Yesterday I planned to go to Lincoln for lunch and a movie with several friends, including Samith, who I haven’t seen yet this visit. As I was getting ready to leave, Lauren told me she discovered that I had left the windows of my truck open over night.
If this were any other night of my visit here so far, it wouldn’t have been a problem, but last night, we had torrential rain. D’oh! Here was the bed of my truck:
Here was the inside after Lauren set up some drying action. She has experience because it had happened to them quite recently.
I went to Lincoln a little early so I could drive around some. In particular, I wanted to go to Hobby Lobby. It is a craft/decorations/hobbies/mirrors/fabric/etc store that I sometimes go to with Beth or Lauren when they need something. Though I never buy anything, I am fascinated by all the stuff in there. I looked around for a long time.
When lunch time came, I joined the guys at a Thai restaurant and had some tasty food. We headed to the movie theater, but not before stopping at a bar where they were intently watching France and Germany play soccer against each other. The movie was Tarzan. I liked it.
When I got back to Seward, I stopped at my parents’ house, and they were having Dave and Nancy as guests for dinner. I hadn’t seen them in a while, so I sat and chatted while everyone ate. It was delightful.
Gus’ diary, Day 10: Random comments
* So glad you phrased the dinner guest sentence as you did. I would hate to think you’d left me in the home of cannibals!
* Thai food….these aren’t the ones that claim they never serve cat, are they?
* “Tarzan”, eh? I’d heard that a distant cousin 17 times removed had auditioned for this one but didn’t make the cut.
*Did you drive around some to dry out the cab, or had the cab already dried out by the time you went to town? I’m a tad confused – but very glad you didn’t leave me in the truck overnight. Thank you for that.
Whew! Another busy day for Brad. I’m glad you got to do a little window shopping. 🙂 I see that Hobby Lobby has everything at 50% off again. (Nothing is every full price there.)
Ok, I’m off. (Tarzan yell.) Aaaa-aaaaa-aaaaaaaa!!
