Spring Break Is Over

Well, it was fun while it lasted! I spent most of the time just by myself at the house. Although I did start a new exercise program with Anja.

One day, I biked her out to the Glacier, and we were going through the trails, but I decided it was about time to be heading back. This was because of the wolf in Juneau. The community has named him, Romeo. In case anyone is wondering, his mate is stuffed and in the Glacier Visitor's Center. Her name was Juliet. Anyway, I thought that it probably wasn't a very good idea to let them "play" together, so we left before it got to be the size
of a silver half dollar at arms' length.

General Conference was definitly a fun way to end the break. After all, I did spend a couple lazy hours in front of the T.V. before then, watching... "What Not To Wear". Ha ha, just kidding.

So, with school starting again, it means a fresh start for the fourth quarter. It'll definitly be easier than the third quarter. Juneau still has a little more than a foot of snow just along the banks of the road and sidewalks. However, today is the third sunny day in a row with no clouds! You know it's Spring when the kids start to play in the middle of the small streets again. Hope everyone is smellin' the flowers!

Roadkill

So, today at dinnertime, we were talking about unfortunate animals that get run over by cars. We talked of stupid rabbits that have a "high" year every 7 years, and there are many that get run over, and how the ravens that people call stupid are actually pretty smart, and are harder to run over than, seagulls, for example. Well, I was reminded of a story that I heard from church a while back. For the sake of privacy we'll let this person's name be Sally.

Sally was on a over-night road trip somewhere down south to visit family. As she was driving, she felt a large bump on a smooth road. "Hmmm..." she thought. But that was it, and she kept on driving. Not 5 minutes later, she felt another rather large bump for the seemingly smooth road. Sally wanted to get to her destination on schedule, so kept on driving. After another 10 minutes, she saw a car that had pulled off to the side, taillights flashing. So, Sally pulled over to see what the problem was. The driver was out whistling as if to call something. Sally then proceeded to ask if she need help, in which the driver replied, "Oh yes, thank you. I've lost my dog!" Sally said that maybe they should go back the way they came to find it. Later down the road, they found the dog. Roadkill. "Ohhh, that's too bad," said Sally. She left immediately, for she could feel herself blushing. However she wondered what the first bump was, and found a raccoon. Roadkill.

Well, Dad had to tell another more gruesome story to top mine, so he proceeded to tell me about when he was driving the city bus. Apparently, the front of a bus has a lot of suction, much like an airplane engine. Anyway, he ran over a dog, and it went shooting out of the back of the bus through the air 30 feet, and went "Splat!" on the ground.

Haha, well hope I've been able to gross you all out. Have any good ones yourself? I'll be in the bathroom... spewing 30 feet.
