When we last left our hardy adventurers, they had left the Fortress of Arin and were returning to Arabel. They could not foresee what surprises awaited them there.
Asymptomatic
There must be intelligent life down here
Nice House
There is a guy, Scott Jones of Indiana, that has some really cool stuff in his house. Like this spiral staircase with a slide.
Playground Mulch
Late last week we arranged for the mulch company to deliver certified playground wood chips for Abby’s new swingset.
On Sunday morning, Abby woke me pretty early, and after being out at my weekly D&D game pretty late, I only had 4 hours of sleep. Berta was already outside doing weeding to get ready for the mulch arrival, and I took a few minutes to remove the fence. I had just come inside and collapsed on the living room floor, when the doorbell rang.
There was a guy outside with 7 cubic yards of playground mulch.
Exploding Sun
This astronomy class- You know, it’s not really on my mind as much as it might sound, but I’m just not doing anything else. There’s work, and there’s class. I could write about where I go for lunch, I guess, but that would be pretty short, too. Hmm. -is all very doom and gloom.
The teacher is always talking about things that cause cancer, the sun exploding, and various bad ways that you wouldn’t want to end your life. It’s all very startling. I remember a trip to the Franklin Institute with my grandfather. We went to the planetarium there for a show, and they gave us a similar song and dance. I was pretty young and I remember being somewhat upset by the whole idea. It was pretty freaky sitting in such a dark place with someone telling you that the world was going to end with the sun exploding.
