The Arrowhead Water guy who delivers our fresh water and takes the empty bottles just stopped in for his bi-monthly delivery. Then he abruptly announced it’s his last day on this route and we’ll have a new guy next time. He could see I was upset but assured me, “Javier we’ll take real good care of you, ma’am.” It’s always a sad day when a delivery guy you’re attached to decides to jump ship. It’s also a sad day when you realize people who don’t know your name have started to use the term “ma’am” when addressing you. I always offered him snacks and in exchange he brought us free Perrier. Of course it’s going to be hard getting used to someone new but sometimes people are meant to come into your life, make an impact then bolt - for another truck route. I guess we’ll always have the common bond of over-priced water with traces of plastic and other toxins.
