    Talked to someone on the radio yesterday, got
    directions to one of the field day locations.

    The fellow said he'd have the grill going by noon,
    plenty of food. No grill any where in sight or
    scent. I had a bottle of water, and put some
    change in the donations jar.

    Two PM came along, and they called everyone in
    for chow. Safety officer even used the megaphone.
    So, I reported to the picnic tables. They brought
    out the submarine scandwiches with peoples names
    on them. I got a bag of Doritos (snack size) out
    of the bin by the coffee pot.

    Two PM went, and they announced that field day
    had started. I thought it started at noon? Guess
    not. So, I wander around and chat with people.
    A father daughter combination had the microphone
    for over an hour. Girl was about six to eight
    years old, about that. She is also excellent
    with a mic.

    Some where along there, I figured to ask for a
    turn on the microphone. At that moment, a scout
    liason arrived with seven scouts, ages abou 12
    to 17. And they all got turns on the microphone.

    About six PM, I got to talking to one of the
    guys who turns out to be one of the leaders.
    He gave me a big list of woulda shoulda coulda.
    You shoulda contacted us and signed up. You
    shoulda let us know you'd be here. You shoulda
    Made that known earlier. I wasn't all that
    impressed.

    He did say I could stay later. And I could come
    out tomorrow. I'm trying to decide, I may go
    after church. Will probably visit, just for the
    experience. For now, I'm not all that impressed.
