I've paid my bills on time.

Camping. With the Cub Scouts. That's what we did this weekend.
It was actually pretty fun. Of course, the air mattress and down comforter were a plus. The weather favored us, no rain. Mosquitos abounded but weren't too bad after a little Deep Woods Off.
On Saturday we all went to an ...
