May Day!\u00a0 That glorious day when Soviet leaders would parade fake ICBM’s down the main street of Moscow to impress the world with their ability to make fake ICBM’s.\u00a0 And the music<\/a>.\u00a0 Just inspirational.<\/p>\n

Today is the second beautiful day in a row and I’ll be heading out with Camera Girl to photograph Spring!\u00a0 \u00a0You know, renewal, rebirth, everything blooming, all that crap.\u00a0 She will be my driver and native bearer.\u00a0 A sort of combination of Frank Buck’s right hand man Ali and a Sherpa guide.\u00a0 Her job is to watch the road and if I shout to be let out on the road, she must try and find a spot where it won’t cause a major crash.\u00a0 Then she returns to pick me up after a few minutes without law enforcement intervening.\u00a0 It’s a delicate dance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yesterday I finally attacked the poison ivy.\u00a0 So far I seem to have escaped without dissolving into a puddle of festering sores and bubbling flesh.\u00a0 But there’s still time.<\/p>\n

Today Camera Girl alerted me to a war going on in the field.\u00a0 For the last three years running a pair of barn swallows have taken up residence in one of the blue bird houses I put up.\u00a0 And for the third year running a blue bird shows up after they’ve set up house keeping and tries to dispute their ownership.\u00a0 He’s like the Occupy Wall Street of birds.\u00a0 And every year they kick his butt and send him packing.\u00a0 These blue birds are pathetic losers and I am ashamed that I installed these houses for them.\u00a0 No wonder they’re endangered.\u00a0 I’m renaming the houses barn swallow houses.\u00a0 I’ll leave the government and Section 8 housing for those shiftless blue birds.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here’s one of their earlier attempts to steal back the house last year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So anyway today will be Camera Girl and I at play in the fields of the Lord.\u00a0 But I’m sure to be back later to complain about something else.\u00a0 Enjoy the day.<\/p>\n
