Ka-Cow

How is everyone doing? I'm doing pretty good. We're back in Rochester now. Its really gloomy here. And has everyone heard about Sandy the hurricane? Its estimated to cause 20 Billion dollars in damage. It took down a tall ship and two people are still missing from that. Stores and Gas Stations are completely empty. 375,000 people are under mandatory evacuation. That's a lot of people. They are saying this hurricane is gonna make history. According to meteorologists estimations Sandy should make land fall later tonight. This is gonna be a big deal.

So the other night everyone was over at our house to day good bye, seeing as Mom and I were packed and ready to leave the next morning. (I'm kidding. I didn't pack until 10 minutes before we left.) My cousin Jaydee was also there. He drove down from Alaska the night before. He takes a little.. or a lot of getting used to but I love him.

You would be surprised by how weird my cousin is. Right in the middle of a round of Nutsy, he starts talking about his new "vegan" diet. Yes, the Alaskan Assassin is a vegan now. *rolls eyes. He starts telling us about all the different things he eats and places he goes and all of a sudden he says "Ka-cow." We all look at him wondering what he is talking about.

 I instantly start making fun of him, "Ka-what??"

"Ka-Cow. Like Hot Ka-cow."

I look around at everyone and back and him and say "Cocoa??".

Yes.. People from Alaska pronounce "Cocoa" as "Ka-Cow".

People from Alaska are weird.

The night before he arrived I was at Dave and Carols and they were teaching me to play Yatzee. No, I have never played Yatzee and to be honest I'm not sure I want to play again. You have to make decision, you have to use math and I find no skill in rolling dice. Not my kind of game.

ANYWAY, while we're playing Jaydee texts me and I explain to Dave and Carol that he drove down from Alaska and wouldn't be arriving until late late late at night. Carol looks at me and says,

"You mean he flew to Canada and drove down."

I look at her, shake my head and say "No, he drove through Canada.. He went across the boarder.."

Carol just looks at me weird and says "How did he get to Canada?" (snapshot)

Carol didn't know where Alaska was. She thought it was an island.

Do I need to explain why that is funny??

I miss you all.
