Greetings

Welcome to my little corner of the inter-webs! I just wanted to take this space to warn you that my posts will rarely be up to date. Due to the spontaneity of natural disasters and the unpredictability of when AmeriCorps' services will be requested I will be digitizing my journal entries whenever we return to St. Louis. Oh, and most of the pictures you see here were taken by myself. If ever I do use someone else's material I make a point to give them due credit though! That said, come, leave comments and be merry! I hope you enjoy your stay!

Pinecrest Camp 11/19

Pinecrest!  That is the name of the camp we are staying at.  Very nice place.  I am currently sprawled out on the queen bed scanning my room.  It’s very spacious and… white.  The sheets are white, the walls are white, the blinds are white, the lights are an incandescent white, the towels are… brown, actually.  This is as good a time as any to let you all know that I am colorblind.  I guess they have modified the term to “color deficient” in the past decade or so for people like me.  I will leave you to speculate what that means.

To complete our service project of the day my team returned to Thompson Ford to tackle a Bush Honeysuckle insurgence.  We left none alive.  From the tallest peak to the dry and still-watered river beds below we hunted the invasives.  To our horror we came across a couple of Privet emissaries mingling with the Bush Honeysuckle.  They had formed an alliance.  Well, we couldn’t have that.  Though we were horribly outnumbered we charged their lines with shear and saw in hand.  Their defenses quickly succumbed to our persistent blades and by the time the sun had set we were the only ones still standing.

Good news!  Tonight is taco Tuesday!

Bad news!  I have to go study some more!

Miscellaneous news!  I almost got run over by a group of deer!


And in other news, I really should be going.  1 day until the test; I got this.  See you later!
