Over weight… the tour continued...
Not me, it was my travel bag. We did quite well on our tour avoiding this shop and that. The days passed without purchasing a lot of STUFF for the home folks… then on the last day it hit us. What about cousin Ralph and brother Waldow? Yeah, yeah, it was nick-knack time.

Even in our little tourist town we have junk shops full of Native American take home STUFF all made in China. It’s for all the Illinois and Iowa folks to purchase and place on their mantels in the heartland.

So now we have a curved Tortuga (a Galapagos Turtle) sitting along side other carved STUFF from our other trips (all made in China) not to mention shirts and hats and etc. That’s right, whole travel bags filled with STUFF. Somehow we got by customs and the airline weight scale… after all who would hassle two older grandparents hustling goods into the country? It was my metal knee that got the security people all upset with the bell and lights going off. It was time for a cavity check and not by a dentist. Continued…

I see it's like going to be around 0 tonight and who knew it was March? You could've stayed an extra week [weeks, months?] until spring arrived but you had "that dog", so...

Enough with stuff from the world down below - let's get back to the important things. Like the bomb that just hit Green Bay. How many Colemans are already contemplating their Packer Prediction for next season's contest?
