Well kids, the adventures continue here in the Woo. I’d like to say I’ve been out and about and beyond the 60 mile radius and over an hour away from home, but that’s not the case. Why would I want to venture out of my general area if all the material I need is right here? The universe continues to provide people, here’s what I’ve got…
1. This is why I don’t venture beyond the immediate area, the flippin weather. Made the mistake of taking a ride over the border and into New Hampshire last weekend to seek out a plant store I’d heard about. For starters, the store sucked and the youngest Kap kid almost had a nervous breakdown when taking a gander at the plant offerings. I was surprised she didn't go into vigilante mode and start stealing things off the shelves to save them. Second, we got stuck in torrential and flooding rain and thunder and lightning and flooding making for a hairy ride home. You know it’s bad when I willingly drive 10 miles under the speed limit. #miraclesreallydohappen
2. Despite the weather, white knuckled driving and the middle kid having her own nervous breakdown in the back seat due to my driving abilities, we did run across a few tid bits worth sharing with you all. Exhibit 1, best license plate ever. You and your little blue car keep being you buddy, giddy up.
3. Another fun highway find was discovered and shared by Beet this week. Exhibit 2, Beet’s text
4. So kids, I hate to disappoint you all, but I missed the rat tour in Allston last week, the tour I was most looking forward to all summer long. However, I discovered my own rats hanging out by a dumpster at a Starbucks in Brighton, so there’s that. See, even high end coffee joints have these little bastards hanging around. I have no exhibit for you as proof of my sighting, well because, I wasn’t getting out of my car to get that close to him you know? The little guy needed his space.
5. I’ve come to the conclusion that city turkey’s have come to be the new pigeon. Beside the pigeon lady in Harvard Square from a few weeks back, I can’t tell you the last time I saw a pigeon on the city streets. Instead, the streets are being overrun by turkeys. They’re out in droves and just when you think they're going about things solo, they call on their friends as reinforcements when you decide to get too close. Exhibit 3, the oldest Kap kid with his less than smartest move trying to get to know this feathered beast. The turkey wasn’t having any part of it, so he called in reinforcements. And you know those turkeys were saying, "that's right...you better run...."
6. How many Bentley grads does it take to hang a curtain? You decided, Exhibit 4, Sam and Hollander, hard at work.
7. Exhibit 5, I suppose this is a better approach than acting unhinged and yelling at people to stay the hell away from me when I’m at a stop light. I'd love to tell you where and which town we saw this sign in but I can't...my eyes were closed for most of the ride, and I was driving. Back away friend, back…away…
8. This is what happens when you rely on your sisters to help you move…exhibit 6
9. Exhibit 7, group photo of those who actually contributed to the move up and down two flights of stairs...
10. Big news....Tyler made it home from his cousin's trip without getting himself arrested. Of course I don't have an exhibit for you...he's smarter than that. Do you honestly think he'd send me any photo evidence of the shenanigans that ensued on that trip? Of course not. Here's Casey and Sam instead...
And last but not least...beware of the city turkey's out there folks, they are not joke.
Have a great weekend!
