Dead from the cute.

[gridlore]

I just wandered out in search of chips for my taco feast (denied! All Rite Aid had was the weird flavored ones. Tomorrow I'll ride my bike down to Safeway.) Heading out, I noticed a family loading a U-Haul for a move.

Coming back, there was a little boy outside. Also a large open box of stuffed animals along with other boxes that told me they packed his stuff last. I overheard the following.

Little boy: "Is Oregon a long way away?"

Mom: "Yes, very far."

LB: "How far?"

Mom: "We're going to be driving for two whole days!"

At this, the little boy goes over to a box, gets out some books, and carefully puts them in the box with his stuffed animals.

Ded. Completely ded.

*squee* Awesome! And exactly the polar opposite of most of the kids in my family. *shakes head*

Books. Not a PSP or other video game. There's hope for the world yet! :-)

Lisa leaves the radio on for Kuma Bear when we have to leave him behind. He's listening to the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes (http://www.volcanoesbaseball.com/) baseball game right now.

Did Kuma not get his passport in time? Or was his hyper-bear-ic chamber too much to try and clear Customs with?

Ah, a clarification: We haven't left for Japan yet (we leave on the first leg of the trip at 6:30 tomorrow morning). Kuma will make the trip riding in Lisa's backpack, but without the hyper-bear-ic chamber -- we're traveling like an army on campaign as it is.

Yesterday, Lisa left Kuma at the trailer while we were at her father's house dealing with computer stuff -- the internet connection is over at his house. Lisa says he didn't care for the baseball game, because he's a Mariners fan.

Damn Californian immigrants I mean, awww.

(Actually, that was me at age 3.)
