I mean it! GO HOME!

Friday, October 15, 2004 -- The Huser's dog Fudge joined me in my lunchtime hike to Chisholm. He paid no attention to shouts to "GO HOME FUDGE!" and I finally resigned myself to the uninvited company. I was worried he might get hit by a car so close to Hwy 181 but he was waiting patiently when I emerged from Chisholm. Joshua and I jump started the Mountaineer after school. The moment we connected the jumper cables - and after shutting off the alarm system - I noticed a persistent beeping noise from the cabin and discovered the reason for the dead battery was that someone had left the lights on. Doh!
