Parents: he said he's not down there to give medical aid....this just happens to be a fairly new va facility that the government had shut down 4 and a half years ago (a budget cut). He said it is an awesome place....has 60 rooms that can hold 3 people each, or 4 if they are family......he is helping refugees sheltered there with whatever they need.....they are called "residents" and he is "staff"......
Parents: it's basically a homeless shelter.....
Parents: he said there are all types of people there.....some are very grateful for anything they do for them and others aren't so much....some have addictions and spend all their time trying to get different drugs from the staff by playing sick or in pain.....dad wore his buzz lightyear scrub yesterday and a little 8 year old boy started calling him Mr. Buzz...he told him he would have to wait til he gets back to the shelter from school to see who your dad is today....he's gonna wear the Nemo one with Marlin on it....so tell aunt juju that her idea was great, even though she probably didn't know it at the time she bought it...
Parents: some of the residents must not have indoor plumbing where they evacuated from, cause they keep plugging the toilets and some of them just do it to be mean
Parents: but your dad says for the most part this is an awesome experience
Parents: he bought a white tourist trap t-shirt and is having everybody he works with sign it before they leave, so he'll have a momento of his time there....and he's eating up rolls of film taking pictures of everybody
Parents: he took his blood and gore album [this is what we call his hunting and fishing brag book lol] down there and it's been all over the place....the other there are just in awe of his hunting and fishing
Parents: we all KNOW who's idea the alaskan fish feed is
Parents: never mind i have to figure out how to get 150 lbs of salmon and halibut boxed up and out to fedex by tomorrow morning
I miss the guy!)
