I have been away too long! I missed Sandi's birthday - but did send belated best wishes. Hope she forgives me. What else have I missed? I will try to catch up over the next weekend. I have been out running a project - building 10 miles of bicycle trail. I love getting out of the office again for weeks at a time! (except for missing out on allyaws posts)
The wildest thing happened while constructing the subbase for the bike trail. I had a bulldozer cutting subgrade down this old abandoned railroad right of way, when we found this subterranean cavity.... kinda like a cave. Anyway, the dozer broke thru and a big hole was uncovered. After shining a light into the hole, I got some rope, tied it off to the heavy equipment and then climbed down into the hole. Yes, of course I checked the air quality first and took all of the appropriate safety precautions, including standby Scott air pacs, lights, ventilation fans, hard hat, steel toed boots, safety glasses, goggles, fluorescent vest, safety harness, fire extinguishers were on standby just in case and of course ... two days rations of food and water.
Anyways, after I climbed down into this huge cavernous (is that redundant?) hole, I saw these weird shapes moving around. But they weren't actually there. Well not physically anyhow. But you could see them. And they moved around a lot. They were kinda dark, and shaped sorta like humans, but oddly distorted. Their faces had no features, but you could tell that they were of a human origin. They didnt seem to be clothed, but were kinda bulky looking at times. Then again sometimes they were long a skinny. We took a lot of measurements and tests were performed. We had to quit that part when it started getting dark, as they just disappeared and our testing equipment couldnt detect them anymore.
The next morning, we all gathered around the top of the hole again, and the shapes were back! With the sun shining so brightly, the shapes were very easy to see! They just kinda danced across the bottom of the pit, waving their arms and stuff. At times, it seemed as if they were imitating the guys that were standing around on top of the hole, looking down. I swear it was just like monkey see... monkey do. . . . . or shadow boxing... go figure

Who is Orrin?
dont be skeierwewd (did I spell that correctly?)
Well, Sarah; I cannot get a commitment out of our "elder" sister Gail, and as she was the only reason that I was driving, I will likely book a flight to Memphis and drive over fromt there.
I hope that yaw have a wonderful father's day! if not, it is your own fault ^__*
Orrin
oh, and in the words of my brother...." Move along, there is nothing to see here".
hmmm, no nibbles eh?
Orrin, Are you sure your sister won't be able to make it in, or is she just undecided? Well, I sure would like for everyone to make it, but I know there will be some that won't be able to. I'm glad you are still making the trip. Too bad your wife and the girls can't all come. I would imagine your girls aren't too interested at their age! Maybe once we break the ice this first time with everyone, we can all visit more often. That would be great!
Any way, with a mere 20 days left...who ever is coming, needs to get some plans made!
Sure hope to see you all real soon!
Love, Sandi
