Jacob Claims the Odd Days

Little Rock, AR - Wednesday May 22, 2013

A day rested with good weather above and before us, we are finally able to set out. But first we have to get this...

                 ...into this...

We are careful to take pictures of each layer as we go, in case it behaves like an unfolded map when we try to load it down the line. Almost everything makes the cut except a box of bottled water (but Leighann is a Bobble fiend so we will not lack for purified refreshment), and we slam the doors on the havoc and bid Jacob's mother goodbye. Her parting advice: "Remember to take turns being right. If it's your day, then you are right, and the other must wait 'til tomorrow."

At midnight Jacob tells Leighann that he'll take the odd days. Since it is the 23rd, she cannot object.

(Note From Lei: I explained to Jacob that this system can only work if he doesn't invoke it too often. He said that could be true tomorrow.)
