I will work for a little bit longer and then I am going to shut the office down for the day and enjoy this quiet peaceful afternoon. It is siesta time in our town, a time when all of the stores close for a few hours so the workers can go take a rest and eat some food in their homes. These towns that are small have siestas so the owners and workers can walk to their nearby flats and eat lunch at home and take naps to recharge for the second half of the day at work. The HVAC company stays open the whole time but only has one HVAC worker in the shop, while the rest of them go home for the siesta time to be with their families and pets. There are a lot of dog owners and a lot of them use the siesta time to walk the dogs around town a bit before going back to work. The heating dealership owner has a dog which stays at the business all day and doesn’t care to be walked much because it is really old. I think the dog is about 14 years old now and a walk for it consists of walking to its food bowl and walking out back of the HVAC company to relieve itself. Old dogs like that are not so keen on long walks anymore and would rather just sleep in the shade of a big maple tree outside, or even in the shop next to the big air purifier that keeps it company.
