was funny, but crazy at the same time. He said that the closest thing to do was 30 minutes from where we were and he said that they only had a movie theatre, shopping and restaurants. Luckily, google is one of the best inventions ever, and we happened to find a really nice bowling alley to waste some time before the crazy drinking festivities began.

Meet Linda. At the supermarket, named Weis, Linda was standing outside on her break. Linda didnt want to say much but she did state that she owns a rottweiler named Zoey. She also has been working in the meat department for atleast 10 years. She was extremely hesitant, and I could tell that she was very taken back by what I was doing. I know it's not every day that someone randomly approaches you and asks your name, but I am apprecative that she didnt blow me off and did spend a few minutes of her break telling me a couple things about herself, and allowing me to take her picture. Thats all I could've asked for!
