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!

Elk Zone - 5/20

My new nickname in the program is Hellraiser.  I will leave it up to your imaginations as to how I earned this one.  I’m enjoying it, it… empowers me in a way.  I have felt more confident since making the name my own.  Twice I have been stopped along the highway and asked what we were doing and, for those of you who are unfamiliar, folks in Missouri do not like Nature Conservation and they HATE chemical.  In both instances I was able to calm the individuals and even get some nods of approval before they went on their way.  I’m wondering if my beard has a part to play…  We shall see soon enough!  The beard has gotten to the point that it is becoming unbearable and as I no longer need the insulation I feel it is time to say farewell. 


Real quick, we got 5 more miles of spraying done today—all by backpack.  I’m going to go watch some Game of Thrones and Firefly.  Everyone here seems to have similar tastes in games and shows as me… maybe I should look into a more science-like pathway.  Later all!
