WEDNESDAY
Cabin and Trail
P&H Dinertoure - The Tourtoise and the Hare
The hare would always do everything right; it would go to bed early, it would do its readings, it would eat whole grain cereal for breakfast... etc. The tourtoise, on the other hand, was a diff'rent animal indeed. The tourtoise stays up late and gets up too early. The tourtoise eats pancakes and french toast and eggs benedict for breakfast.
One day these two animals decided to have a race. They started at noon, and the hare quickly won the race without a problem. The hare was bathing in its own self-satisfaction, and the tourtoise was relatively unfazed. The next day the tourtoise had a much better breakfast than the hare did.
6:00 am behind Robinson Hall, you can be the tourtoise. And you'll even be back for your 9L.
The ride is free, bring small bills
