Reasons to be cheerful!

I'll be spacing it off the wall a bit to catch their toes. If that doesn't work (it probably won't), I'll cut some of the wires and bend the ends up so that it is then pointy all over.

perhaps an electric fence?

i have had good luck with those under other circumstances.

If you can find an Energizer cheaply enough this is a good plan.

I did consider an electric fence. I have video cameras around the front of the house, which primarily are for deterring the one neighbor from vandalism. I can see them climbing the wall from one camera. It would be amusing to watch it crawl up the wall and then get a jolt.

Scene: heat cracked window:

You can't fix that window, call a man to do it

I can fix that, I just drill out those four rivets
I did have to do some convincen with a chisel

The pane was released and took to glass man
$90 instead of $180 if we had made him come

Excellent. Saving $90 super. Doing what your wife said you couldn't, priceless!!!

Heh, I guess perspective is important here. There are many possibilities to consider, such as, in a way, she caused BPII to fix the window himself and save money...

I'll hopefully be starting dance lessons soon. There's a studio with an introductory three private lesson scheme to get you in the door. Can't be afraid to suck at something new.

the family is off to the canadian border for thanksgiving, leaving me to feed the cats, dogs, fish, goats, donkey, and possums.

so now i can clean the kitchen without listening to how i'm doing it wrong. throw out all the moldy food in the ice box without offending anybody. sweep the floor until it's sort of clean.

and cook some butter-fried mushrooms with green onions and dandelion greens, lemon squeezing on top.

maybe i'll do some brown rice tomorrow. still have a lot of greens to go through. nobody eats greens but me.

shit fire this is good

I've never had that, but some butter-fried mushrooms with green onions, wow! I could eat that every day. 

[Dark Lightning]

We usually dice up some fresh garlic cloves in the sauteed mushrooms, but I can imagine what the green onions would be like in there- tasty! As for dandelion greens, I'd have to find some that haven't potentially been hydrated with something other than water. Dogs all over the neighborhood!

[billy rubin]

i can buy them by the bunch in the local grocery store

all the wild stuff is dormant right now
