The short voyage of the USS Notepaper

It rained so hard the street was streaming, and as always, when the street gets like that, I want to send a boat down it. So today I turned to the internet, refreshed my memory on how to make a paper boat (I think last tried when I was a kid and reading Curious George), and sailed it down the street.

Here is the street



And here is the boat, prior to launch



And here is her 20-second maiden voyage!



Alas, she took on water. . .

Yes!! I remember those pages in the book! And the instructions I got online were essentially those.

… I haven't been commenting enough on other people's blogs, but I wanted to say, your new border collie puppy is *adorable*
