Tear Jerker
A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant lot. One day, a construction crew came in and began building a house on the empty lot.
The family's 5-year-old daughter became interested in all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day observing the workers.
Eventually, the construction crew, all of them gems-in-the-rough, more or less adopted her as a project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they took coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important.
At the end of the first week, the men presented her with a pay envelope which contained $2.00. The little girl took this home to her mother, who said all the appropriate words of admiration, and suggested that they take the money she received to the bank to start a savings account.
When they talked to the bank teller, she was equally impressed and asked the little girl how she had earned her very own pay check at such a young age. The child proudly replied, "I worked last week with the crew building the house next door to us."
"My goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you be working on the house again this week, too?"
The little girl replied, "I will if those assholes at Home Depot ever deliver the fuckin' sheetrock."

Clocks In Heaven
A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What are all those clocks?"
St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move."
"Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that?"
"That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie."
"Incredible," said the man. "And whose clock is that one?"
St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life."
"Where's George Dubya's clock?" asked the man.
"George Dubya's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."

9/11 Memorial
I was on my was to a Blackshire's meeting out at the Glen Helen Regional Park and had just turned off of the 91 onto the 15 when I noticed something. On the upcoming overpass were two firetrucks with their ladders extended up and a flag draped between the two ladders. Oh, cool, I thought, a 9/11 tribute. As I got closer, I noticed that they were actually set up so that the southbound traffic saw them. I figured that maybe they weren't finished setting up and that later they would have something for the northbound drivers. I noticed similar tributes set up on the next three overpasses also. Then my northbound traffic started to slow, and I noticed something on the southbound side. Up ahead was a line of cars with their headlights on, all in the center lane, with no other traffic around. As they got closer, I saw that a cop was leading the parade, which made whatever it was a real event. Then I noticed the second vehicle. It was one of those flatbed trucks that they use to haul broken-down semis.
This one was hauling a fire engine.
Behind it was another flatbed truck, and it has what appeared to be some twisted girders. Following behind those two were hundreds of bikers, giving escort to it all.
If you haven't figured it out, I'm pretty sure that the firetruck was this one.

Tombstone, Mescal, Old Tucson, Vidal, Earp (Part 2)
On Sunday, we headed for a quick trip over to Mescal to see some of the exterior sets for Tombstone. Unfortunately, Mescal has a very limited set of open hours - and Sunday wasn't one of them. We were really tempted to bypass the cones that blocked off the road and go in there anyways, but at the last minute chickened out.
We tried to leave Tombstone early on Monday so that we could get home early, but we didn't quite succeed. We first went shopping for a few last things in Tombstone. After two days in costume, it was nice to walk around in regular clothes. Finally, though, we got on the road. We decided to go visit Old Tucson, which is a movie studio and has some sets from the movie Tombstone. We got there with about 1.5 hours remaining before the place closed. However, we did have time to look around and take pictures. They have the church from the beginning of the movie where the Cowboys gun down the Mexican wedding party. There's also the train from which the Earps disembark in Tucson in the movie. We also ran into someone who knew Fallon and company and had given them a tour, in costume, of the place. That guy, Sean, also worked Renaissance faire. Small world.
On the way home, we decided to stop and see the towns of Earp and Vidal, which are both close to each other and near the California/Arizona border. The town of Earp (map) is where Wyatt settled for a time. All we saw there was a post office. Of course, it was completely dark at the time.
My wife thought that Vidal was the city that was for sale on ebay.com, but I've since done some research, and I think it was actually Bridgeville. But this town was another one of Wyatt Earps hangouts, so it was still a point of interest.
After all of this travelling, we finally made it home around 1am. Now we need to recuperate from our vacation. :)
