Thoughts on the Day

  • Lifting 15 to 18 kindergarteners, one at a time, up onto a horse, then helping them down, is quite a good all-body workout.
  • We had to convince Boo that we were in no need of the following additions to the family today:
    • Sheep
    • Alpaca
    • Turkey
    • Rabbit
    • Chicken
    • Horse
    • Duck
  • Boo did get a thorough pat down before we got into the car to go home.  No contraband mammals or avians were noted.
  • Taking a class of young children into a corn maze means that a lot of adults do a lot of head counts.
    • Same number of children came out as went in, so I guess we did OK.
  • Girlie Bear left for a three day camping trip with her JROTC group.  Imagine 5 adults and 50 teenagers going out to a few cabins in the woods.
    • A few of these kids took more stuff with them than I used to take for several weeks of TDY or field problem.
    • I would be going as a chaperone if I didn’t have to work. I hate to pass up a chance to mortally embarrass my daughter.
  • There’s something to be said for leaning on the bed of your truck, looking at a rainstorm coming in, and shooting the breeze with your brother-in-law.

    When I went back east to help out after Hurricane Sandy, some of the nitwits who also went packed like they were going for a month in Hawaii. Hope the y enjoyed humping all that crap down the ladderway of that rustbucket troopship we were berthed on…
