Just a few comments on your commentary. (Audience participation IS welcome, right?) ;-)
The following night we traded the fall growing season's worth of green, leafy vegetables for 3 lumps of bull shit. Not a trade I would normally have engaged in, but, grateful as ever for small mercies, I philosophically dumped his payment for the vegetables into the compost heap and now optimistically look forward to the vegetables that the compost is going to help grow.
I was lucky enough to get a sneak preview of this journal entry when Bev told me about B&A (Butthead and Asshole) vandalizing your garden. I said it then and I'll say it again... I love your philosophy! :-)
It's interesting that he ate the cauliflower and kale but, other than something to sleep on, he ignored the squash. Squashed them, but ignored them.
I wonder if this is how "squash" got its name....
As a result of this minor debacle it is easier to tell the bulls apart -- Angus has a large stone embedded in his butt!
LOL!
The fence looks very "Wild Westish" -- sort of OK Corral on the cheap but without the gunfight or any of the characters -- although my neighbors didn't seem too impressed with its looks. But the price was fantastic -- about $10 in all. (I paid for some of the hinges and the fasteners.)
Sounds like our old stair railing... the one INSIDE OUR HOUSE! One of the contractors who tore it out and replaced it with a real banister... one you could actually hold onto without getting splinters, and one that looked decent to boot... said it looked like something you'd keep sheep in. So I think I have a pretty good mental pic of your garden fence!
Our garden fence consists of an interesting variety of portable corral panels, sheep-tight fence, chicken wire and snow fence! Oh, and rotting lodge pole pine fence rails that are probably 20 years old. So we can relate! As long as it keeps the critters out and the veggies in, and doesn't require a second mortgage, we're good with it! :-)
The steep uphill road leading to the property claimed one of my tires this week - shredded it right down to the steel casing. I had been bragging that I could drive the hill without needing 4 wheel drive - it just took "technique". Now, with less hubris, a smaller bank balance, 4 new tires and a whole new understanding of the dangers of spinning tires on a bad dirt road, I'll hit 4 wheel drive every time I try that hill. How's that for technique?
Gosh, you obviously never took the same college courses Dubya did... the ones that teach you to never admit a mistake (even to yourself) or adopt a better course of action! The one that says, "Hubris -- it's a GOOD thing! For it separates the arrogantly powerful from the weak, namby-pamby hoi polloi!"
I definitely want to be able to run the popcorn maker!

Glad you've got your priorities straight. :-)
