What goes on in people's heads?
This afternoon we took Ethan to Tae Kwondo and experienced two odd things:
1. One of the fathers looked at my leg and then looked at me and asked, "Was that a planned thing?" What could I say? I wish I had one of those "I'm stupid, here's your sign" comments like from the Blue Collar Comedy show, but I didn't.
Then:
2. When we left the place, next door is a self storage unit place and someone was yelling at us so we pulled up to the gate to see what was up. A couple went in through the gate to get some moving blankets left for them at the office that needed to be pick up by 5:00. When they pulled in the lot and got out of their car the gate automatically close behind them because closing time is 5:00. They were locked in the self storage unit compound with a 8ft high fence with barbed wire at the top surrounding the place. They had no cell phone and no one else was on the premise. We let them us our phone to call the office number they had only to have to leave a message. I hope they brought their supper and sleeping bags with them.

didn't they ever see Fight Club? you take one of those moving blankets and throw it over the barbed wire. problem solved.
That would have worked. I thought it would have been a treat for the kids to see them drive their Volvo through the gate.
It must have been an old Volvo. No self-respecting modern Volvo owner would leave the house without a cell phone or two.
lurleen has a volvo. no joke. its dead right now though. she's driving a spirit she paid a hundred bucks for. when that one breaks Big Boy will fix the volvo and then she will switch. The when the volvo breaks...well you get the picture.
i thought those storage places would let you get out after closing time. you just couldn't get in. at least thats how my storage place was.
