I've been driving back and forth from home to Fort Wayne a lot lately. I've managed to get some Fort Wayne geocaching in as well, even retrieved some travel bugs. I took Beth home today, which was good because Beth's roommate, apparently some 300-year-old matriarch of the trailer park, has been driving her nuts. Not so much her, I suppose, but 1) her whole family trooping into the room at 6:00 am reeking of smoke and swearing like truckers, shouting at her because the battery in her hearing air was dead, 2) The nurses coming in all during the night to give her medication, also having to shout at her to wake her up, and 3) whatever was wrong with her, it must have been giving her gas because she was one flatulent old woman. It was loud, frequent, and foul. One morning when I came to the hospital I found Beth down the hall because the smell had driven her out. The smell alone had actually woken her up during the night too.
