Another storm just missed us last night, though we were treated to the light show.
Karina has been in the water with the two Jamies, two girls from near Wichita; they are having a blast.
I am reading through the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy; also having a fine time. It'll be 105 degrees today, so sitting this one out is gererally a requirement. The plan is to ride in for the midnight show of HP. Also, tonight they're calling for severe storms in the area. There is a tornado siren nearby, which makes me feel marginally better.
Around the park they are still setting up for this veterans weekend. The scene is a whole book in itself! We have nice neighbors and it is like one big, informal,family picnic. Including all of the idiosyncratic aunts and uncles. Helping to set up are a group of inmates from a nearby prison, they have been working their tails off, been very nice, and fun enough to talk with.
The park will fill up with vets from Vietnam and Iraq. Plenty of injured folks. I recall a toast my Uncle Bill made one time, very simple: "no more wars."
We leave here on Friday bound for Colorado. That'll be fine timing, as it sounds as though the weekend will be just a little nuts! I'll take a nice quiet campground anyday!
