El Chupacabra
Been a busy few weeks. I have straightened our garage, put together the toddler bed, painted the office, put together a gazebo for the back yard, mowed and edged, Set up a new shower head and faucet, and weeded and trimmed under the big sycamore tree out front. I did all these tasks while Kristin and Parker visited with her parents, and yet still only just managed to finish in time.
Did I tell you all that Kristin might have seen El Chupacabra? It was on the way back from the 4th of July fireworks display in Alachua - a lackluster affair that seemed to have no end (every time you thought it was over, it was just some interminable delay in the display) and that had to compete with a very impressive thunderhead directly behind it. Miraculously, we got out of the traffic snarl with little fuss and were halfway back to Newberry when Kristin said she saw some sort of animal on the side of the road that seemed to be covered in black fur and just radiated evil. It was funny, because we were just talking about the Chupacabra at work. Coincidence? I think not.
