Today's excitement

My brother and I went golfing today. It's the first time I've hit a golf ball in at least a year. I used to golf quite a bit a few years back so it was fun to get back out there. I didn't do particularly well, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

In the afternoon, we swung by Jay's day care center for pajama day and petting zoo day. (I think pajama day is regular thing and just happened to line up with the petty zoo.) A lady from the zoo brought in a hedgehog, tortoise, and a constrictor snake. You should have heard all of the kids scream when she took that snake out of the bag! I think I heard some of the day care center staff scream too. Jay was mighty pleased with petting the hedgehog, so it was a good day all around. I've uploaded more pictures of this to the album linked to in yesterday's post.

The big excitement for today was the big-ass "bang" my brother and I heard as we were getting ready to go golfing. I stuck my head out the garage door, took a look at the main street in the distance and saw a 15 foot aluminum tough-shed sitting in the middle of the road! Apparently it fell of the back of some guys truck. It reminded me of my biggest fears in riding my motorcycle, road debris. I get nervous when I'm riding around flatbed semis where the load is strapped down. I always imagine something rolling off the back or a tire cap coming off. That makes me nervous.
