I’ve been fighting a lot with Fedex lately. I’ve been receiving a misfits market box in the mail for years now. Misfits market has a deal with Fedex. FedEx delivers the package. In the entirety of the time I have had the service, I have never had to sign for the package, nor have I …

Learning to Change a Tire
When the flood happened i stayed home from work for 2 days. The first day i stayed home because the river was rising and i didnt want to be separated from my animals when it took the bridge and cut us off from the rest of the towns and cities. Who would feed them, hive …
July 16, 2026
I knew it was going to happen again yesterday but nobody would listen to me. Everybody thought i was paranoid…dramatic. Its not like last year, they said. See, the bridge is still there. Yes its flooding but this time its not up to the bridge yet and this time we have bridge officials and the …
A Raccoon Problem
When it rains it pours. 3 days in a row i’d seen eyes in the dark and while they could have been one of my neighbor’s outdoor cats they looked a bit too high off the ground to belong to a cat and unfortunately i had my money on coon. On the 4th day a …

The Neighbor’s Longhorns
One day i came home and the neighbor’s longhorns were right up near the fence. They weren’t friendly like his previous cows so i rarely got a good look at the longhorns but this day no they stayed within view for a good while and i could see all their magnificent patterns.
Garden Update
There are only okra and sungold tomatoes in the garden this year. It is an environment inhospitable to gardening. Ive decided to just do what i can with the greenhouse and grow lights. They are both rather flexible and tolerant plants.
