Joys of Small Towns

For the many visas I will be getting over the next couple of years, it was recommended that I have a few official birth certificates on hand. I was at the County Clerks office doing this when their phone rang. Then they handed me their phone. On the other line was a friend I hadn't talk to in a while. Apparently the lady at the County Clerks Office recognized me and knowing I was Mary's friend, text her to tell her I was in town, at which point she called. So next week Mary and I will have lunch.
