Someone vandalized the school bus used to take kids to school? How sad....

Hey Groove,
You and Janet are givers as that is admirable. I have learned that vacation is not whole without some giving back. Respect man. And respect for getting up that early after a late nighter. I did the same thing to Pooper on this last trip where she had to get up and do a spay and neuter clinic after a late night. Not sure how she pulled it off as the next day was ROUGH for me. But she did and came back to Seastar beaming. Thanks to Seastar for providing an awesome driver. He took us to Summerset, dropped her off, took me to the beach, and checked in on her throughout the day to make sure all is good. He took my cell and reached out when he was ready to head back with her.

" I have learned that vacation is not whole without some giving back" I hear ya Booger and agree !! Groove asked us for a couple days before we went home to go with him to St Anthony`s kitchen but we never really committed ( 6am wake up ) maybe played a roll ( shame on me ) giving back will be a must do for us in November.

Janet had a little trouble at the school that I didnt know about...she told me about this later at Drifters when we saw Joan again..there were a couple older guys that were in the yard...one came up to Janet and told her he didnt have any underwear on and then showed her...he asked for money and when she said she didnt have any money on her, he told her he put a curse on her and she would die tonight...when Janet told me this (5 hours later) i tell Joan about it..she says the same thing happened to her this morning and the guy was later arrested...good news is she made it through the night...lol...
