Don't Worry, the Government's Here

I'm sorry it's been so long since my last post, but I have a decent excuse: crazy and insane sunburn.

See, last weekend I went tubing and even though I put lots of sunscreen on my pasty body, I got horribly sunburned and I think even got some sun poisoning. Good times.

But I love tubing. It's so fun and relaxing. And we even got to jump into the river off a rock. I blame my mountain upbringing for my love of swimming in rivers. I just wish there had been a rope swing. I love rope swings. Bust that's a relatively small complaint in the big picture of floating down a river with a bottle of wine and nothing to do but try to avoid the rocks.

But onto the title of this post: the incident of the school bus.

In order to get the multitudes of people who want to get on the river when it's nine hundred thousand degrees outside, Butt's Tubes uses school buses. And our bus driver got all hung up on a guardrail. It was marginally hilarious. Especially when the park ranger who was hanging around the put-in spot pulled out a sledgehammer to try to get the bus off the guardrail. And as he walked up to the bus with it he yelled: "Don't worry folks, the Government's here!" Hilarious.

But the bus got off the guardrail and we got in the river. And if the whole back of my body hadn't gotten sunburned, it would have been a perfect day.
