    The triumphant return of the undead plastic army! They were up to fewer shenanigans than usual this year. I aim to do better next season.

    It used to be a Camry

    For a very long time, gold Camry’s were the worst car you’d encounter. Awful driving all around, not to mention the awful look. Today we face a gold Prius. Hovering 15 below the speed limit. Not too different, but definitely worse looking. And no, there were no children in the road. It was a school…

    A trip to the office

    Due to commuting habits, I was kicked out of my office and back to the cube farm. Came on to move myself out on this bustling Thursday! Oh yes, the only other entity here was this wasp. There’s a chronic wasp problem in the building. The back – to – office lifestyle just isn’t really…

    The lone bud was extinguished. Gardening is hard, particularly when kids are in the mix!

    The Lone Bud

    Normally, late September brings piles of montauk daisies. This year’s weird weather, coupled with the brutal onslaught of errant basketballs, and the usual horde of awful beetles left the daisies with literally, ONE bold bud.

    Dis Too Early

    Fall started early this year – the excessively beautiful weather through the end of Summer, and utter lack of rainfall made the maples dump leaves very early. Then it continued for 6 more weeks..
