Another weekend is histoire!
Yet another day where we didn't end up doing anything like what I thought we were going to, yet a pretty good one all the same. I got some stuff done, found a $100 paperback in a box of books I was listing (Barboza, hitman true crime bio) and had fun watching the first episode of Storm Stories' Hurricane Week with Mike (and later Queer As Folk with Caro). I dropped a lighthouse on my toe, which hurt a lot so I had to make a new batch of Green Stuff, and I dispatched five mice (so far today) in our never ending battle for truth, justice and no mouse poop in the towel cabinets and dog food can.
One of our plans this summer is to do more inexpensive fun family stuff together. I have stumbled across a stunningly apropos resource HERE:
http://www.flypower.com/index.html
Go. Look. Be stunned like me.
For those who are click-away wary, I'll give you the short version. This web page will sell you a kit to make two teeny paper airplanes, which you power by catching flies and gluing them to...something which lets the flies fly the planes around.
OK, probably at least someone reading that said, "Oh! Cruelty to flies!" If you really are upset, I apologize. But since I do my dead level best to kill them by the thousand all summer long, living in the country in a fly-permeable house as I do, I would be a hypocrite to act like I treasure their little speck of bio-animation like my own here in the beautiful circle of life.
Also from what I read on the instruction pages, you can clip off the bit of paper they are attached to and set them free when you are done with your Fly Air Show, if you want.
I'll let you know how it goes!
