Thursday - 10-01-09, Spooky has passed away.

Well, today started off as a normal day. There wasn't anything different that happened until I went up to Troy's office to drop a note on his desk. While I was up there Dee told me that if anyone asks we only have two bears now. The one female, Spooky, died last night.
The strange think is up until today I never knew her name. I knew the male was Butch, and the one female was Sally. But I never knew the other female's name. I also wasn't sure which one was Sally. I found out that the one whose hair looked a little clumped or matted was Spooky. So as Dee put it, "she is now in bear heaven."
I got everything set up pretty quickly, and decided to do some cleaning that needed to be done. I noticed that things were still covered with dust from when Rich power washed the awning. So I cleaned all that up, which took me up to time to open the stand. I figured today was a good day to do it since I figured it wouldn't be busy.
While I was catching up on Heroes on my PDA I only saw three families go by. Two were moms with their kids, which are here almost every day. The other one was a dad with his kids, none of which stopped. Seeing people before 11:00 sometimes is a sign that I will be busy, but not always.
I got a surprise around 11:30. Troy came in to talk to me about the note I gave him. He said he was very impressed by the way it was written, and he gave me a "thank you" PAM for writing it. He told me that he would work with Harry to try to solve some of the issues in it. He also said he didn't realize that there was such a problem with theft, and they would come up with a way to correct that for next year. So we'll have to see what happens.
It was kind of a slow day over all. I did get my normal rush while trying to preclean. I made about as much on average as I did all week so far. I got home, and didn’t really have much to do. My plans were pretty relaxing, just sit and watch TV while reading, which is what I did. :)
