First off, I was trying to "Follow" someone's blog by subscribing to it and I accidentally subscribed to my own blog. So, now I can follow my blog for updates--how convenient.
Secondly, I had a classic Clampett moment the other day when bringing home a bunk bed set from the Goodwill store. My wife is a highly skilled Goodwill shopper and managed to find a bunk bed set the other day for the girls (for less than $40). However, it was too big for her to take home, so she made arrangements to have me pick it up later in the day.
Thankfully, my friend Carl (also known as Toni's husband and the only Bengals fan that I know--but that has nothing to do with this post) let me use his truck and I was able to get everything loaded with the help of a very friendly Goodwill associate. It was a very windy evening (I think there was a wind advisory that night) and the bed could not be taken apart easily, so I was ok with bringing it home assembled. It was a bit tall, but fit fine in the truck bed. The wind was strong enough that I elected to put my hand out the back window to hold onto the bed just in case. I drove well under the speed limit and made it home fine.
When I went to unload the bed, I noticed that there were two unattached railings (the guards that keep you from falling off of the bed) made up metal sitting on the top bed frame. THEY WERE JUST SITTING THERE--ATTACHED TO NOTHING. I cannot believe I made it all the way home, down a VERY busy street without them flying off and getting destroyed (and, perhaps, killing someone in the process).
