Wed
-- 12:55a  Bed
--   6:15a  Woken by a truck backing up but I fell back asleep
--   8:46a  Up
--   9:10a  Leaving via bike for breakfast @McD: Egg/sausage burritos, 2.
-- 11:03a  Home. Total ride: 13 mi. Sitting in garage

There were three 2nd or 3rd graders in next subdivision trying to put up a 
"Car Wash" sign on a lamp post but the paper would tend to curl up.  I suggested
that they take another sheet of paper and roll it up to make it stiff, but that
went over their heads.  I then noticed that it was garbage day and someone had a
box that would be perfect support for the sign.

~~  The sign promoted 3 "mods" (modes) of service available: Easy, medium, and extreme.
They're modeling it after the car wash their parents go to, but I'm not sure what
the would do differently.

-- 11:40a  Inside after biking 2 mi; "The View"

I passed the kids again, and, while I was home, I rolled up a sheet of paper and
showed them how it was stiff, but they still didn't get it.  Of course, now that
they had the box, my suggestion was unneeded.  And then I passed the corner again
and they were gone.
