    A snapshot from my life

    Sunday, as I left church, I found that one of my tires was flat. I rode the rest of the day with Isaac, intending to fix it on Monday.

    Monday, waking up, planned to go into town with Isaac. It turns out he had a flat tire, too.

    Isaac's spare tire was inaccessible as long as his trailer hitch was attached. We spent a couple hours removing bits of the truck and putting them back together, then got his tire changed.

    There aren't sixteen inch wheels anywhere, except on my car.

    Fortunately, Selby's Tire Shop had a couple used tires that fit. I spent forty bucks, figuring that new tires would be just as quickly destroyed on the country roads I live on. Plus more expensive.

    I made a gas-cap out of a bit of metal and an old inner-tube. It's for a tractor.

    Noelle called me and offered me some pears. I gave her and her husband some of my kefir seed, so they can make kefir. It is very sour kefir. I hope the pears are not sour.

    I also saw Nick and Noelle (who I just mentioned) riding bikes up sixth street.

    Since Neewollah interfered with our bible study last Friday, we planned to do it on Monday. We didn't. I think we're taking a week or two off. I don't like Neewollah.

    I heard that they've trademarked Neewollah (Trademark!). I guess that means I'm not allowed to talk about it—especially in a negative way. I suppose I should face the consequences.

    Neewollah (Trademark!) spelled backwards is Halloween. It's the equivalent of a city fair/carnival.

    I wore my coveralls all day yesterday, then hung them up over my window last night. It kept the wind out of my room pretty well.

    I was rushed to get to school this morning, and didn't do an extra-credit assignment. Actually, two extra-credit assignments. Oh, well.

    We reviewed in Psychology today. We play a game like Jeopardy (Trademark!), except that we play in groups and not as individuals. I'm on the team with the smart kids, so we always win. (Props to a certain Bethany Manyo, M.K., P.K., etc.)

    Now I'm in Geography, were we just took a map quiz. It required me to know the country names in central and south america. I think I probably aced it. Thanks, Mom.

    And now we're studying South Asia. More later.
