Excellent point on the fingers, Steve. I hadn't thought of that! Erl, you are likely right. I forget we are a society that views interaction as an act of aggression now, even in small mountain towns.
Yes, I normally miss school times, though I tend to forget all about them, but the timing of this trip couldn't be helped unless my wife drove (which means a lot more work for her and part of the whole point of me running errands this way is she has less to do.) Hunqapillar handled great with 50 or so pounds in the back. Bulk salmon, bulk cream, and piles of others odds and ends add the poundage fast! BUt how swesome it is to be able to do this on a more regular basis. Even last year the brain had challenges dealing with the business areas. Still challenging, but I'm handling it now without getting overstimulated and having a brain crash. That sure feels amazing. Grin.
