Bus stop, wet day, she's there I say

(Tim w/thanks to Jeff) Yesterday, Ben and Michal Crum asked Joseph and Heidi to take care of their son (our grandson), Daniel, while they went to hear Senator Barack Obama at a benefit concert put on by the Dave Matthews Band. Michal in particular was quite disappointed that Senator Obama was a no-show. But the band played on.
Hearing how Ben and Michal were spending their afternoon and evening, one of our elders told us of a recent incident indicating the loyalty Senator Obama has for Chicago may not be shared by the Dave Matthews Band.

I'm laughing at clouds

Also that human waste is a terrible thing to mind.
The last anyone heard from the Dave Matthews Band bus driver, he was headed southeast toward Gary on I-294 singing,
Now I've got my Magic Bus
I drive my baby every way
Each time I go a different way...
