Muad&#8217;Dib and I went to Casey&#8217;s for a slush, and then Sonic just for a snack. We shared some pickle tots, and I burned my entire mouth on some Ched &#8216;R&#8217; Peppers. The afternoon went by incredibly slowly in spite of how late I took my lunch break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eaddie had her first ATU band event at the train depot in the evening, so I picked up another slush on the way home, met Summer at the lube just briefly, and continued to the house to wait for her. The kids were there for a moment before leaving to get ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer got there and we stopped by Casey&#8217;s for a couple more slushes before going to the depot. The block was absolutely packed with people, and the band was huge, so there really wasn&#8217;t a good place to see everything. Summer sat with Eli&#8217;s parents briefly, but I had to walk around with Muad&#8217;Dib because he got too hot, and the band was too loud to be that close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We wandered around for a while until they started, and then stood in the heat for most of the music. Muad&#8217;Dib and I left a little early to get the car going, and then we all went back to the house for the evening. Summer and I cleaned up the ribs because the kids finished the whole hog I had left. The night seemed to drag on, so I managed to get to bed a little earlier than I had expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>incongruous<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I picked up a couple biscuits from Hardee&#8217;s on the way in, which held me over to a pretty late lunch.
