We slept in a bit more today and headed out at 11:00 in rain. We were going up the Bow Valley Parkway, which parallels the Trans-Canada Highway to Lake Louise northwest of Banff. Instead of trying to go on the fast-paced highway, given the amount of precipitation, we decided to take the Parkway for a smoother, more wildlife-filled ride. By 11:15 we'd seen an elk eating and walking over large downed branches on the side of a steep hill. We still could not see the tops of the mountains due to
Wait … someone stole home?: I personally didn't see it. Oh well.
Sleepless in Seattle: Now Griffey apparently wasn't sleeping in the clubhouse? This is too confusing.
Saltalamacchia's Troubles: Get this: he's having trouble throwing it back to the pitcher in Triple-A. But let's give ol' Salty some slack: he's had surgery and the weight of his name on his back is probably weighing him down.

At 10:00 we left Wausau bound for Minnesota. By 10:40 we made it to Abbotsford, the first city in Wisconsin. The sky was overcast and very cloudy. We passed farms and saw various farm animals as well as various farms and silos. While different, the sameness of the road was tiresome after a while. We were surprised to see signs warning of Amish buggies, and saw a farm animal pulling a plow, but did not see any horse-and-buggy combinations then. Each small town we passed through on the route fea

What's up, Doc?
DOC? I ain't no doctor! Get off my treasure chest or you'll be needin' one! (A doctor, that is.)

I AM NOT CUTE!

1. Went to Toronto. Oh the hilarity. 2. Went to BrickFair! Hats, plushies, MOCs, oh my. 3. Traveled around Washington, D.C. late at night with Brickeens and his dad. (As well as a lot of corny puns from everyone.) 4. Survived an earthquake. 5. Waited for BZPower to return.
Well, yesterday, as you probably know, I was treated to four inches of snow to do crazy stuff in. It was the biggest non-manmade snow I've ever seen in person since a 16-inch blizzard a few years back.
We kept ourselves busy sledding down our driveway, our neighbor's driveway (they're kind of strange, to be honest), and two roads (one of which I was able to sled 20 MPH down on). We were out there almost nonstop (save a thirty-minute break) from 8:00 to 11:00 at night. On the final run, I had
I forgot to mention yesterday that my dad ran over a squirrel which was limping across the road. Another car, which passed by us, spooked it, and while he swerved to avoid it, the right front tire clipped it with a thud. Like many of its kind, it had a death wish, and we can only hope we served a purpose in putting it out of its misery. Today, we did some planning over delicious omelets. Originally, we wanted to go to Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills as well as the Badlands, but since we're
… it's that the more you feel that you are right and the support a side of a controversial argument, the more trouble you're going to eventually wind up in, especially when your side's logic is flawed and you're arguing against people of authority. It's much better to simply accept a punishment that you get and stop pushing your point that's wrong to begin with, or you'll just get sucked deeper into the muck. Once you have been proven wrong it's much better to just leave while you're ahead than
