What I won't do to get a day off from school. Left at 5:15 a.m. to travel to Whiteman Air Force Base for NASA E-mission training. It was cool, now if I can just figure out how to incorporate it into the middle school........
Driving in the early dark around here is like a giant dodgeball game, except instead of balls I'm dodging deer, possums, skunks, etc. It takes a long time to get anywhere at 10 miles an hour :-)
So we get to the base almost an hour early and decide to look in the "giant" town of Knob Knoster for a place to have coffee. Or, THE place to have coffee, as it turns out. It was us and the table of locals/farmers, who freaked when the camera flashed to take these pics (hehe):
This was outside the cafe. Mud fountain?
Security was tight at the base. Drivers license and social required. Guess I'm "in the system" now - don't know if that's a good thing :-)
The workshop was good, but it was time to eat again. Our first choice was closed (who closes on a Tuesday for crying out loud). After laughing about this place advertising gyros, pannini, and gelatos we ended up eating here. It was good, but seriously, isn't this advertising a little ironic?
And of course, if there are
flea markets and quilt shops we brake for them! A few minutes digging through a box of buttons is never wasted:
