WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY
P&H Truckstop, Wells River VT.  Leave from the Back of Robo at 6:40.  Back
by 9Ls (maybe)

Oliver clenched the wheel of his semi-trailer truck, his face tight with
apprehension and knuckles white with fear (scaredy knuckles!).  He pulled
into the gas station, and got out of the cab.  Irena was waiting by the
diesel pump.  "You're late", she said.  "The wife" he apologized.  They
walked into the station store.  "Stop shaking, Ollie."  Oliver looked for
the bathroom door, and calculated the difference between how long it'd take
him to run there and how much time he had before vomiting.  Irena ordered
for them: two steak and egg sandwiches, one home fries.  "Relax."  She put
her hand on his shoulder.  "You're safe now."

Dinertoure: The ride is free, bring small bills. RSVP to Dinerz

using downed trees we find in the woods; and tending to some of the sprouts in
the new garden.  Depending on interest and weather, we can also hike Moosilauke
or go swimming in a nearby pond at some point as well.  And then to top it all
off, we'll eat a super delicious Lodge dinner (and potentially some Fat Bob's
ice cream on the drive back)!

What: GRANT EXTRAVAGANZA
When: June 4-8th times negotiable
Details: Basically, after finals I am encouraging y'all to come up to the
Grant for some serious RandR. There will be ample time for bushwhacking,
creek swimming, BBQ's, fishing, biking, canoeing, cabin-ing, music playing,
star-gazing, and in general just getting lost in some beautiful woods. There
will likely be multiple rides going to and from the place for these 4 days,
so come when you can.
Blitz: Athena Aicher if you are interested in coming. Gotta get me some
GRANT biddies.
