I almost got stuck in the mud on Mulberry Road today. So if I were a horseshoe, or a hand grenade (or a large cattle for that matter.) I think I would have gotten stuck. I thought I could make it through the first spot of mud and water...opps. So I had to rock the Jeep back and forth and almost overheat the engine (I would have been in real deep shit if that had happened) trying to get out. After I got out of the mud (it took close to ten minutes) I had to shut it down for a while and called Andrea and she just yelled at me and told me not to break the Jeep. Luckily I didn't and it is alright, I think...it seemed that way on the drive home. :o) However, it was fun irrelavent to the fact that I almost lost my Jeep.
On a lighter note...I got softly rearended today after work (it just wasn't my day to be in a car!). I was stopped waiting for a car two cars in front of me to turn left and then I see in my rearview mirror a lady coming up quickly and then she slammed on the breaks in time to hit me and break both of her headlights and denting a part of her hood. The 'damage' to my Jeep...a small scratch on the bumper...hehe.

I got shot!
Fear not constant reader, I am not dead, or in the hospital. In fact, I am not even injured. I got shot at work. That's right, we have gunfights and I was at the wrong end of a double barrell 12 gauge shotgun yesterday. Safe to say, I prefer to be on the other end handing out the punishment, but it was fun to 'die' for the enjoyment of our visitors.
Speaking of visitors and work, it is looking quite grim for Cowtown Museum. Our board of trustees is having an open meeting on Monday after work to talk about it. I'm thinking it will be very tense and very long, but I'm going. The rumors are flying more than shit in the monkey pen at the zoo. Some people say we're closing before the end of the season, others say we're closing for a year starting at the end of the season, and others are saying someone is going to come swooping in and save Cowtown. Personaly, standing back and looking at the situation, I think they'll close it down for a year. Sad to say, but Wichita is not going to come out and support the museum. People that come out say that they want us to stay open, however, they aren't in the majority. And as we all know, the majority wins. The majority wants to be entertained by rides and flashing lights and 'fun times'. They don't want to walk around a museum and learn something on their vacation. GOD FORBID!
