Ode to the Cow

So this post is a bit late, but that is in no way a reflection of its importance.  While we were evacuees in evacuation site #2 (casa del Mondo parent's in Victoria) we visited the local Home Depot in preparation for our return to the Island. 

We purchased many things: 

generator (the Mondos)
first aid kits
gas cans
gas
bug spray
gloves
work boots
trash bags
batteries
a cow.

Yes, a cow. 

Yes, you can buy a cow at Home Depot in Victoria.  However, if you DO decide to purchase a cow at the Victoria Home Depot, be prepared to defend its honor to the cashier who will likely insist it is, in fact, a sheep.  Rest assured, it is a cow. A "calm down cow" as we have come to know and love.  Some people use biofeedback, some people count to ten.  We pet the cow.  And it works.

As Christopher Walken might say, we've got a fever...  And the only prescription is more cow...
