Cause and effect

posted in environment |

Today I learned an amazing thing: I can watch earlier episodes of Judge Judy on YouTube. If I find myself feeling blue, I can just call up one of those moments that remind me “Your life could be much, much worse”. Now, the availability does not correlate with intention, on my part (that’s fake legalese, since I have the JJ spirit inside me). It’s just good to know about it.

I think the feeder-squirrel has caught on. Cause and effect. Human appears in doorway, and some tiny bead smacks the critter upside the tailbone. I’ve noticed that once I’m in view, he does the “I’m outta here” routine for a few minutes. Guess I now have a new (unpaid) duty. A single question remains… am I being tag-teamed here? I know that their cohort has a minimum of five members. Are they pretending to be one, solo recalcitrant, or am I now in charge of training the whole line to avoid the bird seed trap?

The PM is now up in YMM, for a tour of the damage. On one side, praise. On the other, a steady stream of haters, wanting to know why he didn’t put the whole wildfire out by himself within the first afternoon. Do we usually assume that politicians have superhero abilities?

Called the gravel man, this afternoon. The sooner he delivers, the sooner I can deploy our planting solution. I’m pumped about the possibilities here! Fresh produce! Maybe I should plant some of my favourites: pineapples, coffee and seedless grapes. And oranges.
