Today was camping gear inventory day; my cousin and I are going for a week to a corner of Ontario, and have decided to take two smallish tents (rather than have one of us buy a larger one) and assorted other gear that will make "roughing it" a tad less rough.

Unlike our trip to Gettysburg last year, this trip will not include DVDs played on the laptop. Or electricity, other than batteries, and those only for lighting.

On review, honesty requires me to reveal that I have a bug zapper that runs on D cells, and my cousin is bringing GRMS radios. But other than that, all electricity is confined to flashlights. And cameras. And to start the car.

Geesh, we're spoiled.

Dave's Holiday

by Patty Larkin

He has the weekend off and Monday is a holiday
He drived for hours and hours to sit in a lawn chair
by the bay

Dave's Holiday
Dave's Holiday, Dave
Talking 'bout
Dave's Holiday
Dave's Holiday, Dave

He's there with a can of beer, he got his work clothes on
but he never moves
Look out, I think he's kind of weird
He's setting up a bugzapper barbecue

Dave's Holiday
Dave's Holiday, Dave
Talking 'bout
Dave's Holiday
Dave's Holiday, Dave

Has a dog without a name
Dave has a dog
But the dog doesn't have a name
Dave has a dog
But the dog doesnt have a name
So we call it
Dave
Dave's dog Dave

oh, no, well he left his chair and he's coming up the lane
Walking fast
Don't look, don't smile, don't stare
'Cause he never stops talking and we never get past

Dave's Holiday
Dave's Holiday, Dave
Talking 'bout
Dave's Holiday
Dave's Holiday, Dave

He has the weekend off and Monday is a holiday
He drives for hours and hours to sit in a lawn chair by the bay
