How does Ypsi Pride Day work?

(This question is code for "my household of three soon-to-be Ypsi residents can't realistically expect to make it to Ypsi in time for the 7:30am kickoff - how would we go about finding and attaching ourselves to a project when we do make it?")

Also, I am happy to announce that Cara and I have been Ypsi homeowners for 3 days now, and are giddily happy to be able to express real Ypsi Pride. Yay!

And, p.s., Asian carp are scary.

Congratulations! That's fantastic! Yay!!!

Three residents?
Um...does resident #3 have a tail?

Yes, you can either sign up at the C of C link above OR, if you don't officially sign up, I understand you can just pick your sector and pick up trash/rake/merge with a planting group. The only thing is that there's a free lunch for those who officially register, though I'm sure you could register & show up later than 7:30--ask the C of C.

Yes, Asian carp are something. What's the deal with that pronated eye? (shudders) Just that bit of weirdness is enough to give me the quivers.

Oh, no - five then. Two with tails. 3 who might participate in Pride Day, due to possession of opposable thumbs.

Me, Cara, sis-in-law, kitten, and sis-in-law's bunny.

Your mortgage lifter is a tomato; ours is a family-tenant. :)

Heh. :)

I guess the bun could help by chewing down all "noxious" weeds over 10 inches high. I used to walk my erstwhile Lop on a leash and that was darn cute. You could hook the leash to a belt loop and as you work the bunny could hop-'n-mow in a 1-yard perimeter around you. Like a Roomba or something.

Story on the 10 people running for the 4 Ypsi City Council seats.

I should try that bunny mower thing. The day after closing, I went over after work, hauled out one of the two lawnmowers the sellers had abandoned under the porch (er, granted us along with the appliances), and tackled our way-over-ten-inches back lawn. I then resolved to get a pet goat.

(Actually, my real strategy is just to dig up all the lawn and plant stuff. p.s., I think I have more tomato and pepper (hot and sweet) seedlings than I need, and am happy to bestow them upon anybody who can use 'em. I can leave them on my front porch or yours...)

Murph! Join me in lawn destruction! There's nothing more rewarding than ripping out the "hairy gas sponge" and seeing the good clean dirt underneath, ready for seeds and all sorts of good things.

If you ask me.

Hm. I think it's generous of you to offer seedlings. Does Growing Hope have any use for donated plants, I wonder?

Just appeared on Freecycle:

"Looking for Eros the god of love figure or bust head relating to
mythology. Please email if you have one and are tired of looking at
her."

I'd thought Eros was a guy. But what do I know.

"Most candidates have said they decided to run to lead the city out of its financial problems."

Because nobody wants to be the guy who says, "Why should you elect me? 'Cause this crash is gonna be totally sweet!"
