Poop and Drive Ins

Our septic guy came today... he arranged for the pumping and he made the few repairs / upgrades that he recommended at inspection time. All went smoothly and everything seems to be functioning appropriately. All good news :) One pipe did break during pumping, but they easily repaired / replaced it without further incident, thank goodness!! He suggested we get it pumped again in 2 - 3 years and at that time call him back to inspect it and check the filter he put on it today. $850 later, we're good to "go"! haha :)

Tonight was drive in movie night at the fair grounds in Carp. They were playing Night at the Museum, which we'd already seen, but we decided to go over anyhow. It was $5 a person and they were selling hotdogs, popcorn, pop, etc. It was a lovely cool, clear night, the bugs weren't awful... it would've been hard to special order an evening of nicer weather really. We did need sweaters though and I had a jacket on and one over my legs... chilly enough. The sky was really clear and the stars very bright! :)

After the main attraction was over, a local director wanted to play his short film. A warning was announced against language and horror content for the small kids, but they started playing it right away.... until the first F word. They then paused it and waited for more of the small kids to exit... after about 10 minutes they started it again, but stopped it about halfway (the whole film was only 7 minutes long!) saying that the organizers felt it was inappropriate. We actually spoke to the young guy that was the director... he was obviously disappointed that they wouldn't allow him to play it all... we were also disappointed.

Found out it was still online, so we downloaded it and watched it... a fun little film with a scary trike.... "Death Trike"... it wasn't actually scary, just kinda fun, really! And it was filmed at the Carp fairgrounds.

Seems like the citizens of Carp just aren't ready for their up and coming new talent! But you just wait, if that director ends up famous, they'll be the first to turn his house into a museum or something!! What a funny world!
