Hey Mister, Gotta Dam?

Iambe was back in town for either her birthday (which is today) or mine, I'm not sure. I was back at my parents house and she had come by by on her way back home. At one point she asked me if I wanted a dam that she had control over from back in the days when she worked in the logging industry. It sounded like she was giving up investments here or something and was offereing me something. It sounded good so I said yes, I mean, owning your own dam right? Gotta bring in money. We talked a bit and it sounded the catch was that it was being shut down, or before any money could be made it had to be shut down, and I had to handle phone calls from people, look up phone numbers in a computer system, and tell them something based on that. I think in the end my parents (rightly) threw up their hands and went "what's wrong with that boy" and I decided to try it a couple of weeks before saying yes or no.

Fast forward to me heading to Silverstr's house (not where it actually is of course) and waiting for him to get home in the middle of the night. I stood on the front steps and watched his TV through the window, changing channels with a TV clicker that seemed to work. I remember thinking that this might look a bit suspicous but as long as I wasn't in the house I would be ok.
