Something to throw the book at

Shannon and I have know for a little while now about a glaring error in the St. George phone book. It has a vendetta against Home Depot. When we moved here, we thought there wasn't a Home Depot around, because it isn't in the phone book. It turns out that it is. But the other night, we found further phone book anomalies.

We wanted to rent a movie from Blockbuster, so we checked our phone book and found 2 near by. One in St. George, another in Washington. We don't live too far from Washington, so were uncertain as to which is closer. We figured that if it was closer than the DI in Washington, that would be a good bet, so we looked up DI in the phone book. But DI isn't in the phone book. It must have sided with Home Depot in an argument once or something. So we went to the Blockbuster in St. George. But there isn't a Blockbuster in St. G. Only the remains of one. Good job again, mr. phone book. So off we went to Washington, passing the non-existent DI and Home Depot to arrive at Blockbuster. But there isn't a Blockbuster in Washington either! So apparently, here in St. G, if you want to find something, you'd better hope it isn't in the book.

When we lived in Provo I swear we got a new phone book every month. And here, not a one. The one we have was sitting on the counter when we got here. It's all or nothing, I tell you what.

You can have our latest one from Provo. We got it a week ago and left it on our porch for almost the whole week just hoping it would go away.
