Well, looks like the experiment was a success--and the patient lived, too.
Today was not quite as insane as the rest of the past week. The major chores that needed completing before Mike and I take off Sunday got finished yesterday. Today Mike and I went to get a side view mirror on my truck, to replace the one that has been missing since I bought it, what, 4 years ago or so? Up to now, he had not been aware that there was a race car track nearby, but NOW he knows, and we are committed to attending at least once before the season ends. Well, you gotta expose kids to culture....
Caro and I went out to a few yard sales in the afternoon. To our surprise, Maple Street was blocked off with cones AND flashing emergency vehicles and guys striding around importantly in fluorescent vests. We circled around to get to the sale we'd been aiming for, but couldn't tell what was going on from this vantage point either. Then a fellow dealer showed up, and she told us that somewhere at the center of the excitement, there was a live grenade! Just not something you expect to turn up on a hot, sticky summer afternoon in a town of only 9000 people. But then, we didn't expect to find a skeleton at a yard sale last week either....
