Dead Weight

One of the requirements for my COTA/L degree is to complete a 1 credit PE class. Easy enough, right? Only one hour, once a week. After talking with my advisor I decided to take the class next semester. However, after a week of classes, I'm thinking about making an appeal to the college; you see, I feel as though I'm getting my fair share of physical education this semester......7 credits worth, actually. Let me explain.......

Take this stack of books.....

...put them in this book bag...

...and this is what you get...

27 pounds!

It only took me the first 7 hour day of school to realize that I was getting plenty of physical exercise without the class :-) What do you think?

Back Porch Viewing

When you visit my grandparents house you often have the privilege of sitting on their porch while watching some sort of wildlife in their backyard. They often have deer, and sometimes turkeys wandering through their yard. Its very peaceful sitting there just watching; you can hear the drop of a pin.....





However, travel about 20 minutes west, and this is what you will find:





Oh no, we don't often have deer in our yard, and I don't think I've ever seen a turkey out my window. However, since two of our neighbors happen to be farmers this is the animal life you find in our yard......

Not quite as calm or peaceful. You can't hear the drop of a pin over, 'chomp, chomp, snort'. And if dad finds them in the yard, you can guarantee that he'll go running through the yard screaming something-or-other trying to get them to stop eating the apple tree. :-)
