I had someone knock on my door and ask if she could mow the lawn as she was desperate for gas money. As I hate mowing the lawn and it was in need of it, I said "Sure." She didn't do the greatest job, but neither did I on my last go of it. I gave her $15 for it, which is more than it was worth, but, eh... She also took an old storage unit off my hands. I wasn't really sure what I was going to do with the thing. It was in good shape, but had been more or less useless to me for the past few years. She asked about it, and I decided someone who had a use for it might as well have it.
This was a woman who had at least two kids with her, helping and/or hanging out. It's sort of weird to think of high gas prices driving people to that kind of extreme. I mean, my dad used to get offers from 10-15 year olds to mow the lawn, and that wasn't too surprising. From someone with kids in tow it's a bit weird.

Fibonacci, minus a couch, has come back to Pocatello after wandering a bit. The couch was one his parents no longer had room for. Neither did the stairways down to this apartment. Well, one stairway did, but then the corners into the hallway were too sharp. Basically, we needed to remove a wall. Then it would have gone down there. Everything else fit just fine. Presumably he's dropped the couch off at Goodwill by now and is on his way back to Twin to return the U-Haul and pick up his car. Well, not literally pick it up, unless he'd like to add a back injury to the coolant expenses.
So... appropriate way to welcome him back... Hmmm... Darn it, I don't have any tarantulas or scorpions! ;^) I could round up a bunch of earwigs, but frankly they bother me more than tarantulas or scorpions. Well, there's this old postcard of Lava Hot Springs, which is completely irrelevant. And here's one of Pocatello...which is, at least, the correct city. Ah, here we are. An old image of ISU, apparently once called the "State Academy." Unless I'm very confused, that looks like the current Administration building, with Graveley behind it. Not nearly as much other stuff built around them then, though. :^)
