Gimme Shade


My summer project! Create some shade out of 140 feet of poly shade fabric, turned out pretty good, though I fear the 70mph gusts of winter! May have to take it down before the storms start.

Crocodile Hunter Dies...

An unfortunate incident took the life of the crazy croc hunter yesterday, rest in peace Steve you maybe shouldn't have removed the barb yourself.

It seemed to me watching this show was somewhat like watching NASCAR, you were always waiting for the wreck to happen. This obnoxious man was always harassing animals in some way, wrestling crocs and being spit on by venomous snakes. All in the name of edu-tainment. He taught children all over it was ok to catch a rattle snake if you're a "professional." Given all his annoying habits of overanimation, I still liked the dude I guess. On hearing of his death, I feel its a loss, rather than being vindicated in some misanthropic way. Even though he died doing what he loved, (what an annoying cliche), I'm sure he would still rather be alive. RIP
