Brief and scattered
We are back from Montreal! We have grass over a foot long in the back yard and no functional lawnmower -_- We're hoping a kid will come by and offer to mow it for $10, and then maybe next week when paycheques come in we can afford to buy a new mower. But at least we might not need a new dishwasher quite yet. It stopped working yesterday, so, with the help of the internet, we dismantled the door, unplugged and replugged the control board for the keys, and lo and behold, it worked again! ...Until this morning, when it had stopped working. So Steve did the whole process again, and now it's ... working again, sort of? Fingers crossed that it stays fixed this time.
There's a carnival next to my office! It set up yesterday and started operating today. We can watch the rides from the window. People are planning to go get carny food tomorrow at lunch, nom. We discussed regional differences in dippy dogs/corn dogs/pogos, and apparently somewhere there's a place that makes them with sausages dipped in blueberry pancake batter. The only way that could be better, we decided, was if it could also be wrapped in bacon.
Some Arthurisms:
One from while we were away - we were getting ready to play a rousing game of Uno with friends in Montreal, since it's a game Arthur is very capable of playing, and its randomness means he actually wins from time to time. Trash talk is, of course, to be expected.
Steve: I'm going to crush you like a bug!
Arthur: Well, I'm going to beat you like a midget and seven ounces!
Everyone: ....?
And one from today, when we were discussing whether Jello is a solid or a liquid or in-between.
Steve: How would you tell the difference between a solid and a liquid?
Me: Isn't it whether it takes on the form of the container you put it in?
Arthur: Or you could drop a one-inch tungsten ball into it.
Us: ...
Arthur: And see if it sinks.
