Daily Kup (How I Spent My Reality Vacation)It was one of those crazy, active days where I did weird projects. I was hoping to hear about a short-term service job that I'd applied for but the deadline passed without a call. As Scarlett said, "Tomorrow is another day."
The garage now has switched overhead lighting, thanks to extra screws, a little ingenuity in putting three things together that weren't designed for it, and a willful disregard for the electrical code, though not for safety principles. Tomorrow, I may add another outlet for the fluorescent fixture over where the workbench will be.
Campfire Koffee
The enterprising Cub Scout was put to work today recreating one of his favorite summer experiences. Here is a corner of our backyard reborn as a family campground. T had a bit of a heavy hand with the old Roundup last month in our quest to remove the burdocks that grow seemingly overnight. The large bare patches really do remind me of Camp Trefoil in Harrisville, NY, where I spent a week of camping each year of two or three summers when I was in elementary school. I learned a lot of dirty words, an unusual explanation of sex and that lakes are cold early in the morning and slimy all the time. It was great fun and an opportunity to try out a different personality for a week. Kind of like now, really.
The terrible twosome wanted to sleep out there tonight. That lasted about a half-hour.
A Sip of Optimism

A number of them, like helping out at the upcoming Wings of the North AirExpo, sound like a lot of fun in addition to being good for the community.
