nobody was ever here this late , especially on the second day of school . my birthday present from my uncle , an old ford escape hed been fixing up for months , was waiting in the barn for me . it was almost five thirty-not even three hours till the spectacle . `` special as in what you can do ? theres a picture in the hall of the two of us sitting on the couch . there are some around for story props in the various entertainment media , that sort of thing .
