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!

Poplar Bluffs - 6/4

We’ve been set loose on a bike trail.  Our task is to clear the overgrowth and widen the trail.  I did a bit of chainsawing but my lopping skills were top notch so I was sent ahead with the hand tool.  I think we prepped 3 miles today.

Ugh, so hot… going to just write what comes to mind.

Ticks galore.
Rascally raccoons.
My cousin is a guitarist for Florida Georgia Line.
Seriously, he just got the gig, it is pretty. Awesome.
Refreshingly cold river water.

Ok, I got my mind back temporarily.  We’re on a tornado watch until 3 am.  We were making S’Mores when the camp host gave us the warning so we did about the quickest pack out ever.  We’re staying under a pavilion and a bathroom is our shelter if the time comes.  The thunder also is nonstop.  It’s pretty cool.


Well I think I am going to go enjoy the spectacle and stop assuming the Jeff Goldblum pose (the one he is in on the table in Jurassic Park)—it’s my writing pose here. I may be distracting my teammates with the sexiness.  Good night all.  Wish us well!
