"Libby, I've got good news, great news and terrible news for you."
Libby:
"Oh, I hate bad news. Let's have the good news first."
"We're not taking Ethel to Hawaii."
"Oooh! Thats' wonderful! What's the great news?"
"We're not taking the trailer either."
"That is marvelous!... So... what's the terrible news?"
"We're not taking you either."
"... ... What???"

Poor Libby :(
Maybe you can park Libby in some air conditioning or near a cute big bike or something........
Or store her in a flithy shop while I go to Hawaii and rent a Harley. Don't tell her.

I just talked to Libby and she's not taking this very well. She says she had been gearing up for Hawaii ever since missing out on Alaska. Athough she's nearly start-broken, she did admit to being two-tired... even dual-exhausted at times!
I promised her a new front tire (so she won't be so tired after all), an oil change, and the trailer brakes fixed so it does some of her work. She's still mad.

Ethel took the news much better. All she said was, "Sew what?"
We told Ethel she'll be working while we're gone as a paperweight. She's delighted. Doesn't get it. Featherweight indeed!
