Just another day in Oz

Sobriety checkpoint on the way up the mountain – one of only 5 cars during a 1/2 hour drive; if i’d been drinking i never would have made it up the mountain; 0.05 percent alcohol level here in australia.

Rush to IGA grocery store to make it there before closing on a wednesday night – at 7pm!

“That was awesome” – one of Erin’s friends looks and sounds just like Sid the Science Kid.

Python in the driveway; magpie attacking Heather; bee chasing Heather into Landon’s room; possums mating or killing each other (might sound the same) on our rooftop; Huntsman spider in the bathroom.

Outback Jacks Restaurant is not Outback Steakhouse. Both steakhouses but the one here has a $25 hamburger and the food’s crap.

Mexican food in Australia? Had a $24 chicken burrito a few nights ago. It was baked, filled with chicken and mashed potatoes, covered in tomato sauce, with a garnish of almonds. WTF?

Mouse climbed out of the vacuum when Heather turned it on. What a shock I suppose. Made it home in time for a comforting hug and later with a mousetrap. Us: 1. Mouse: 0.

Magpie dive bombed Heather's head the other day while she was walking in the park. Turns out it's a notorious bird that has done this in the past. Makes us feel a little better I suppose.

  1. What a random assortment of thoughts with no congruent flow whatsoever but gives a nice summary of what the heck has been happening.
