Today I met a volunteer at the Obon Festival in Temple Valley.

We were walking up the hills to get to the temple int in the back of the memorial park. We had just happened to miss all the golf carts driving people through the narrow roads. Eventually one of them stopped and picked us up.

We started chatting and I expressed concern that we would be moving up a steep hill with a lot more body weight than the cart should be able to handle.

"Nah. I did um earlier, and the lady before you was scared. But We did um, and she told me that I was brave. So yah, I've been feeling pretty brave today."

We did ascend the hill without problem, even though the cart sounded like it might buckle under our weight. I mean, anything seems pretty dangerous at 15mph without seatbelts.
