Yugoslavia doesn't exist any more.

Yeah, I know. Pat had a meltdown when he found out that the map he'd memorized from the old atlas was *wrong*. Went around mumbling, "Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, AAAAAGH!" for a week or so.

Are you sure? I don’t normally keep track. I think you’d have to ask a Mod to check.

Found it on the map, there by the northwest tip of Tennessee. Is it scenic?

I keep having to stop for squirrels and bunnies when I take the kids to swim practice in the morning. They’re crossing the street from the woods to the lawns. If it was an hour earlier, I’d be dodging deer, I’m sure; Ash says we have lots of deer in our woods.

I saw quite a few armadillos dead on the way here. So those others must have been porcupines? I know I saw a few dead raccoons.

He can memorize a.list of countries I’ve been to in the last year instead. I can’t keep track of them, so it should be a.worthy.challenge.

Good idea. First, he can alphabetize them.

Swim meet tonight, just up the road by the Hemby Bridge Fire Department. I don’t have to judge until the second half, when your dad will be home to put the baby byos to bed.

Pat won a heat on Monday. He’s improving dramatically each time.

Yep. Lots of smaller critters, and some deer will find their way to the Road Kill Cafe.

How long are you staying there?
Is AR your home? Or is ID?
