Out Ioway

My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of Heaven and earth,
He will not let your foot slip-
He who watches over you will not slumber.
-Psalms 121:2,3

Ok so I'm leaving this post in my defense of "who is sleeping most of the afternoon away on the couch? A: Her roommate, Heather." Now see... it's not my fault that everytime I was awake we were being attemptedly plowed over by big trucks. I found sleeping to be the best idea for the safety of us for the ENTIRE trip, AND it's especially not my fault that when Ardith walked into the Iowa farmhouse that she was requested to fix the ENTIRE Iowa network, I even heard something about Philladelphia traffic lights. Due to the recent trip and the attack of the killer trucks I thought my sleeping on the couch would help Ardith's quest for world peace. Sorry this post is so long but I had to prove my point and defend myself well. Heather
