assault on the backyard, days five through ?

this picture has absolutely no relevance to this post--i just like seeing the gaido's crab being so lovingly cared for. this was in preparation for hurricane rita (the one soon after katrina) two years ago.

in the past week, exactly one hour of work has been done by the sewer guys on my yard, so not too much collateral damage, or progress, or anything. and, one of gus' best friends almost fell into one of the septic tank pits in the backyard yesterday, which scared the hell out of me. it is time to make some angry phone calls! i figure my karma ratio is on the high side today because i signed up for PNM sky blue--90% of our power is now coming from wind energy rather than coal, and, to quote miss martha, that is a good thing. until we can afford the massive array of photovoltaics that we intend to install on the roof, we will have to content ourselves with this. and, when we do get the PV panels, we will then sell energy back to PNM and stick it to the man.

my post at duke city fix turned out to be a good one--21 comments (including a couple of my own)! see the final version here.

what's up with y'all?
