This past adventure

 

It is an old western town, but inside a large, dry aquarium.  I don’t know at this point that I am inside an aquarium, all I know is that ahead of me, it looks like a dusty main street, though a ghost town.  The remains of a large billboard advertising Wally’s Tires can be seen.  Although some of the sign has been broken away, You can still read along the bottom edge, "You'll like our tires so much you won't care that we even inflate our prices."

Occasional tumble weeds rolled across the road, and a large, lumbering Grouper fish made its way through the air, as if it were water.  His eyes searched for both food as well as danger as he made his way down Main street.  All I noticed back at Wally’s was a large jar of colorful jelly Beans sitting on the counter.  They were like prescription pills, each with their own instructions, Take with food, take without food, drink lots of water, take 1/2 hour after you're asleep, and avoid the green ones.

What I don’t remember along any of the old stores was a Mrs. Coffee.  I began to wonder if there ever was a Mrs. Coffee.  It bothered me just a little that I was concerned more with that than with the large fish swimming through the air.  I must have been smelling coffee to make me think of that.

Town nurses were all dressed like cactus, and of course, each had an endless supply of needles.

 Had I taken a green Jelly Bean by mistake?



Note:

You have missed a turn or simply made a wrong turn.


As long as you are on this road, your current number of

 toes will not effect your digital footprint.


Signpost #1 has been out for repair, so you may not have

 gotten a complete set of instructions.



By the time you reach this signpost, all of your

life's decisions will be reflected in your mirror.



 Note:

Should you decide to return to Signpost #2, do not try to catch the Carp that make their way down the road.  Karen's Carp Shop is along that path and she has asked that only those wearing idiot mittens handle the fish.


Side note:

This blog post has been a mental recreation of a triple by-pass procedure. The events and images are real.  During the entire process, one doctor purchased a copy of, The Pantry.  I believe he displayed exceptional judgement and good taste.  It would have been nice to know him back at Signpost #1.  He seemed actually authentic.
