June 7

We had planned to go to the gay-parade, because we figured out it should be fun to see what kind of gays there are in such a conservative and mormon-oriented city such as Salt Lake City. We also had great plans for Matt who was supposed to dress up as a queer for the fashion show of the parade. Yet, we eventually miss all the interesting events of the gay-parade because we wake up too late, so we decide to go the the mormon temple instead and to take exctasy there while we try and infiltrate it.

On the way, however, Jeremy receive a call from Vince who lets him know that Tomatha has just killed another dog. So we immediately go back home and as Jeremy goes to look for Tomatha, he finds her in a hole chewing on the body of a small dead maltese. The family of the maltese explains that as their were walking their dog, Tomatha jumped out of the open window of the RV and immediately went to attack the dog who was held on the leash by their 3 years old son. The dad was this massive guy from California who was alternating between a friendly and nice conversation and an angry and menacing attitude threatening to kill the dog. He says that he tried to separate Tomatha from the little maltese, beating her on the head as hard as it could, but in vain, Tomatha had already killed the little maltese and was refusing to let grip on it. The mom was crying, claiming that Tomatha could have killed her son just like she killed the dog. Essentially, all the family wanted Tomatha to be killed.
The animal control arrives and say Tomatha should indeed be killed but that they cannot take her if Jeremy doesn’t want to, and obviously Jeremy does not even hesitate about this, as he cannot even conceive the idea of putting Tomatha to death. So Jeremy tries to go and talk with a member of the familiy but no one wants to talk with him. So he writes a letter to the family, while we look for a pound or any place for tamata so that we can get rid of her but nonetheless be sure that she wont get killed. This is how we find out about the Best Friends' Animal Sanctuary in Utah and we decide to go to there as soon as possible, before the animal control changes their mind about Tomatha. So we pack everything up, and we leave with a new member in the crew: Matt Twain what's your name.

We drive there all night, Jeremy wants to get to the Animal Sanctuary as soon as possible, but he somehow takes a wrong turn and we all conclude that he cannot turn around, as most of the talk during the drive was about Jeremy and Matt arguing about the existence or not of wrong-turns, Jeremy claiming that there can be no wrong turns with pigpen and Matt arguing otherwise.

Christie and Jeremy go to sleep, while Triet-ly, Matt and Lyyli decide to prove them that there must have been a reason for pigpen to take that road and consequenly start to walk around in order to explore the place. Since there is pretty much nothing around, they decide to break into the only lightened place in that neighborhood. Triet-ly and Matt try to convince Lyyli to go back to the RV to take the lock-picking tools that Jeremy has given her just after the departure and try to open up the door. Lyyli does not let herself convinced, and just check out the door to find out it was in fact already open. Matt gets scared as he sees a man inside and he starts running away. Triet-ly and Lyyli look at him amuzed, and just get into the door, and Matt follows them after a while, once he realize that running away from the man was just another way of running away from the upcoming adventure.

So we walk into what turned out to be the CHUMS factory, a place where they make really useless items such as keychains and glasses' string-holders. We run into the man that we saw, who is basically the only worker at that time in the morning as he is in charge of turning on all the machines. We start chatting with him, asking him very retarded questions, to which he gladly responds. He start sto explain us all about his work and as he shows us the factory, we propose to help him in his job. So he shows us how to use the machine and we each create a small item of caoutchouc. Then he gives us some random free samples, ie. a series of ugly glasses string-holders and key chains, and then he politely let us know that it is time we leave the premises. So we go back to the RV and we sleep in peace, proud of our little and meaningless adventure.
