Deadwood

Cindy from Cindy's Clipboard made a road trip across the United States. I am sure they did not make the 5 day drive from Hell that haunts my dreams from childhood. A journey involving 5 yelling, sticky, bored and restless kids and one almost psychotic Mom. She made that trip with as little stopping as possible in a mad dash to Oregon. We were packed with junk food, comic books and a will to live. Trip highlights included: seeing Mom sobbing at a rest stop, running out of clothes and sharing pants to get to a bathroom, massive amounts of car sickness and sleeping in a station wagon at a public camp ground. Good Times.

Cindy comments and submits:

"Observed 2 blocks from the famous Mount Moriah Cemetery in Deadwood, SD.

A family of vultures"

Why I don't like taking naps on my back deck:

"Is she dead, yet."

"Not quite"

Score

- 3 overly concerned vultures on my state of repose: 3 points

Subtotal: 3 points

Creativity Bonus

For the intense scrutiny given to their next meal and because they are at least polite enough to make sure I am dead before pecking my eyes out: 2 points

Total: 5 points

Bashful Buzzard one of my favorties:
