spring thing

I had 4 new students in my class today! Maybe spring brings people out again.

tales of the runaway bookmobile...

We got to go on the public library's bookmobile!
Pretty cool. Apparently it makes its rounds on Wednesdays, including stopping
in the Fareway parking lot.

Are we in Ames?

or...California? Current unseasonably warm temp: 79 deg.
Oh and wait, it's only in the 50's-60's in Calif right now!

almost caused an upset...

...as a busload of elderly shoppers from the Green Hills retirement home disembarked at Hyvee supermarket today... they were all coming into the entrance/exit vestibule with their shopping carts, as I was trying to exit...
In other local news, we went to our first "All you can eat" pancake breakfast... I always feel like
the next line here should be that lawyer in the episode of The Simpsons who says..."Do these really look like the actions of a MAN WHOSE HAD ALL HE CAN EAT?"... I actually don't remember why there was a trial going on in that episode, except Homer was on trial for some reason. Something about an all you can eat seafood dinner.
