Waxing Elephant: Chasing After the Ukulele

Tuesday, June 24, 2008. I've Been Wanting to Tell This One. Several years ago, I found a rat drowned in Katie’s water bucket.

Huh Freak accident number two. When I was done, I cried for a long time. So did Katie. 8220;You havin’ a garage sale? 8221; he asked. 8221; He walked in...
