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!

Cape Girardeau - 3/13

The 1 day project has now reached day 3.  It’s like…showing up to take on the Death Star and finding the shields fully operational.  There may have been an underestimation as to how far the invasive had spread, but we’ve made some significant progress!  If Wes has us go back tomorrow I think we can clear everything up to the creek.  Of course… Bush Honeysuckle is completely covering the other side.  We may have an Osgiliath situation if we don’t remedy that.  Let’s hope the native inhabitants can hold off the invaders until we return!

It was a good day!  A great day even!  Have you ever played the game where the floor is lava?  Most kids have, but in the off chance you haven’t it is just as it sounds, you pretend the ground is lava and try to avoid falling in.  There were so many downed trees that I would go several minutes at a time elevated above the soil.  I felt pretty cool weaving my way through and over the skeletons of these natural giants.  It brought me back to my time in the Scouts when we would go out and get ourselves into some mischief in the woods.


Anyhow, all this lava dodging has left me exhausted.  I’m going to turn in—but before I do…Happy early St. Patrick’s Day!  My next entry won’t hit the interwebs until after the event so I thought I’d tell you now.  Celebrate appropriately!  Good night all.  Until next time!
