Note to airline: Overbooking a flight (to a tourist destination, on a holiday weekend) by 40 people is not usually a good idea.So here's our little (forced) detour...on to Yellowstone tomorrow.
This beautifully illustrated Barbie story, based on verses from the New Testament, will be a treasured addition to any child's religious library.

Walmart car guy: Ma'am, where did you buy this tire? I hate to tell you this, but it's defective. I'm afraid you got ripped off. Sometimes used tire dealers do that.
Me: I bought it at Walmart.
Me: I bought it at Walmart.
Only in Alabama can you find the TV in the car care waiting room at Walmart playing evangelistic videos.
The "extreme drought" conditions were so bad today that I had to go 30 mph on the interstate because of flash flooding.
Q: What were you doing this morning at approximately 8:11 AM?
A: Driving.
Q: Were you also talking on your cell phone, eating, putting on makeup, changing clothes, or taking out your contacts?
A: No, just driving.
Q: Did you intentionally ram into the black pickup trying to merge onto 280 going the other way?
A: Yes, it looked like a good target.
Q: Really?
A: Actually, no. I think this all had something to do with the huge house that was driving down the road right in front of me and blocking the lanes I needed to get in.
Q: So you tried to avoid the house but hit a truck?
A: Wouldn’t you rather hit a truck than a house? Actually, I didn’t see the truck. I promise I looked!
Q: Tsk, tsk. I hope this teaches you to be more careful when you merge!
A: I told you this was one of the places where I was most likely to have a wreck. Have you ever tried to merge there?
Q: So how is everything now?
A: I’m fine. I did get to sit in the back of a police car for a few minutes, along with the guy I hit. My car is beat up. And the insurance guy is a bit annoying.
Q: When did you ask the insurance guy to call you back?
A: This evening.
Q: How many times did he try to call while you were at work?
A: Six.
Q: What will you do about your car?
A: I’m tempted to leave it alone, or pocket the money. I mean, I can still open the doors! And I never use that side of the car anyway. ;) But I hear the responsible, adult thing to do is get it fixed. So I guess I’ll take it in soon. But the $500 deductible is not a pleasant thought.
Q: So what lesson have you learned from all this?
A: Try to get a job where I can work from home?
A: Driving.
Q: Were you also talking on your cell phone, eating, putting on makeup, changing clothes, or taking out your contacts?
A: No, just driving.
