A CCC SCANDAL IS BREWING...
If you are an avid blog reader, and Dave Ferguson's blog is a regular stop, you probably know what scandal I am talking about. Saturday evening I arrived at the Yellow Box for the 6:30 service. I pulled up behind Dave Ferguson's parked car, and noticed a new addition (as you can see below) 
I laughed to myself, and made my way into the church to ask Dave about his new addition to his car. He proceeded to laugh at me, and ask me if I was kidding. I convinced him I wasn't and he made his way outside to view for himself. Dave took a picture and made is way back inside. I asked him after service if he had found out who did this, and he had the audacity to accuse me! Come ON DAVE! I certainly would be proud if I had thought of it first, but I sadly didn't, and now for you to accuse me of this!!! I am absolutely appalled. So here is what I am asking:
1. Whoever did this, please come forward and receive a high-five from me, and your rightful recognition.
2. Dave, stop accusing me or this will get ugly... The last sticker came off easily...
3. Anyone willing to join me in this cause, please visit Dave's blog daveferguson.org and let him know how ridiculous it is for him to accuse me of such an act. (atleast if I did it I would certainly take credit for it.)

High Quality Advertising

Up the street I noticed a garage sale, and sadly I also noticed that hardly anyone was there. As I was leaving the neighborhood I noticed their sign at the entrance of our neighborhood where the speed limit is 50 mph... Any thoughts as to why the people may not have been flooding in? Its a mystery:

Did you feel the Central Plains tremble...

So at 4:30ish Lisa wakes me up and tells me the bed is shaking. Here were my possible solutions in my groggy-4am-no one should ever be awake at this time-state:
1. Low flying airplane.
2. Lisa was dreaming.
3. I was dreaming.
4. Haunted bedroom.
5. Involuntary Extreme Shaking during sleep.
6. Large Vehicle of some sort coming dangerously close to our house.
7. Lisa is crazy. (I didn't actually think this though I don't know why)
When we did wake up a few hours later, lisa turned on the television to exclaim "SEE! I knew that felt the house shaking! We had an earthquake!"
-I slept through the first earthquake in years, and it never even crossed my mind as a potential solution.
