So I was at work today and I heard this come on over the loud speaker.  Click on it and then continue reading while you listen.  Maybe it was just the combination of the music and the man I had just waited on with no teeth who clearly had not showered in months but I just about died.  In EVERY other setting, that song is hardly wroth hearing, in this one however, it fits the customers I see every day to a tee!  The weather is getting nicer up here and the means the really strange ones come out of hiding and start going shopping.  We were SLAMMED at work today finally!  I’ve been waiting for a weekend like this one for months and finally we had a nice day with no rain and no wind.  People have finally realized that everything is pretty late this year  so they better get their shit going.  It will be full on summer in a few weeks now….we don’t get spring up here, just winter and summer.  Well, it won’t be that drastic but the season is very short up here, you’ve got to take full advantage of it when you have it.

Jirar comes home this next week, its unlikely I’ll have another entry on this blog until after he has gone again.  I spent my evening tonight outside raking leaves.  I got the entire back yard picked up and it looks amazing right now.  I have a big problem with gophers though or something.  There are lots of holes in the yard where the dirt has been pushed up.  I was a fool and left all the leaves from fall on the lawn all winter so it has taken me the better part of a week now to get them off the lawn now that it’s spring.  I pretty much have a lawn of dirt now.  I hope to God the grass grows.  I need to get out there now with the fertilizer and grass seed and see if I can push it along.  Once I get that done, I need to fumigate the yard.  I have huge problems with bugs at this property.  I can control them if I keep the grass very short and I spray killer all over the the yard.  Hard to do though becuase I have to get stuff that is pet safe and it’s not very effective.

OK, I need to get off to bed now.  I’ll write again in a week.
