There was a gas leak by our house yesterday because someone doing construction accidentally crashed into a gas line. The city evacuated our neighbors in our neighborhood (including us) as well as neighboring neighborhoods' neighbors. (During all this I imagined a montage of the evacuation featuring the song
Won't You Be My Neighbor by Mr. Rogers.) They sent us to the local elementary school where nothing exciting was happening. Just basic stuff like, an old man being loaded into an ambulance, a bummish man proudly wearing a marijuana leaf shirt, creepy cops staring us down like we were conspiring evil, and some charity was giving out free donuts.
Oh man, I never question free food.
But, we did have tickets to go see a cool marionette show called
The Cashore Marionettes so we ditched the free donuts and headed over to the theater to see some culture!
Oh - it was incredible. I would go see their show again.
This was my favorite scene during the performance:
The baby wiggled its toes!
By 9:00 they started letting people go back to their houses after checking the gas levels - so we were no longer homeless.

And you were so brave:) sneaking back into our house to get the show tickets (and Cammy's dress clothes) after that policeman was hovering over us with a mean face. Adventure... and also an amazing show!
what a great story... :)
Some moron didn't know how to do his jod. I would like to see that actually made into a music video though.
I loved the marionettes! I loved how the mom tickled the baby with her hair and the baby kicked its legs and arms--so brilliant!
Wow!! That is a crazy and eventful day!! I'm glad you're all ok though. And that marionette show was a streak of awesome, it seems. :)
I love your mom's little addition.
I'm imagining you in an all-black catsuit breaking in midday.
"neighboring neighborhoods' neighbors." that montage would be pretty rad. i'm glad you didn't have to be homeless for long!
Ohhh homelessness. Glad I wasn't there ha! That marionette show was AMAZING. I didn't want it to ever end. Ever! I loved the guitar player one and his little skinny jeans.
