A Horse is a Horse, Of Course, Of Course...

I spent most of the day in the Information Center today...
I particularly enjoy answering the phone because some of the conversations I have are so ridiculous.
-"Mount Rushmore Information Center, this is Jacob."
-"Hi, is this where I get information on Mount Rushmore?"
Really?? Really??

This girl in her 20s walked into the Information Center today... she goes, "I lost my cell phone on the trail; is there a lost-and-found here?" I told her that sadly, no one had turned in a cell phone as of a few hours, but she could fill out a form, and if someone returned it, Mt. Rushmore would send it to her.  Then she says, "Well... I lost the cell phone on the trail about 4 years ago... I had a ten dollar bill stuck inside the phone, too..."
Sometimes there are no words.

My day ended with several of the rangers--bored out of our minds--singing TV theme songs to the visitors. Ah, the life of a park ranger!

Tomorrow a bunch of the rangers are going on a FIELD TRIP!! If the weather's nice... WYOMING!! If the weather sucks... NEBRASKA!! Stay tuned for details regarding this critical decision.
