Shortly after yesterday's flurry of excitement, I see blured kids through a school bus window
Saturday, November 13, 2010 at 12:19PM ;)
I came upon a bit of excitement yesterday, a bit after noon. I photographed it, alright, but the only image that I am going to post today is this one, taken shortly after the excitement had ended, about two miles away from the scene.
Actually this was pretty exciting too, and Kalib would have really been excited if he could have been with me. "Bus!" he would have shouted. "Bus! Bus!"
Kalib just loves school buses.
For now.
As to the big flurry, I will wait to post my documentation of it until Monday. I wait because the number of visitors to this blog tend to fall down a bit on weekends and so I will save it for Monday, when those readers who disappeared to recreate or whatever come back.
I will give you a few clues as to what the subject matter might be:
You know that most days when I am home, I stop at Metro Cafe and then go driving on roads that this time of year can be icy. I often see trucks on those roads, even Kenworth trucks, and I pass horses and sometimes, even people riding horses. Sometimes, perhaps, there could even be a famous person riding a horse and I might not even know it. You know, too, that I took this blog to India for Soundarya's wedding, and found that the highways there can be very scary, and you know that just last week, all the major news and propaganda networks were also busy in India.
So there you go. With clues like that, you should surely be able to guess what yesterday's flurry of excitement was all about.

nope lol, i guess i have to wait till monday ;)
I seldom post here but visit often. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy it. It is so interesting and I love the pictures. I especially like watching your little grandbabies grow(I have a 25yo unmarried son so I have to wait for mine!). It looks like you have a really nice family and I know you must be proud. Thanks for sharing.
President Obama flew in from India to Wasilla and decided to stop into the Metro Cafe for a quick cup, having heard so much about it from Bill Hess, but it was icy and the limosine pick up that we saw just a few blog posts ago, slid once again, and was sideways in the road. That's it, isn't it? I'm right, aren't I? The president came in and visited with you, talking about important matters like fine black cats and school buses.
twould be interesting to know how people find your blog, bill, like sally from TX. i found it when i googled 'mother of the groom dress.' and of course i'm clueless about who came to town. hey, how did you like the new clint eastwood film starring matt damon? reviews were good.
Excellent guess Debby!
Ruth Deming:
This blog is mentioned on some AK blogs I read but I actually found it through google. I can't remember exactly what I googled but "Wasilla" was part of the search. I've been following it ever since. It may be what actually led me to the other blogs. It was a long time ago, it seems now, so I can't exactly recall but I really enjoy it.
I know......A friend of mine is friends with her and posted on her Facebook that they had lunch at Metro. Small world. isn't it?
I know, I know!! A little boy, a snowmachine, a truck and a helicopter.....
Wait, I take that back, looking at the time and date of this post...I think that incident happened about the time you posted this blog, so I think I am wrong, ooops!
Twain - Monday is almost here. In fact, back where you are, it is here.
Sally - Thanks for the encouragement, and now I will give you some. It took us an awfully long time to get grandkids. It didn't happen until our oldest three were all in their 30's. Given the fact that we have kids, the youngest ready to turn five, you would think that we would have more - but we all truly enjoy the two we do have.
AkPonyGirl - It is, and I would never have expected such a thing to happen. After I post this, be sure to send your friend a link.
Debby - As Michelle says, that is a good guess. You just might be right. We will find out tomorrow.
Ruth - It was the first movie Margie and I had saw in a long time - and I did enjoy. A very different kind of movie for Clint Eastwood. Who could ever have foreseen it? Perhaps he got to wandering whatever became of all those souls The Man With No Name and Dirty Harry sent into the Hereafter.
Lisa - Now you've got me really curious about this little boy, snowmachine, truck and helicopter...
Bill, if you look online at the Frontiersman they have an article posted about the truck vs snowmachine that had a young boy on it. I didnt realize until after I posted yesterday that the incident took place in Palmer.
Now am I really curious to see what story you are going to post!
You saw the wonderful and beautiful Lisa Kelly.
I will not only send a link to my friend I will post it on FaceBook on her page if that is okay with you.
Lisa, fortunately, I did not witness that one.
Kyle - you are right. And now you can visit the post.
AkPonyGirl - of course! The more links, the better.
Going back and rereading your clues I am having an "ohhhhh, I should have known that" moment. LOL
You always seem to be around for the coolest things Bill!
