The Treaty of McKenzie Drive SE

Not as well known as the Treaty of Versailles or the Fourth Treaty of Paris, but notable in this apartment. Those of you with a keen eye will notice in the photo from the previous post that there is a recliner sitting on top of the table where the Risk battle was being held. I was going to meld that into the last post, but felt that there is probably 2 or 3 people out there that were intently watching this battle rage and wanted to give it a proper burial.

Here is the pic again - the table is on the left hand side.

Basically when I got home that day, we were running around like it was a Chinese fire drill and then both of us stopped and looked at the table knowing that we would have to sacrifice the game in order to save the furniture. Katie blurts out right away "You're way ahead of me, you win." Being a nice guy I said we'll roll one dice each and the higher one wins. We both rolled 5's......... I suppose this was a metaphor for real war, are there any real winners in war? And we thought on that awhile.

After I had thought about it long enough I decided that yes, there are winners in war and Katie conceded victory. I AM THE WINNER!!!!! Well, maybe not, but at any rate I decided to erect a monument in the kitchen so that future renters can someday come and see what happened here in the winter of 2009.......
