MYSTERY NUMBER FIVE

Blog number 203                                                             13 August 2008

The city of Casa Grande is getting a brand new L.A. Fitness Center. Teresa and I plan on working out there when it is finished, in order for me to get buff and for her to get hot.

We've been waiting for it to be finished, and yesterday, while coming back from a mall shopping trip, we noticed several young men in identical outfits standing around a stand under an umbrella with an "L.A. Fitness" logo on it.  "Good," we thought, "let's go sign up."

We pulled up to the stand and noticed that there was no place to stop.  There was one car there, and it was parked over a right turn arrow in the street!  We parked next to it, motor running, and a young man came over.  We asked where we could park and he pointed down the street a ways and said we could come in there.  No, we couldn't.  Unless we wanted to go over the curb, and besides, why wasn't any of them parked anywhere but out in the street if that was an entry way?  Where were their cars anyhow?  In the parking lot across the street?  Why wasn't the stand in the parking lot anyway, where these young men would be available for information gathering?

I asked for a pamphlet while Teresa explained to him that he should tell his boss that they should pick some other place to have their stand.  The young man finally said they had no pamphlets - that if we wanted to know anything, we should go on the Internet website. 

No place to park, no pamphlets, no information, six worker bees standing around shooting bull - did they get paid for this?  Who picked their site?  Why were they there?  Where are my shoes?
