HELL OF A SHOCK

I work in a hospital that treats cancer patients that are terminally ill. Yesterday I was asked if I was willing to get involved in fund raising for childrens cancer reseach. I was told it meant driving a jeep towing a trailer supporting a walker who was walking from Lands End to John A Groats, that is the whole length of the country. The trip would take 8 weeks. I went down to the caravan site where the walker was staying and the jeep and trailer was parked. To my utter astonishment I was confronted by a jeep towing a gigantic trailer which had a enormous and I mean enormous , realistic dinosaur which looked about 30ft high. Holy smoke.
The job I was told would be well paid. True life is stranger than fiction. I dont know if I want the job or even if ive got it. I laughed my self silly driving home. God almighty whatever next. I did not tell the wife as she would think I have gone off my rocker. Perhaps I have. Cheers Peter

Good luck in your "crazy-fun" adventure.

The only thought that comes to mind for me is a scene in Jurassic Park when he gets in the back of the Jeep and the dinosaur is chasing them and he says ... "MUST GO FASTER!" HE HE I hope you do it.

Happy trails, Pacergirl

my husband is still getting offers to work. he is 68 the next place may be just off the coast of austrailia. i think it keeps one young and also is good for you in every way as long as you can do it. of course we are a bit odd that way. hehe jessie
