The rats at the Jetty are running rampant … 🐀
The rats at the Jetty are running rampant. They may be multi-million dollar homes, beautiful waterfront property, cool view of the bridge, BUT. Between the hundreds of geese crapping all over their lawns, and the rats that run rampant, I gotta believe the homeowners at the jetty ain’t […]

Kemosabe , we have maize to trade. Most people just grow weed these days. But, you can’t eat weed. We have no idea how, or why, but we have corn growing in the front garden. Must be from something the cats pooped out. Either way, there’s a few […]
This Monarch butterfly gets added to me collection … 🦋
This Monarch butterfly decided to end it’s short life on our picnic table. I spotted it as I was working in the yard. I like to think that he knew if he landed there, he won’t become a bird snack. So, now he is added to our neat […]

I fixed their asses, arrogant bastards ….
Some knucklehead in Malba decided to remove all the No Standing 9pm – 9am signs along the jetty, and replace them with fraudulent No Standing Anytime signs. A real cheap job too, cause they only printed one side of the sign. Besides, it’s missing all of the usual […]
Now this was interesting … ants attacking praying mantises …
2 weeks ago this praying mantis egg case produced about 200 mantids. I left it outside, after they all emerged. Or so I thought. The other day, I happen to notice more mantids emerging. As I’m watching I then notice an army of ants start to arrive and […]
