Up to this point, while going on
mini-tour with Rain Dragon had
not been flawless, it had been manageable. So, the Sasquatch and I were fooled into thinking that the last non-local stop on the schedule, Haverford PA would be fine.

Sigh. I think I might have to rethink my school visit schedule in the spring.
