At the Parent's House
Is it wrong that i've only spent a few hours so far at my parents house, and I already want to go back home? It's not because of anything that they (or I) did or didn't do, but i've never liked the Tri-Cities... at all.
Worst part is, i'm stuck here until at least Saturday. At least we'll be going to a hockey game on the 27th, that should be fun, if nothing else.
I'm also sometimes annoyed at just how soon that the sun sets in the fall/winter months. The sun had almost fully set at 4 pm, and it's completely dark now at 5:37 pm. Bloody hell, I would have at least considered taking a walk, and maybe seeing the Wal-mart (I call that particular company "Wal-hell") that I used to work at, since it is only a mile away from my parent's house. Ever since i've worked for that company, i'm continually flabergasted that anyone could think that Wal-mart could possibly be a good company. I've expressed plenty of reasons why in previous posts here in my blog, so I won't go into that one again.
Though... "Wal-hell, we're owned by the People's Republic of China!" I am fully aware that they are not owned by the PRC, but it really does feel like they are.
Maybe i'll start to feel a little better about being stuck in this area again (even if only for a few days) if and when we can go explore all the new crap that they've put in here since I left here to go live back in Forest Grove, OR.
The Tri-Cities are never going to seriously grow unless they get more under their belt than nuclear power, Hanford clean-up, wine, and farming. Those are the four major industries here, in that order. After that, it's all restaurants, gas stations, 7-11's, and that sort of work here. Frankly, it sucks. Worst part is that there never seems to be anything to do here, said fact not helped by the fact that my parent's house is so far from the center of town.
Anyway, i'd better leave it at that for now, before I start to ramble on and on.
