goat trail, now with 30% fewer trees!
March 5, 2010
Some people came and cut down a bunch of trees near the Monastery today. When I went over to take a few photos after work, there was a group of deer standing around the (now quiet) machinery, looking confounded. Of course they’re camera shy, so all you get is one tiny deer hiding in the shadows framed by the tree-ripper there. No, really, she’s there. Look harder.
Across the road the carnage was worse, and the steep, rocky little goat trail that the students walk (us middle aged old coots whose best years of cardiac health are behind us take the longer, more gently sloping path) is now a clearing big enough for a game day tailgate party. I can’t imagine what they might be building in such a spot, although there is a sewer at the top of the path. Where the path used to be, that is.
Phrases I need to work on saying less often, all of which show up here in my video narration, include:
1) adding “right now” onto the end of an otherwise perfectly finished sentence;
2) “. . . I tell you what” (picked up while living in Georgia, reinforced by a recent King of the Hill binge);
3) “Jesus Murphy”.
I’m clearly some kind of hayseed. At least I didn’t swear. Wait, is one of those a swear?
