Recently, The Reluctant Farmer and I have noticed the gate in our backyard has been left wide open. I have been more than slightly cranky, blaming her for being so irresponsible, stating homicide as a possibility if my dogs happen to escape the backyard and become injured. Well, after last night, things make sense, and I realize I have wrongly accused her.....
Tonight The Reluctant Farmer downloaded Pokemon GO, and after running around like a 10 year old on a sugar high, collecting Pokemon figures, she goes out to our backyard and says: "Hey! We have a Poke Stop on our deck!"
I immediately wrote Nintendo and asked them to move the Poke Stop to our front yard, since that is where our Little Free Library is located. I am all about luring families to books while playing a video game. I am not on board for folks free ranging in my backyard.... That is a Poke NO GO!
Still laughing at this... and happy that the worst thing that happened was simply a gate left ajar. One can only imagine....
