Because I'm totally capable of eating an entire cucumber a day, not only once, but two days in a row. Luckily I'm out of cucumbers. I may have made myself sick of them if I ate another one.
Kansas is well, Kansas. The weather has been ok. It's pretty cold in the morning but by 2 it warms up. And then we leave. So, we don't really get to experience the warmth. The archaeological provenience that we are working on out here is terrible. Terribly boring. Boringly terrible. No...there has been worse. We worked on an farmstead that had a long period of inhabitance from like 1870s until 1960s when the government used its 'imminent domain' technique and bought the land out from under some farmers.
Every morning I wake up, have a bowl of cereal, and then meander to the van where I chit chat and crack a couple of snappy jokes. Afterwards, I fall asleep for about 30-50 minutes until we reach the work site. That has been the trend, until today, we had to stop in at the archaeologists office on base. Which usually results in about a hour more of down time. So today, I slept for two hours before we actually started working. So....technically, I got paid to sleep for two hours today. Oh, I always fall asleep on the way home as well, which is about 30-50 minutes as well.
And so, today I went out to dinner with Chris, or X, or Turnstyle, or now 'Bottles'. All the same guy. We went to La Fiesta. Amazing Mexican food place (in case you couldn't guess by the name). I had Vegetarian number two. As odd as it sounds, I can't order meat from Mexican food restaurants anymore. I just don't do it. Tangent Alert! I remember the last time I did: it was with Kevin Schneider about two years ago when we went to Dos Reales on Prospect. This was probably around the time I met Amanda and thought nothing of her (I love you madly dearest). He convinced me to get the Burrito Bravo, and it takes a brave man to consume that whole thing. It was pretty delicious. This was also around the same time that Kevin and I sat around for an entire day and watched baseball. However, back to Vegetarian number two: cheese enchilada (standard, but good), spinach burrito (my first, and amazing), and a mushroom quesadilla (ab fab). Oh and the salsa and chips were great too. Afterwards we walked to the liquor store next door. Basically I was on an anthropological quest because you happen across the most interesting characters at liquor stores. Locals abound! We met a lovely student from Kansas State who knew a lot about alcohol. After learning a spell about tequila, X saw some moonshine (mason jar packed and everything). Soooo....he has never had it. I'm afraid its going to be a lot like that alchohol Amanda and I had at Mina's and Mieshkov's in Serbia (what was that called by the way?). It's peach moonshine. We'll see!
Therefore, plans for the rest of the night include a boardgame with Turnstyle, Nicole and Kathleen. Moonshine included (cups and ice brought separately).
Tomorrow is the last field day before I venture back. YES!

FYI, I used on an farmstead. I just saw it, but am too lazy to go back and edit it, there's moonshine abound!
rakia. that's what we had in serbia. and, oh boy was it terrible.
shine on shine on. mason jar style. the shine was a lot easier to drink than the rakia...because it was a brand and not actual home made shine.
I've had homemade moonshine and woo...its something.
