Is a rutabaga denser than a potato? - if it is, perhaps we could get 125 yards out of it!

That reminds me a bit of a gal my brother dated for awhile... a divorced mom of three... she was/had been very low income. She watched as my brother brought down a couple full bags of red potatos for a day of shooting the potato cannon on the beach. Good way to entertain her kids, especially the young boy. (watching of course, they were too little to fire it)

When we started firing off the potatos, she said "But you are wasting food!

Wow, yeah we are... um... want a potato? - What do you say?

Hey, you remember that big rant I had a few days ago about people brushing their kids off on the church so they can do what they want? Well, I did it! LOL Actually, my mom's church is having VBS and she wanted them to come. I needed to bug bomb our enclosed porch and the shop (spider infestation), and so I let them go. I don't want them around when I'm shooting off poison and they were thrilled to get to go. We use the porch as a playroom and the toys are going to be contaminated now so I have to take them out and wash them after the bomb is finished working in 2 hours.

I don't know if they'll need to go back tomorrow...it's all this week. I guess if they have a good time, it's ok with me. But on the other hand, 2 VBS's in one summer seems a bit excessive...what do you think?
