Happy week

I feel so happy this week for at least 3 reasons.

1) I found and bought Starship Troopers 3 - Marauders, which is better than the 2nd film and has the actress who was T'Pol in Enterprise but is more sexier.

2) When the Xbox 360 game Halo 3 came out, I bought several merchandisng stuff which included a small bust of the main charactor Master Chief which came as well and is brilliant.

3) I finally got Battlestar Galactica Season 4 DVDs, which included Razor, which I got on DVD already but the rest of the season, I have seen yesterday and this morning and can't wait for the final season.

I can't wait for the final season either!

I'm glad you're having a happy day. My only plan for the day is to rid the front lawn of the couple hundred or more acorns that the three large oak trees have been dropping everywhere for the last few weeks.

I was thinking the same thing... Smile you need to recruit some squirrels to aid in the cleanup Wink

I wish I had squirrel helpers! Instead, they just try to bury the acorns in the lawn, not take them away.

I ended up with more than 500 acorns today -some came up with the lawn sweeper, but most I had to go up and down the lawn, squatting, and pick up by hand -tedious.

And, in another month, all the leaves will start coming down too!

Well if you lawn sweeper did not pick them why could you not just leave them on the ground? They would have rotted over the winter and acted as good mulch. Or you could have picked them up in another month when the leaves came down and you were raking the leaves.

BTW: What is a lawn sweeper? Is it similar to a lawn mower but it sucks up leaves?

A lawnsweeper operates solely on human energy -you push it and it has brushes that rotate as the wheels turn and sweeps up stuff (it's best at leaves) into a bag behind.

I would leave the acorns on the ground if there weren't so damned many of them, and if they would rot faster -if it were wetter in Indianapolis, I think they would rot better.

Waiting to rake them up with the leaves is what I did last year, and it proved difficult as leaves clump together and can be scooped up en masse, but acorns do not and cannot.

I'm heading into the time of year now when I really wish this house weren't surrounded by so many big trees...

Thank you for informing me about a lawnsweeper LB. Around here we used leaf blowers. You blow the leaves into a big pile and then pick them up and bag them.

Last year was the first year that I was able to rake the leaves to the street and the city would come around and suck them up and mulch them, selling the mulch back to us, next spring, if we want to use it instead of buying bags from the nurseries. (Our neighborhood has reached an age where the town deems the trees old enough for them to do the job of leaf pickup, 30+ years.)

I remember where I use to live, we had a huge oak tree, but I guess we had so many squirrels that we never had many acorns on the lawn. And the Squirrels that WERE stupid enough to walk on the ground were chased by my dog. I think she caught 2 while we lived there. Both times because the squirrel would start climbing the tree and then decide to come down for some reason and my dog would get it as the squirrel charged for another tree.

Oh yes, I forgot, last week I also had 3 music CDs, the first and recent CDs of one of my favourite bands, and the 3rd Queen album as well.

I was too excited to remember them.

Squirrels are not very bright. I nearly ran one over with my car a month ago. It was running across the road, but far enough ahead of me that I knew it would be out of the way before I got to it, but damned if the stupid thing didn't suddenly reverse direction and run back whence it came -my car went right over it, but it was lucky enough to be between the wheels.

I love getting new CDS too. The BF just got "Dave Gilmour: Live in Gdansk", and has been playing it frequently, so now I keep finding myself humming Pink Floyd tunes.

Squirrels are the tool of the devil. I think they're all Galactor mecha in disguise. It would explain their lack of intelligence.

Do you mean Galactor goons and Mech captains?

Yes, don't underestimate the evil power of acorns! More than once I've been standing on the front lawn and had one fall and hit me on the head -they hurt!
