Crazy Experiences

I am, of course, having some insanely crazy experiences here in Alabama. I want to blog about them all, but I simply don't have time. So, what I am doing now is making little notes about them on my pre-approach pad so that I can jog my memory and maybe write about them later.
However, I am writing this now, so I think I will go ahead and write about a few of the crazy things that happened today.

I stopped for a few minutes and watched a guy bass fish out of a pond the size of three swimming pools. He caught a bass while I was there, but he hooked the thing in its belly. He cast so hard that the way too heavy lure that he was using went straight into the water and snagged a bass in the side. It was kinda funny and kinda sad all at once.

I saw a very chubby five to eight year old boy unabashedly run out of his front door butt naked and belly flop into a 3 foot diameter 3/4 feet deep plastic swimming pool.

I did a book demonstration in a moving golf cart.

I came to an intersection that was blocked by loose cows. On one side of the road they were quickly eating someone's corn field. On the other side of the road they were eating a really nice lady's garden. I stopped and took three pictures while I waited for a couple of the cows to move out of my way in the road. No one had noticed that they were missing yet!

Those are great stories! My favorite part is the chubby boy doing a belly flop into a kiddie pool. That made for an awesomely funny picture and now the people to my left and right are wondering what my giggles are about.

Since I have been here I have seen two oddly shaved Chows (the dog breed.) One was a 'blonde' chow that was shaved to look remarkably similar to a lion. The other was a black one that was shaved so close that it looked like it was done with a razor. The dog looked really, really odd to say the least.
