Trees, today!

Dr. John, Betty, and assorted Linnas: I saw the reports of severe weather in Wisconsin. I hope you guys are safe and well!

I'm in a time crunch with a BIG PROJECT that has to be finished by Friday night, so I won't be around much for the rest of this week. I'll tell you moe about that next Monday or Tuesday.

In the meantime, I'll try to drop by once or twice for comments, and to post some eye candy.

No funny stuff while I'm away!

In local news, a 68-year-old man was arrested at the local Greyhound Bus Station. Authorities found over $2,000,000 (yes, that's TWO MILLION DOLLARS) worth of Black Tar Heroin, in small packages, strapped to his body and concealed in his "sack lunch."

Hey, a guy's gotta eat!

No rain in the forecast . . . still.

Edit: I've been trying to upload these pics for nearly five hours. Blogger, what's up with that???

Today, we were expecting a veritable deluge. Oh, joy!

This morning's weather report explains that said deluge will completely bypass the entire county. ~ Sigh ~

In protest of Mother Nature's abrupt brush-off, I've posted two "hot" pics.

In other news, three masked men robbed a local "Jack in the Box", overnight.

"Would you like fries with that?"

Enjoy!

Under Siege!

Because of a strange pattern of drought, rain, and summer heat, parts of this fair city are aswarm with countless Snout Butterflies! In my garden, clouds of the little invaders are flitting from Mountain Laurel to Lantana to Fig Tree in an endless loop, and even steppping out to the mail box entices them to dive-bomb me like tiny, fuzzy missiles.

I've attempted a stylized, pretty version of the "Snout", 'cause, frankly, they look a little like airborne winter leaves. Kind of . . . brown.

On the one hand, I'm pleased to provide a verdant haven for them; on the other, they're becoming a little like "The Man Who Came To Dinner."

Time for them to move along!
