What a Sight!

Last night when T and I were sitting in the bus station waiting for the bus home, we saw this elderly religious woman walking through the station dragging NINE boxes behind her by their shoulder straps like dogs on leashes. These nine boxes contained gas masks. And while I'm thinking "WHAT! She's only NOW picking up her gas masks?!" I'm also trying (and failing) to do the mental arithmetic required to determine just how many kids this woman must have.....

After we got on the bus, someone else was commenting about how many masks she had and we heard her say that she was picking them up for her neighbors as well so - whew! - they weren't all for her family.
