The Queen Has A Limp

 We were awakened this morning at 6 by a train behind the motorhome. The quarry behind us evidently loads train cars in the morning, so the train slowly drifts into the quarry, loads, and then slides out. The noise is noticeable, but not excruciating. At least there aren't any whistles!

Late last night, while we were playing ball outside with Sasha, she took a tumble and hurt her shoulder. This morning she was not able to walk properly, so we scrambled to find an emergency vet clinic to take a look at her. Just a few miles from the motorhome, All Cities Emergency Pet Care was able to take her in about noon. X-rays showed no bone damage, so it's once again an old neurological issue from her "childhood". A steroid and a pain prescription should get her back into shape in a few days. She acts better this afternoon and even wants to play ball a little, but sleeps a lot. Best thing for her. We miss the Queen.

At about 10 this morning, a helicopter landed a few hundred feet from us, a police patrol car arrived with lights and sirens operating, and a full on ladder fire truck showed up. Turns out it was a show for school kids. After a demonstration of a fire hose and a round of sirens, the helicopter revved up and took off.

A trip downtown to do some much needed shopping took up most of the afternoon, but as the evening progressed, hunger began to talk loudly to us. The Attic West has good reviews, and is just a couple of miles away, so we checked the restaurant out.

The Boss Hogg took care of Donna's wishes, with three pork sliders, roasted garlic, pickle, apple Jalapeño slaw and onion frizzles (read crispy onion straws). A side of onion rings finished that one off!

I let my eyes take control of my stomach, and ordered the Drunken Wilber. Pulled pork, thick cut bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion frizzles. Awesome!

For being so busy today, we didn't get much done! We're prepping this evening for a severe thunderstorm that is supposed to appear during the night tonight. TV is predicting 70+ mph wind, light hail, and heavy rain. We'll be buttoning up the motorhome before bed, and hope for the best. I'll let you know how that works out!
