End of the Week (Happy birthday, America!)

Thank you, all... FOR COMING TO MY BIRTHDAY!!!!
(Louise and Alicia will give you one dollar (between us) if you can guess where that's from.)

So, it's been more than a week, and here is our long anticipated second post. Here goes...

Louise had a pretty interesting weekend. She experienced her first Kearny monsoon power outage. Apparently, they're quite common. It was pretty exciting, as it let to several potential problems, i.e. a body getting too warm in the mortuary, and a viewing conducted by candlelight. Luckily, Lance's dad had "chewed out" the power company, so they were powerless for only an hour.

Oh, and Louise also tried out the Wii Fit. It was amazingly awesome. And she looked like an idiot doing the hula hoops. A video will be posted as soon as someone is willing to record it.

Alicia's weekend was definitely not as random as Louise's, but it had its moments.

Thursday evening, Alicia and her mother ascended to Vernon. They arrived around 12:30. As a result of arriving late (or early, depending on whether you are a pessimist or an optimist), Alicia slept in and was unable to help at the ranch.

Instead, she watched movies.

The next day, however, Alicia woke up bright and early and had the pleasure of watching people burn the flesh of cows and castrate them in the most disgustung manner.

During lunch it began to P-O-U-R like crazy! It was freakin' awesome!

When Alicia returned to Vernon, her father taught her how to drive his jeep. Sunday, the last day in Vernon, Nick (the new Conrad) and Alicia went cruising in her father's jeep in search of the Mineral (pronounced "Min-er-AL", not "Min-er-UL") and the cave. The cave was extremely muddy and wet. They both got completely covered in clay-like mud and used the freezing cold mineral spring water to get it off their shoes and hands.

Nick was excited because he saw a buffalo (black cow) and bunnies (jack rabbits)!

When they got back to Vernon, Alicia, her parents, and Nick all packed up and headed back to the valley.

Here's a hint if you still want that dollar: [regarding the physical deformities of Prince Gerhardt] Most people in his situation would be angry with his family for the centuries of inbreeding, but not Gerhardt. He's too busy trying to stave off infection.

So, yeah, that's the end of our post. Did you like it? Are we still cool?
