Freakishly Happy

Before heading out to the east coast, Joni and I stopped by for a quick visit to Jaci's.  In this case, a quick visit ended up being a couple of days.

We started things off with a tour of her workplace, including a quick drive down in the mines.  We got outfitted with all the necessary equipment, including helmets, glasses and breathers (in case of a collapse).  As we drove down in her pickup, we had to back up for a huge dump truck, just about two lanes wide and about the length of a tour bus.  It was gigantic!

 The mine itself was incredibly dark, but had a strong steady breeze.  We drove around a bit and then headed back up to the surface.  Once outside, we looked at a couple of Jaci's projects, understanding a bit more about what she's building and why.  What a great tour!

 The rest of the weekend was spent shopping, hanging out visiting and a trip to the local arts festival.

Ranting:
So two weeks ago or so, we moved the two twin bed frames that we had been using until John built our bed, into the living room so that John's parents could use them. As I'm sitting here on one of them, I have a fairly good view of underneath the other bed. I am shocked and dismayed to find that ALREADY there are dust bunnies working their way into dust-moose under there. I don't understand how this happens. How do these things breed to quickly? It's not like I've been not sweeping. I've been keeping up with that every other day or so. So how does this lint like substance suddnely appear? and not only appear but coordinate itself, and congregate in preplanned meeting places like under my beds??
This really must be stopped.
