Wow.

Take about needing someone in a hurry.

If I were single, young and ...

 

It says not to call twice. Is that like a double-negative, and it means I should call?

 

Cough, cough, Cosmo.

 

I'd call to ask.

 

Like he would know.

 

Who was here, and where did he/she go?

 

Chris Gabel was here. No idea where he went. I'll work the pipeline and see what happened.

 

I'm sure your pipeline is much more reliable than the vaunted boots pipeline.

 

you mean the boots poopline?

 

Gabel was there for a little more than a year. I believe he was the sports editor in Yuma before that. I'm curious to hear where he went.

 

Flagstaff is a decent place, expensive though. You'll have to get used to the 7000 feet elevation. Too bad NAU plays indoors since Flagstaff is surrounded by forest.
