Thirteen Days Until We Leave Arizona

Word of the Day

PEBKAC - Problem Exists Between the Keyboard And Chair.

The question is, do I feel lucky? We need to put pre-emergent weedkiller out. Unfortunately, the directions tell you that you need to do it just before it rains. In other words, it needs to get wet before it'll start working. But...this is a desert. We've got a chance of rain for tomorrow but... It's not like we've had a whole bunch of rain here. Oh well, I guess HTP and I can always drag out the hose and "rain" on the yard. Anyway, the stuff is supposed to last for three months. Hopefully it'll last a bit longer than that since we're going to be gone for six months. Oh well, if all else fails, we'll have Arizona daughter stop by and retreat the yard. I'm thinking that we'll start having weed problems again after the monsoon starts up. Monsoon = Dust Storms+Weed seeds+Rain. Rain+ Weed seeds = Weeds.

Fulton's Law of Gravity

The effort to catch a falling, breakable object will produce more destruction than if the object had been allowed to fall in the first place.
