So, if you Google "Dylan Gold Stink" (you might be tempted to add an "s"), you'll find that his tree table has popped up on tons of sites all over the world. How to turn it into $$? He's trying to get noticed by a good design mag...
Otherwise, with weather in the low 70s with puffy little clouds floating about (all of them exceedingly stingy with the precip) we're just truckin' along. I'm almost finished with the directional signs to our house. What I thought would be a simple, one-afternoon's-worth of puttering in the shop has turned into major brain surgery. Only 53-or-so separate steps. Pics when I get them posted.
Garden is ready except for some important modifications to the existing irrigation system. So the poor little seedlings still waiting...
Meanwhile, the good citizens of our county have been kind enough to provide some diversion along the way. Here's a sampling from the Blotter:
"8:13 a.m.--A caller reported a swimming pool was on the Idaho Maryland Road offramp of the Golden Center Freeway. Officers responded."[with in their swim trunks and floaties]
"1:54 p.m.--A caller from the 16700 block of Highway 49 near Newtown Road reported seeing a man with red hair and a beard at a picnic table smoking something out of a can."[could it have been Prince Albert?]
"11:29 p.m.--A woman reported she had just thrown hot tea on a person who was causing a fight in her home on the 16700 block of Autumn Oak Road. Responding deputies found the male half of the household had left for the evening."[to find alternate liquid refreshment, no doubt]
"9:34 a.m.--A woman from Zion Street reported a boyfriend dumped garbage all over the house the previous night , and he keeps mercury in the freezer. The boyfriend ingests the mercury daily because he believes he is a yogi and will same the world from destruction. The caller said there are no weapons in the house. An officer contacted the caller."[What could I possibly add to this little scenario?]
"12:47 a.m.--A caller reported that four juveniles wearing white shirts and black shorts and other juveniles wearing black clothing were climbing on walls at a business on Plaza Drive. Police made contact with the juveniles who said they were making a "super-hero video." They were told to go home."[Hey! It's an indy film..."Crouching Muledeer, Hidden Jackrabbit!"]
"9:39 a.m.--A deputy stopped a vehicle on Highway 49 at John Barleycorn Road and arrested a person on suspicion of possession of a weapon not immediately recognizable as a gun and driving with a suspended license."["not immediately recognizable"? Did it look like a knife, at first?]
[and, again]
"11:11 a.m.--Police contacted a 54-year-old man lying in a ditch on East Main Street. Police called an ambulance for the man [that's good] and took a report for possession of a weapon not immediately recognizable as a firearm."[what?]
"8:52 p.m.--the GVFD responded to a report of a person stuck in the bathtub. Firefighters located the stuck occupant and extricated her from the tub. The woman suffered no injuries."[well, no physical injuries, maybe...]
"7:37 p.m.--A woman from the 200 block of Brock Road reported "something just went down" around the corner from her house and would like an officer to look into it."[perhaps it was just a James Brown party]
"4:28 a.m.--A caller from the 18700 block of Meadowlark Court reported that when she awoke, she found knives in her couches."[How, exactly, did she find them, one wonders...]
"11:24 am.m--A caller reported finding a knife."[a lot of that going around, apparently]
"7:24 p.m.--A caller from the 13000 block of Peninsula Drive reported an airplane kept landing in her lake. The woman was referred to the Federal Aviation Administration."[Yeah, they'll send someone right out]
"6:40 a.m.--A woman called from the 11000 block of Colfax Highway to report a man wearing a bright yellow bandana and a lime green jacket tried to get into her house. A deputy took a report."["Clever Camouflage Bandit strikes again...]
Stay tuned for the riveting Weekend Report, coming up...
