I climbed down to retrieve and was taking a look around down there just cause I was curious what was under the building. Anyway, I was backing up and then turned around only to find a wolf standing four feet away staring back down at me under the loading dock. Now I'm told that the wolves sometimes hide out under the building and so it's reasonable that one would show up, I just wasn't expecting it, especially in the middle of the day with a number of vehicles driving around the base. So I was wondering what to do and figured I'll just exit to my left from this little cage I've put myself in. But, there was another wolf, staring back at me. Hmm, little predicament here. I was cornered. But after a few seconds the one infront of me started making whining noises and there certainly wasn't a look of hunger in its eyes, just curiousity, and they were very brown eyes. After a minute or two it backed up and let me out and did it's little playful following game whenever I turned my back. The other one just slipped away as silently as it had appeared. So that was really cool. Friday was friday and I got into some heavy drinking. This resulted in me getting stuck halfway while trying to fit through the return book slot at the library... twice. The first time was to try and get into the library, the second time was to see if I could open the door to the library. I could not, but I did eventually get in, without any damage to anything besides myself. Most of Saturday was also gone as a result of this drinking. -Karl
