Plant Maturity

• Order has been restored to the world.  #504 in the vending machine is Snickers again.
• My blog location tracker thing tells me I am getting hits from Russia now.  I believe I know who that reader is - a cuz's cuz.  Greetings young reader!
• While doing yard work on Saturday, I found the bottle of Pepsi shown below.  Do you think it's still good enough to drink?  How long has it been since they made 20 oz. pop bottles in that shape?
• If you're on facebook, you probably already saw this, but I will repeat myself.  You see, a year ago (maybe even two, I can't really remember) I went to Lowe's on or around Arbor Day, and they were giving away a free blue spruce tree to any customer who wanted one.  Who can turn down a free tree?  Not me.  Per the instructions he came with, I planted him in a pot for his first year (or two).  Now he (let's call him Billy the blue spruce) needs a permanent home, but I'm not sure I'm responsible enough or have the resources to give him what he needs, so I'm doing the mature thing and adopting him out to a more permanent home.  Let this be a lesson to you on why I should never be allowed to go to the humane society and why you should never offer me a free kitten or puppy.
• Speaking of Arbor Day, my track record isn't very good in that department.  When I was in elementary school, we got free ash trees one year, so I took it home and planted it.  However, over the course of my junior high and high school years, I believe I ran that guy over with the mower at least once, and I think I accidentally weed wacked him once too.  He was a hardy little thing and recovered from both.  When I'm home to ND in a few weeks, I'll have to check and see if he's still alive.  I'm guessing he's not.

You got the right one baby - uh huh!

 

Billy - Free to a good home.
