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!

St. Genevieve - 4/30

I may be Legolas’s equivalent in the realm of chemical application.  While the rest of my team averages 2 to 3 refills a day for their backpack sprayers I never have to reload.  I sprayed constantly today, determined to exhaust the pack but to no avail.  The only reason I ended up getting more chemical was because the UTV stopped by and the crew wanted me to have a sprayer with a larger capacity… They were unaware of the enchantment placed upon it, but I parted with Teasel’s Bane (I may have named it…) with only a moderate amount of fuss.

We knocked out a couple more miles today and I volunteered to join the fight on foot so somebody else could experience some variety here in St. Genevieve.  There were a TON of snakes.  One of them was 5 to 6 feet long.  Another one that I nearly stepped on was shaking its tail violently.  All of the poisonous snakes in this region have a diamond or leaner head with narrow eyes, but this one had a rounder head with eyes to match so we knew it was just an imitator.  Lili insists that somebody is going to suffer a snake’s wrath before this project is through—here’s hoping that’s not the case!


Well our chef tenderizing the meat disappeared so I better swoop in and rescue our dinner that consists of braughts, burgers, and a fruit salad.  I am not familiar with cooking any of these… so here goes nothing!  Later all!
