In other news, at around 3:45 we were driving down Oklahoma Ave when a postal vehicle refused to let Lisa change lanes for nearly a block, speeding up and slowing down to keep alongside us. This fine Federal employee then flipped us the bird and soared through a yellow light. My tax money at work. Postal Vehicle # 1260902

Lisa and the three youngest are at a school dance for grades K-5, while YaYa and I are home watching the great horror film "You're Next" (my second viewing). From what Lisa just texted, the kids just danced the heck out of "What Does the Fox Say?"
