To be honest, I barely notice it, but I know it's there. Sort of like how Wisne always just "happens" to be in the room when "his wife" is watching vapid pop culture TV.
This is why we can't have nice things
I was serious about that being good part, and it looks like Lawrence is going to ruin it for the rest of y'all with his jab at Southerners. Video of my "English-language-butchering" father explaining sorghum processing won't be posted until I get a public apology.
Sometimes you can't help being an ass, but sometimes you can.
It takes like wild, gamey honey
Dad has been helping Tipton Haynes, a local living history farm, make sorghum molasses for the past ten years. I'm not sure how he got involved, but like all of the odd stuff he does - being a standardized patient for the medical school, measuring road race courses for the track club - once he gets started he goes all out.
It was a little rainy, unfortunately. And when I say rainy, I mean we had our own flash flood warning.
If everyone is very good, tomorrow I'll treat you to the video that the Johnson City Press made.
More pictures here.
Athens dries up well
Well, it did for a few days, although they issued a flash flood warning yesterday morning.
Helping a box turtle cross the street; right after this Steve made me rub Purell all over my hands because "turtles carry bacteria". Let the turtle flu rumormongering begin!
Justin is concerned about something, probably the fact that he'll be our only friend in Athens and will be forced to come to all our dinner parties.
Locklessness update
Today we looked at a duplex where the current tenants stored all their bicycles and kayaks outside in the carport, chainless and free as squirrels. Then Steve met someone at a bar and I killed time in the breezeway behind this Powerbook that was left unattended for over fifteen minutes. And then I decided to check the UGA crime logs, where I found that in the last week there have been six reported thefts. At a university of 34,000 students. And not only that, but last Wednesday someone found a hundred dollar bill in Myers Hall and turned it in. Of course this is all one giant hoax on the part of every citizen in Athens to make me stop hiding my electronics when I leave my house and I refuse to buy any of it.
The devil you know.
