Things you learn away from computers, part the first

Thoughts and lessons learned upon returning from a cottage trip, in no particular order:

When an axe isn’t available, a 20 pound sledgehammer is a decent substitute for making big wood into little wood.

I can work out 5 days a week and I’ll still break several parts of my body within 5 minutes of running through a forest.

I seriously suck at Balderdash. Seeing as only two people chose my definitions in the whole game, I really could’ve gone with my first instincts involving the word “fart” every time. Cool points to me for knowing what “agitprop” was though.

Two days is all it took for me to lose my resistance to city allergies. I’m sniffling and snorting like you wouldn’t believe tonight. Oddly, I felt amazing surrounded by strange flora and fauna.

After popping in for surprise visits to each parent only to find an empty house leads me to the only obvious conclusion – my parents are super secret agents for some government agency that doesn’t even have a name.

When there’s only one heater and two cabins, a good lesson in sharing would be to put everyone in the same cabin. A better lesson in sharing is to take the heater away so the other people can learn the lesson that sharing makes you really cold.

Dinky Twigs is a one legged bounty hunter who will never be as cool as Boba Fett. He makes some money on the side by giving speeding tickets to out of towners who probably won’t come back to defend the ticket. This might just be the funniest thing ever, but it’s hard to back that up with facts this far after the fact.

Jokes about one legged people become a lot funnier when you can’t walk. (I’m better now)

There’s a possibility of a photo or two to replace the angry ball of science, but I’m in catchup mode for now. ‘Night all.
