Not that it really needs to be said, but … Wow.

I’ve been using this thing like crazy lately. It’s teh awesome.
Here in the Colorado Front Range, the bubonic plague has long been known to fester amongst the prairie dog colonies that litter the landscape. Lately, though, it’s been encroaching on the suburban bliss of our “little boxes” by way of the squirrels that run our fences and the bunnies that ruin our lawns.
Of course, how did the moneky catch the disease? BY EATING A DEAD SQUIRREL! Stupid monkey.
What baffles me is I have yet to see a single flea since moving to Colorado, but it seems they’re out there. Guess they grow ‘em invisible ’round these parts.
Oh, and check this part out:
Although the plague, an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, is the same disease that killed 25 million Europeans in the 1300s, it now can be treated with antibiotics if caught early enough. Still, it is fatal about half the time, according to health experts.
Well, which is it, young feller? Treatable with antibiotics or 50% fatal?
It’s worth noting that, thus far, this year has featured one of the most fantastic Springs I’ve seen in the Denver area since 2000. The weather has been alternatingly warm and cool. We’ve had near-regular afternoon showers and/or thunder storms, which are never enough to disturb any grilling plans you might have, but always drop the approaching-hot temperatures down by a solid ten degrees just when you need it. The foothills are a shade of green not witnessed in these parts for at least half a decade.
Heck, my lawn is even doing relatively OK. (I still despise it, though. Stupid grass with it’s stupid weeds and stupid need for stupid water.) I gave my sprinkler system its first test run on Saturday. The pop-ups in the front yard are a bit suspect - not sure if the pressure was low at the time or if they just don’t pop like they used to. Bitches.
Carry on.
Update: A little green…
That’s what our waiter had tattooed on his knuckles last night, even though he seemed too young to know the movie. (We asked: the movie was his inspiration.) We managed to avoid calling him Ponyboy.
But we all know “Nothing gold can stay.“
In case you were wondering what’s up with the Jakester, I’ve got some stuff going on…
- Thursday, I’ll be going to the CEO’s house for drink, food, and cards (in order of likely importance).
- Friday, there’s a poker game at Matty’s house, which thankfully is within close proximity of my joint.
- Saturday, there’s roller derby, to which I may be dragging the boss again.
- And I believe Sunday is Mother’s Day, but there are no plans associated with that as of yet.
This is more activity than I usually have in a month, and I’ve already been a busy little bee lately. I’m not entirely sure I can keep up. I fear a backlash of hermitude.
Even that won’t last long, though, as we already have a party planned for the end of the month. Oh, and I’ve got Dr. Sketchy’s on the 21st, too. Goodness!
