Just some funny things

Here are just some funny things that have made me smile the last few days:

Bub is very dramatic about the weather already.  When we left Utah it was low 60's and we were still wearing jackets most of the time.  It is 80 degree weather here now and whenever he gets into the car, he rolls up into a fetal position and whines about how hot it is.  The sun is so bright, the seats are so hot...on and on.  Bub, it is only 80 degrees.  You are in for a rude awakening.

We are asked for our military ID when we enter the base and Josh's lists his rank.  He is always ranked higher than the person checking the IDs so that means that they must salute him even though he may be in civilian clothes.  Bear and Bub think this is hilarious.  I watch them as the ID is checked and there are too little faces, rapt with attention, hardly breathing, until they see that salute.  Then comes the laughter.  I am not sure when they will get used to this!

We already ran into our first fraternization discussion.  We were invited to dinner by a ward member who is a lower rank than Josh.  He told us he was breaking the rules.  But his wife invited us over so I think wives should be exempt from this stuff.  I don't care what rank I am friends with.

Josh is not going to be working for 10 days.  He is being required to take leave for 10 days to look for a living arrangement even though we are just planning to live on base and are already on the waiting list.  Pretty silly use of time.  I guess we will spend this time exploring Las Vegas.  Any good suggestions for us?
