Miasmatic Review

I need a self mowing lawn.

Well, I really need to do some yard work. Beside the dead squirrel that has been in my front yard for almost two weeks, it hasn’t been mowed in almost three. Part of that has been because I’ve been out of town, the other has been that ever day I went to mow the lawn, the skies opened up and rained on me. I’m not fond of mowing in the rain. It’s supposed to rain of an on for the next three nights, and then I’m busy again. It looks like I’m just going to have to bite the bullet, go out and mow in the rain. Especially since that nomadic tribe of plains people have returned. I really wish I had some of my re-enacting buddies with me to help fight them off. Or give me beer. O’well, I’ll do what I have to do.

As for the Squirrel, well lets just say I’ve chosen to ignore it. What better way to keep the neighbors at bay then having a rotting animal carcass at the base of your driveway? Yea sure it’s been there since about July 3, well at least that’s when I noticed it. With us being busy and gone, I just haven’t put much thought into it. However with all the heat we had last week the thing has gone bloated and popped already. It’s pretty much just a furry fly covered skeleton that is getting ready to stand up and start walking the earth in search of squirrel brains. I’ve got to go pick it up tonight because it’s in the way of the mower, and as much as I know it would make my neighbors all squeamish to see it, I’m not mulching a damned squirrel.
