My more serious diary:
A Walk Through the
Valley of the Shadow

Today we commemorate the passage of the earth through the tail of Halley's Comet in 1910. Since comet tails are known to contain cyanide gas, this stirred up a mass frenzy about how we'll all drop dead of cyanide poisoning. I suppose that probably didn't happen, seeing as how somewhat in excess of six and a half billion people are alive on earth today.

Yesterday the rain quit long enough to let me finish tossing over the contents of the primary compost bin into the newly-empty secondary compost bin. Now I'll start grinding up my big pile of branches and twigs to put into the now-empty primary compost bin.

And today is our church's Grandiose May Fest. Part of it is the Youth Group Grandiose Car Wash, to which I always take Nelson the Nissan for his annual wash.

But the big prominent part is the Ladies Guild Grandiose Junk Sale, for which they'll probably want me to help haul the leftovers to the dump afterwards.

And then some of my hedges need clipped, now that I've got available composter capacity for the clippings.

It's probably also time to take the motion-detector lights back down out of my shrubbery, now that the Tiki Bar crowd is settled down to normal summertime level and they no longer need my shrubbery to serve as supplementary restrooms.

Happy Saturday!

Oh by the way, if you're one of those insufferable snooty folks who think
you've just gotta have a (gasp) banner (shudder) to link to me,
I suppose I'll let you download this one for the purpose, if you really insist.
