More kid stuff

Tried something different this weekend... Wild West City.

The place is a bit run down, but the constant cowboy shoot-em-up shows kept all the kids amused. Guns, holsters, and cowboy hats are pretty much mandatory, kids can bring their own, or they are happy to sell you some.

They actually sell beer at the saloon, a dollar a cup. Oh yeah, be careful not to get shot.

What a train wreck

Sorry for the big gap in posting - kids are out of school, work has been busy, I was sick, whatever.

Uneventful summer so far. One day we took the kids hiking and playing in the water at Hacklebarney, not quite an hour away. Simple, fun trip - you should try it.

I've noticed as the temps are rising, more crazy people talking to themselves in the city. Thank goodness for my shuffle, drowns 'em out - this week it's Kid Rock, Bob Seger, Metallica, Dean Martin, GNR, White Zombie, Gretchen Wilson, and Toby Keith, mostly.

Speaking of work, it still stinks - but now the firings and resignations are kicking in...but of course, no reductions in expected output. I think this is how the unions got started...
