A Snort makes front page news!
Julia and I were excited to see a SNORT! on the front page of the news this morning. A nice big yellow one. And, as fortune would have it, we actually saw one driving down OUR STREET this morning too. Right by our house! A Snort, for those who may not be familiar with the term, is what others might call a --well, I don't know what they're called in other circles, actually. A digger machine? Anyway, we call them Snorts, because that's how they're called in one of our favorite books, Are You My Mother, by P.D. Eastman. It's a pretty big deal to find one around town, especially one that is not sleeping. And one on the front page of the news seemed blogworthy. Here is the picture:

You need to come visit us! Driving down from Chicago we go right by a huge outdoor lot for digging equipment. Must be an acre or more packed with it. It's Brian's favorite spot enroute.
Years ago we learned the term "cherry picker" from a 2-yr-old neighbor, as it was his favorite outdoor vehicle. They have those in the lot we pass, too. Julia would love to see it! Maybe you could take a field trip to the wilds of east central Illinois! We'd even throw in some John Deere tractors. ;)
