Slipping by

So today was the last day of school, more or less. It's just all tests next week and Kris and I don't have to go. The scene found during the last class of the day was strangely akin to a 4th grade classroom. People were running around, throwing pieces of paper, one girl was crying cus a kid wearing a baseball cap turned around backwards had dumped a bag of crushed crackers in her hair. The mood was also strangely somber since a goodly chunk of the class is moving over the summer to Belo Horizonte. Walking home though I saw some humorous things on vehicles. The first was a car that had a sticker of some Rosary beads with the image of Mary in the middle and a few feet away was a sticker of a Playboy bunny. The other thing was a huge truck which had two big plush blanket things hanging on the inside back of the cab and the other on the dashboard so that if you were standing right in front of the truck (right before it hits you, if it's moving) you could read the words "Obrigado, Jesus" (Thankyou Jesus). I thought that was a little funny too. Oh, next weekend I got invited to go to one of the Rotarians' birthday party. It's out at his farm, which is right one this huge lake where he has a boat and a few jetskis. He also has a jeep (by this, I think he meant a 4-wheeler) and some horses. So that should be a hoot. Other than that, nothing to report.
