Saudi Tag

Saudi Tag

When we lived in Denver we were at a playground one evening playing tag with our children (Rob, and Ali) they were a lot younger then. We looked up and saw an Arab family watching us and I figured they had no idea what we were doing.

I went over and asked if they wanted to learn, and we wound up teaching them how to play freeze tag, with electricity. If you never played yourself, here is what we did, the swing and playground equipment was base, if you were touching it you were safe, if you got caught by the one who is it, you got frozen where you stood unless a group got together and someone was touching base you could link up and rescue the frozen one by having "electricity" pass from base through the people holding hands or touching somehow, bringing base to the frozen person and un-freezing them. We played with them for a while and then left.

The cool part of the story is a day or two later we were on another walk and saw the same family playing freeze tag at the same park. I like to think we introduced freeze tag to Saudi Arabia.

Bigfoot in my front yard!

We were packing our van to go set up a tent for an upcoming auction when I looked up and saw a big tractor trailer backing down my street. Now that is something that doesn't happen every day all by itself, but while I watched I noticed that it had Bigfoot on the back of the truck. The big tractor trailer parked across the street from my house and Bigfoot hit the road. There was a Dare event at the park and the tractor trailer could not make the turn, so they just drove here. Watch the car that goes by right as bigfoot is at the stop sign, imagine what went through their minds! We are gonna die!!!!!
