Nature at it's finest.

Why hello family! It's been a while and I need to fill you in on quite a bit

First off my job. It has some definite ups and downs. For one, I only work a maximum of 6 hours a day and get paid the full 8. Another is that I'm in the best shape of my life. I walk an average of 8 miles a day and drink about 50 oz. of water by 2 o'clock. I think the biggest benefit is all the time I get to think. I've thought about many many things in those quiet walks. Why the sky actually is blue, the marvel of a seed turning into a distinct plant, the fact that if I use the same amount of shampoo everyday from now until I'm 80 I'll have used about 35 gallons of shampoo. I've also had a million different thoughts on bugs.

Often I feel like I'm in an epic bug battle fought Star Wars style with my head as the death star. Dragonflies are X wings, Horse and Deer Flies are A wings, and nasty Mosquitoes are Tie fighters. The constant barrage of insects leaves me swinging at the air and slapping myself.

And I've run out of time so good day!
