May Day

Rural driving has it's hazards and yesterday we made 'road pizza' out of a groundhog while on our appointed rounds. We decided we should probably put hatchmarks on the back of our vehicle for all the ones we take out! The poor critters should learn not to cross in front of us--they should warn their young, "don't wind up like poor Uncle Carl; he got took out by that big white thing when he was out on that hard black stuff!"

On the Road

Ever been on a bookmobile? Well, shame on you. The bookmobile is one of the great innovations of the 20th century, a veritable library on wheels which visits those among us who cannot get to a real library. Join me as I take you on an inside look into life on the bookmobile. Everyday is an adventure. Will today be the day we break down and get to ride in the big rig tow truck again or will it be the day one of our elderly patrons pulls down her pants to show us a skin problem? Will we have children climbing up the shelves to our ceiling or will we have to slam the brakes to stop for a herd of deer? This probably sounds pretty tame to big city types but working on a bookmobile is truly a joy and I hope to spread some of that with this blog.
