Vulcan Over Bluetooth

-Hey.

-Oh, hey, man, how's it going?

- Ok. Yeah. Are you driving right now?

- Yep. What are you doing?

- Just out.

- Ah. You busy today? Where are you?

- We're at the Indigo in Richmond Hill. Dana saw a sale.

- Dude. That's rough.

- Does Peg want a skateboard for Christmas, do you think? Dana's asking.

- I don't know man, it's September. Richmond Hill? What are you doing up there?

- Dana saw the sale. And you know, for the girls.

- That's rough, man.

- Where are you right now? Are you working?

- Nope. I'm Vulcan. Southern Alberta, man.

- Whoa. What? Oh, that's right. Ann said you had that trip this weekend.

- That's it, yeah.

- Why are you there, again?

- My aunt lives in Lethbridge. Vulcan's on the way, so...

- Oh. Yeah. No, but, why are you THERE, in... what is it? Vulcan?

- Vulcan. Yeah. I don't know, man. They have a sign here with the same font they use for Star Trek. They're playing it up a bit. It's a county, too, Vulcan, which I didn't know. Did you know that? It's empty here.

- Oh. Yeah. No, I didn't know that. Star Trek?

- Yep. It's on the way to Lethbridge. I'm gonna stop and have some lunch.

- Oh yeah. I guess it's still morning there.

- Yyyyyyyyyyyeppppp.

- So, do you think Peg would want the skateboard? It's one of those little ones. The plastic ones.

- A banana board? I don't know, man. Maybe? Do they still call them banana boards?

- The package looks more serious than that.

- What do you mean? There's a package?

- This one has one, yeah.

- For a banana board?

- Yeah.

- How long are you out for?

- Just the weekend. How are the girls?

- They're good. They've both been sick. Summer colds. Daycare. You know.

- Yeah. Daycare's the worst...

- Yeah. Always gets them. Is Ann going to the lake while you're away?

- No, she's going to your parent's place. There's some park festival your dad wants to go to?

- And then you're meeting Dave in Calgary?

- Yep. That's the plan.

- Well, I should probably go. Dana's in line.

- Mmm, she buying a lot of stuff?

- Yeah. Just shopping for Christmas and everything. You're sure about the board for Peg?

- Yep. Should be good.

- Alright, well, have fun on your trip, I guess. Drive safe.

- Thanks buddy. Yeah, same here, man. Say hi to the girls.

-Ok.

-Ok. Happy Holidays.
