That's not your fountian

My home phone has not worked very well for six plus months, I am not sure why we keep it. I finally had the phone company send a repair man to fix it, the static had gotten so bad I just unplugged the stupid thing. Well wouldn't you know it, once he got here it worked perfectly and had a flawlessly clear connection. I think this repairman was not ready to get back out into the heat, because 45 minutes later he had done nothing to my phone, but I knew his life story.

At one point in our conversation (if you want to call it that since he was the only conversing) he started to tell me as a kid he had drank out of the wrong water fountain to have his mother stop him and tell him that fountain was for Whites only and that he was to drink from this other fountain. Since I am currently reading "The Help" I found his story even more interesting. I have never visited with someone who had experienced discrimination during this time period.

Nothing profound to say, just thought the timing was perfect and wanted to share.
