Argh! I missed a post again- but we have been crazy busy... yesterday was the last day of school, plus Charles was working all over the county picking things up for the auction, and we picked up the van... then went out for date night at El Rio (yummy...enchiladas Verde) Today, stockyards/yardsales, then off to work for him and off to graduation for me. Auction tonight in just a bit- going to be a good one, tons of stuff (including *surprise* boxlots)... and I got a bookcase at a yard sale for a song and dance. (well, actually ten bucks, but it is newish- former student of mine, reduced the price)
Anyhoo~ when we went to pick up the van yesterday (who is tentatively named 'dabus' though I also thought of Jack and Clara, and he came up with Esmeralda at breakfast this morning... so I am thinking it will be Esmeralda Dabus) anyway (that word again) we passed this truck parked in a yard. "Colossal Ear". Imagine. A sideshow attraction, touring carnivals, fairs and waffle-houses of dubious quality, offering sneak peaks at one of the hidden wonders of the natural world. A truck-sized ear. Just think of the possibilities for marketing Q-tips and ear-hair trimmers... No wonder they keep it behind a privacy fence. Would *you* want the neighbors to know that you had a colossal ear in the back yard? Just imagine what is in the shed. Seriously, where is the rest of the body? Or at least the ears-buddy, as they usually come in pairs. I really really want a bumper sticker that says 'See the colossal ear! Willard, NC'. After all, Rose Hill has the giant frying pan... it's only fair that we have our own scenic attraction.
