The Ark

Posted by: RobDaHood, 3:46 PM GMT on April 12, 2012

I opened the door earlier this morning to let the dog take a walk and to inspect the garden area. I immediately noticed a strong smell of smoke in the air. The email and photos of Pottery's firefighting episode 2 days ago (to be included in comments section) were fresh in my mind, as was the NWS warning of fire weather this afternoon.

I walked the perimeter trying to determine the source. By the time I completed the loop, the smoke had thinned and I never detected a plume on the horizon, so with the stiff and variable breeze, I guess it was a good ways to the ENE of here.

Not a great way to start the morning. Low humidity, wind, very dry conditions, and lots of dead fuel on the ground from an very dry winter make perfect conditions for the rapid propagation of fires. These conditions are wide-spread this spring.

So...I'm keeping an eye out and I hope all of you are too.

Battle of the Bugs

Posted by: RobDaHood, 5:53 PM GMT on March 06, 2012

Well, there have been some interesting developments of late concerning my friend RTLSNK. (funny how many interesting developments he finds himself in the midst of). Once again he finds himself dealing with a creepy-crawly infestation. This time it's not rhino beetle giganticus, but perhaps something a bit more sinister. I'll just post the report I recently read from him:(begin Transmission)Todays Garden Report is brought to you by The Macon Master Gardener, Suga...

Fuzzy Fun!

Posted by: RobDaHood, 8:42 PM GMT on February 03, 2012

Well, it's been a while since we did animal stuff here, so after RTLSNK and I were posting some doggy pics this morning I got to thinking that we'd do a blog for the fuzzy friends.So, cute, strange, amazing, or just plain funny animals or maybe just a photo of your favorite pets. Doesn't really have to be fuzzy. If you're into goldfish or turtles, that will work too.Just keep it clean and fun.Enjoy!Here is a link to the previous blog.Create your own visitor map!a...

In Honor of the Veterans

Posted by: RobDaHood, 1:39 AM GMT on November 11, 2011

Friday, November 11, 2011Veteran's Day.People Sleep Peacefully in Their Beds at Night Only Because Rough Men Stand Ready to Do Violence on Their BehalfI feel compelled to post a blog honoring our Veterans for their service to our country. Serving in the military is not an easy way to make a fortune...in fact, for many it is hard just to make ends meet. Sometimes is is a thankless job, especially in modern times, when mass media and instant communication make it so...
