So after a few days, I phoned.
I found out three things.
1. They were still expecting us.
2. There was no mud.
3. Well... I'll reserve comment on this
until the next update.
Well, it’s always good to know that mud hasn’t yet arrived at the place you’ll be visiting. Although I can’t say I would ever think to ask such a thing!
(Just curious... oh, fine.
I'll even throw in some bonus points.
Who thinks that should be "Kay and I"?)
I really have never understood which is right. I can’t say ether way. Although it is “The King and I”, so if you ever write a musical about this trip, its ”The Kay and I”…
One of the best things about this place
(for those of us who don't drink beer.
Which in my family is... everyone.)
is that this place has amazing root beer.
Me as well. If someone offers me a beer I’ll drink it, but I think I’ve bought two 6-packs of beer for myself in the last 20 years. Now root beer on tap, on the other hand, sounds awesome. Unfortunately Fargo is a bit out of the way for me…
Fully sated, we headed to the bustling,
hustling International Airport.
We managed to find a spot,
right in front of the departure area!
Which, if I'm not mistaken,
was also the arrival area.
Hmmm…International Airport. I suppose they have one puddle jumper flight that goes to Flin Flon or something, so they get to call it International. I’m guessing they don’t have an A380 heading to Paris from Fargo.
I'm curious, if any of you suspect
what the likely culprit was.
I did provide a clue.
Give me your best guess
and I'll throw some bonus points your way.
You don't have to be right.
It’s been said before that I don’t have a clue, and it’s no different here. I’m the farthest thing from a mechanic that you can get (my brother is an actual mechanic and must have gotten all those genes). But I’ll guess there was something caught around the axle or wheel that somehow came off. As I said 1. No clue 2. Not mechanic 3. Wild guess.
These next photos are actually
from the next morning.
But they fit in nicely here,
don't they?
For bonus points, say "yes".
YES!
Once we were situated,
we realized that lunch,
good as it was,
was a long time ago.
(Do you even remember it?
It was so long ago... way up there! ^)
Nope, can’t find it, I guess I lost it. But I guess it’s better for me to lose your lunch than for you to lose your lunch.
Guess what we had?
No, really.
Guess.
I took a picture,
but forgot to note it.
"I'll just remember. No problem!"
Strawberry lemonade and a girly cranberry cocktail/martini thing.
One should be reminded that “Remember. No problem”…that only works for those of a certain age. I do believe you and I are past that age.
1. What time do we get up in the morning?
2. We get to the petting zoo!
How many capybaras are there?
0? 3? 6? 12?
3. Does Kay get to touch any animals?
4. Name at least one other animal
that can be found at this zoo.
(Private zoo in their backyard.
Picking capybara gets you zero points.)
5. Kay gets to feed a critter.
What does she feed it?
Hay? Corn? Oats? Fava beans? (with a nice Chianti)
6. How many hours are we there?
1? 2? 3? 4?
Bonus: Did you see it?
Try to be vague.
I'll let you know if you're
too vague.
1. 7:45am
2. 0 (I just have a feeling...)
3. Yes
4. llama
5. Fava beans (it's just so weird and random, it must be right)
6. 2 hours
