Stuff...

In Aidan's class each child has an "ice cream cone" that is used for discipline. If they get into trouble they have to take the cherry off. If they get into trouble again, they take a scoop off and so one. Aidan, following in the grand tradition of Moesker guys, tends to get into his share of trouble. Today he lost his cherry and 2 scoops. So he had to stay in during recess and draw these pictures of what he did and what he should have done. Love the detail.... (looks like he really wanted to be inside drawing a picture....)
Today I had my big check-out ride to Abe, a city about a half hour away. Freaky... In this place, there is a centre line on the road. I still remember when they put it on four years ago, by hand... But that centre line is really just wishful thinking on the part of the local city planners (if there are such types here). The line is crossed frequently irregardless of oncoming traffic or corners. So not only was I driving a standard vehicle, a brand new Nissan Panther no less, on the left side of the road, shifting with my left hand and signalling with my right.... But there's all this traffic, that doesn't obey any sort of traffic laws, to stay in constant awareness of. Here, when making a turn that causes you to cross the opposing lane of traffic, you have to do a shoulder check on both sides as you never know if a motorbike, going the same way as you will decided to whip in and turn ahead of you... Anyways, we made it there safely and home safely. Whew! Not sure when I want to do that again...
Hugo is currently having fun working on MAD (Mike, Alpha, Delta), one of the Cessna Grand Caravan's in the MAF fleet here. Apparently he and his gang found quite a few problems on it. That's Hugo's favourite thing, figuring out problems and how to fix them!
