In honor of Juliana's birthday, I just let a bunch of bikers looking for somewhere to park for the music fest down the street use our driveway. Then they bought lemonade from the kids next door, who have a stand set up, so it's a win-win all around.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Classic -- my mother just called and asked if I want them to pick me up, because it's so hot. I said that was ridiculous and bad for the earth, and I would be fine. She said, oh, she wasn't asking for me, she was asking for the pie I made! Hee.
