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!

Peck Ranch - 2/17

We unintentionally pranked Marshall.  As the MDC staff at Peck Ranch don’t work Friday through Sunday we left a stump cookie in the shop with every intention of removing it when we came back.  Marshall ended up coming in to meet up with us yesterday and told us that we could just take the equipment to our lodging for the night so we completely forgot.  When we went to check in today Marshall had his staff together and they were about to start moving things to see what had died in the shop… we decided to tell them that it was the cookie.  They didn’t believe us at first, but one whiff of the stump piece and they changed their minds.  Woops.  Sorry guys!

Whether it was an act of penance or the supposed rain that was on its way, we were put back on barb wire duty.  Good news is that the prophesized steady rain never came to pass!  It made for a very warm and fun day.  As of today, we are just short of having cleared 2 miles of barb wire fencing.  Not too shabby!

The weather is only supposed to get better from here so I cannot wait to see what the rest of the week has in store for us.  The sun really makes a difference in my mood I’ve found.  I should probably start taking vitamins again, or at least a strong dose of Vitamin D.  Fun fact, did you know East Lansing, the city I lived in for the past 7 years, is the city that receives the least amount of sunlight in the United States?  Not sure if that has changed since I heard it over a year ago, but yeah, I’m practically a vampire.


Good night all.  Talk to you later!
