BBQ seems to be the official past time around here. And there is a house near the logging plant that has no residential neighbors so the music is turned up. A famous DJ from Tokyo moved here about a year ago so he's the official music man with fill-ins from The Rufus and Yu. It's good times for everyone, even with a little dancing. And... wait for it... the food is fine. Aren't you surprised?
The real story is Hopper and Ira. They are some kind of dynamic duo. They found a gargantuan earth worm and the rest of their day revolved around holding it, poking it, flinging it, running from it, running with it, fighting over it, and then cleaning it. To death.
It was a bit of an albo-gator situation, it had to take one for the team. They were in heaven for hours, totally concentrated, and having little boy conversations about what to do. My heart bled for the thing, and then I had to realize that part of being a kid is playing with worms and such. I mean, I would dig em up, put em on a hook, and catch fish. So I told myself after explaining for the umpteenth time to be gentle, that they just had to be little boys, on a mission to "care" for this poor lifeless thing, pouring bucket after bucket of water on it. They really were trying to be nice. To death.
