Hiya Skeleton Crew,

Can ya believe it’s still only Thursday? So excited for the weekend to be here.

Wait a sec ... it’s only WEDNESDAY???

Ah jeez! It’s just one of those weeks, y’know?

Trivia 1

Here’s a pic of one of the more famous quadrigae in the world:

That monument there’s situated at a certain city’s gate on the road to what Margraviate that’ll be familiar to any Baroque-heads in the audience?

Trivia 2

I have a funny li’l story ’bout horse-drawn vehicles that happened recently.

It snowed this past weekend, ya mighta heard. Here in Micimec we got hit pretty bad – which I don’t usually mind too much, I kinda like the snow, don’tcha know? – but the problem is that on Sunday I had to get to Frankie’s downtown to play sax in this li’l jazz ensemble I’m a part of. (Betcha didn’t know I played sax! Baritone, to be precise.)

Well, I was runnin a li’l late on account of troubleshootin an issue I’ve been havin with Screen #2 at the Skeletodeon (long story). But finally I get all that sorted, & I hop into the ol’ skelemobile, & ... uff da! Wouldn’t ya know it, the car battery was dead!!

So there I am, I’m stuck in the middle of the snow, I’m flippin my parietal wonderin what the heck I’m gonna do — when all of a sudden, this li’l two-wheeled open carriage comes rollin down the street, pulled by one of the doggone prettiest horses ya ever seen! I flag ’em down & ask the driver if he can give me & my barry sax a ride. He says “of course” in the neighborliest voice ya could ever imagine, & at that point I’m more relieved than a walleye gettin' tossed back in the hole.

So I hop on in there &, thank my lucky stars, I was able to make it to the show JUST IN TIME!

The kicker is that I was tellin the driver my li’l story on the way there, & at the end of my li’l speech he tugged his beard & smiled & said, “At least now you can say that you took a ___ to your ___!”

What word fills those blanks?
