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 - 3/25

I dreamed that Michigan State was playing basketball at my elementary school.  They lost by 4 because they kept trying to bounce the ball off the floor into the basket.  So, uh, don’t do that on Friday please!

On an AmeriCorps note, we made some nice progress on the Roberts/Sides Property.  It seems like the infestation is primarily focused around the roads and the creek that runs through it.  I still have no idea how far back the property line is, but if the Bush Honeysuckle continues to thin out the further we go, I dare say Wes’s estimation will be close to the mark.

While spraying invasives we made a couple of friends.  There were two horses that were very excited to see us.  They were just trotting along and shooting glances our way to make sure we were watching.  Whenever we got closer to the fence they picked up the pace.  They really wanted to play—same with the dog.  Toward the end of the day a beagle emerged from the brush wagging its tail like it had found dinner.  It was very trusting and a little pudgy—signs that he had a good home.  That made me happy.  Not wanting to lure it from its home I restricted myself to only giving it 2 pats.  The cute thing followed us all the way back to the truck.


Now we’re at home base in Cape Girardeau with Taco Tuesday and How to Train Your Dragon looming on the quickly darkening horizon.  This movie is probably my favorite kid’s film.  If I could change one thing about it, I would change… this *gestures to all of it.*  Kidding, I love the whole package—the subtle actions that you may miss if you’re not looking, Craig Ferguson, Vikings, an amazing sound track accompanying a decent plot, and dragons of course!  Tonight’s going to be a good night.  Catch you all around!
