Small Town Bowling

South County Lanes in Payson County is quite the bowling alley!  It is rather out of the main stream flow of the PBA (professional bowlers association).  It might be in a small town like Payson but it is not replacement for Duke's Lanes.  And yes, this is the infamous bowling alley that Gary Coleman (from Diff'rent Strokes) was ticketed for Disorderly Conduct earlier this year.

There was a sign at the counter that said "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone."  I thought it was pretty crazy considering that there was our group and a couple kids that looked like they had just graduated high school.  They like to pick and choose who gets to bowl their alleys.

Rebecca and I doubled with Dan and Angela.  It was a good time except for my competitive nature put a bit of pressure on Rebecca.  I bet Dan that the losing team buys the winners ice cream.  We lost two games in a row.  I'm not that great of a bowler.  Rebecca was trying different styles of bowling to keep us in the running but she was having an off night too. ha!

Actually we had been  boating just a few hours earlier so I suppose that is our excuse. Yeah, we were so worn out from Mike flipping us on the tube.

We then visited the Daley Freeze.  It's the "Glades" of Payson.  Be weary of the fry sauce there it has a hint of dill that isn't bad but catches one off guard.

I then helped Rebecca unload some of her things into her new apt.  It's pretty nice and fancy.  I live in quite the dive but hopefully that will be another post....

summer of learning


I have had quite the ride this summer.  I took Physiology and am finishing Anatomy right now.  It hasn't been a quick easy ride but I have learned so much.  If you have talked to me in the last 7 weeks I talk about morphological landmarks on the human body.  This is the kind of class that I live for.  I love Biology that I can touch!  I have spent almost every night until midnight in the cadaver lab learning as many of the landmarks as I can get to stick in my head.  I have my lecture and lab finals over the next two days.  My lab teacher approached me today and asked me if I would TA for next semester.  I will be crazy busy but this was quite flattering.  We'll see if I can survive the finals and perhaps squeeze this into the schedule.  I'm excited to think that I might actually graduate college someday.  The thought stays in my mind, though, that I will never leave school.  Good times!
