Day 100 - Sunday, 9/27/09, SETTLED

Our RV park neighbors' son is getting married outdoors today. It is drizzling. We feel badly for them.

"Gina" the GPS says "Staycoach Drive" for "Stagecoach Drive". We're puzzled about how this robotic reading system works. Is it a typo, or does she have a speech impediment.

The weather clears up a bit and we head for the Minnesota Renaissance Faire in Shakopee. There are jugglers of flames, clubs, bowling balls, garden weasels, sometimes while precariously balanced on a tightrope or slipping on banana peels. Comic fire-eaters blow flames at each other. "The Danger Committee" knife throwers cut cucumbers while they dangle from their assistant's mouth. Yikes!

We buy some beautiful ceramic numbers mounted on a cedar board for our house.

The temperature starts out at 70 degrees and drops to 59 degrees while the wind howls at 30 mph. This makes all the stunts even trickier.

At 7:00, after the Faire, Corinne drops Bob off at the RV and drives to Minneapolis for Yom Kippur evening services, Kol Nidre, at Temple Shir Tikvah. She never makes it, though, due to rain, construction, and the fact that she forgot to read their web site which said that their High Holiday services had been moved to a different, larger location.

She finds the note on their door too late to get to the new place. So she drives home and listens to Kol Nidre on the internet.
