shadow puppets

Liam: "I think we should talk about......guerilla tactics."

Catherine: "Oooorrr shadow puppets!"

Liam: "SHADOW PUPPETS!!!"

This was a verbatum conversation held on an impromtu excursion to the Mattress Factory (wrote it down when it took place, and the note is currently residing in my glove compartment). We discovered a building on the way that is basically a giant dispenser of corn syrup, cider vinegar, and oil- at least, there are giant fawcet-like installations on the side of the building with those labels on them, with drainage channels underneath cut into the sidewalk. We spent a lot of time trying to figure out the existance of this building, as well as a bit of time raging over the giant, gaping, unmarked holes in the sidewalk, since even when distracted by absurdity of this caliber, Liam was always quick to notice the dangers in this city and think of ways to rectify them. We never actually made it inside the Mattress Factory, since when we reached the gates we realized that no one remembered the code to get in, and hadn't brought our phones. Poor planning notwithstanding, it was still a memorable trip.
