Incan Gold

In Colorado I stopped at the game store and picked up all of the games they had that dealt with gold and treasure. Well maybe not all but several. We played Incan Gold in Colorado which Bohdin enjoyed. We played it again when we went to the chaplain's house on Saturday. Bohdin was the landslide winner. On Sunday we played two new games, Archaeology about looking for Egyptian treasure and Boom Town about gold mining. He seems to have the mechanics down pretty well but the strategy is a bit much for him. In addition both games have cutthroat elements. In Archaeology there is a thief card and Bohdin doesn't like to have his cards stolen but who does. I did steal from him once. Bohdin steals from Buddy the majority of the time. I think he won the first game and came in second the second time. Boom Town is even more cutthroat. We tried to be fairly gentle on Bohdin or I did anyway. There were times that Buddy did not. For the most part Bohdin handled it well. He came in second place. We were unaware of one of the scoring rules until nearly the end which could have been a factor in his loss.

The government has changed the moving process to an automated version from a live version. It doesn't work. Buddy has spent hours on the phone trying to get the computer problem resolved. I think he has partly given up in disgust because he now wants to do the move ourselves. I'm not excited by the work but at least our stuff shouldn't be destroyed or stolen. Maybe we'll make a lot of money from it with the reimbursement.



Bohdin said earlier this week that he wanted to get sell of all of his trains so he would have more room and money for Playmobil stuff. He has been saving his money for a possible trip to the Playmobil store. He found five dollars at the grocery store, about 80 cents at the airport, 30+ cents at Sonic, and various pennies and dimes recently so his money collection is really growing. He is also contemplating
getting a job although I don't know what kind of job he is thinking about.

I've reached the limit of knowledge and sometimes patience for questions. I can't tell which way electricity is flowing through a wire outside. I had to think hard about what makes wind. I wasn't quite sure what the sun was made out of. I don't know exactly how trees use carbon dioxide. I don't know if carbon dioxide is found in all water. I don't know the significance of the sphinx in ancient Egyptian culture. He asks too many questions in the car. I need to hire a professor to come with me on my errands and answer his questions. I just want to listen to the radio.
