The Zimmermann Note

I was doing my laundry the other day in my building and it has three main elevators. Two of the elevators are for the main pedestrian traffic and the third is for laundry, dogs, and large packages, etc., however, unfortunately, there is a level of regular pedestrian traffic which will use the “Dog Elevator” as it is called to get up to their floors rather than the main elevators. 

For understanding sake, the laundry is in the basement of the building. The dog elevator works a little weird sometimes and will pick people up and go in the opporsite direction than they pushed. In this case the people that were in the elevator had come from the first floor and were heading to the basement which would then take them up to their respective floors. Anyhow, the door opens and there is an old lady as well as a woman and her dog. The old lady shouts to me, “Block the door! Block the door!” was the elevator was going up back up to the first floor. As the door opened, the people that happened to be waiting there was another woman and her boxer puppy. Knowing the puppy as the lady lives on my floor, I have always found the puppy to be one of the most sweet and endearing animals, not rough or bad with people whatsoever. The woman and her puppy decide not to attempt to ride up the elevator but instead wait. After the doors close the old woman says, “Good she didn’t get in the elevator, that is a mean dog.”  

I do not want to get mean at old ladies but my question to her is why are you going up the “Dog Elevator” if you are not doing your laundry or have a dog or care for dogs? 

This old lady has a bit of a mouth on her and well I guess you have to just let people like this go. Its as if there are some people out there that feel they own the world.  

I ended up talking to the owner about this to stay away from this woman because you do not want trouble and well the dog is really sweet. She lives on my floor and the dog always comes up running to me and always wants a good scratch under the chin. Poor misunderstood pup. 

Other Notes:  

• I think that the new Radiohead album is a classic and could be on par with the likes of Ok Computer. I think that this is Radioheads “love” album.
• My life feels really exciting right now. Going to Athens in a couple days to eat some southern food and watch some movies and in some cases it is just fun taking paths that I have not ever taken before. Maybe life just seems too “Routine” that we need to change the pace from time to time, do something wild and crazy for the hell of it to keep our minds fresh.
