Deforestation and Ecoterrorism

Yesterday, I got home from work and decided that it was time... Time for the ecoterrorist act of deforestation and destroying the delicate ecosystem and practically rain forest that had once been my backyard. Okay, so maybe that's a bit over-the-top, but not by much! It seriously was a jungle back there. And I swear on my Uncle Howard's beard that it grew at least 6 inches since Saturday!! So anyway, busted out the mower, ran it down 2 or 3 times just to get it to a manageable length that the mower wouldn't die, ran out of gas, went and got some more gas at the gas station, refueled, hacked down the lettuce some more... Yeah, it took a long time. Guess that's what I get for waiting so long to do the first mow of the year. The yard looks amazing now. We can finally see why it's been worth paying for the lawn treatments as our lawn is now lush and full and growing at an alarming rate. The experience, though, also had its perks. Perk 1) my peach tree has blossoms! Seriously, that stoked me out. Perk 2) I got to take some leftover gasoline and burn the ants and their colony that started to invade the cracks in my driveway. (Another act of ecoterrorism.) So after all was said and done, I'd call it a victory. In closing, a quote by the great snowboarding philosopher, Jeremy Jones:

"Do I think I'm an ecoterrorist? I don't think I'm an ecoterrorist. If you're callin' me an ecoterrorist and you ride a snowboard, you've got issues of your own to deal with, dude."
