Last week I bought a new pair of pants with cargo pockets. I wore the
pants to campus and had a "wardrobe malfunction". Just before
going to my first class, I stopped into the restroom, and found the zipper
a little tight. When I pulled (not very hard), the whole zipper apparatus
came off in my hand, which of course meant that the zipper was now going to
separate, with no way to re-zip it. I tried
using the stapler, but that seemed dangerous and it didn't work. I finally
settled on untucking my shirt, taking advantage of the long shirt tail.
Before my second class, Nancy came to my rescue with functional pants.
We returned the pants to the downtown store and they fixed them in a few days
and delivered them to a store in Maadi. When we went searching for the
store, we came across the old CAC campus where Nancy went to school. It
had been a palace originally before becoming the school. When CAC moved
to its new campus, the old campus eventually fell into disuse.
Unfortunately the trees have been allowed to die, and the buildings have
been vandalized and become derelict.
