Japanese knotweed shall inherit the northwest. It is common in most low elevation westside drainages, forming thickets like bamboo up to 10 feet high, choking stream banks. It doesn't respond to any herbicides and the root ball is large and inpenetrable, like concrete. The only way to remove it is with heavy equipment or continually cut back foliage during the growing season for at least 3 years. Hardly anyone is aware of it. The state doesn't do much about it, there's too much of it and it would cost too much. It came here as an Asian import landscape plant.

The "Friends" TV show, the first couple of times I watched it. Now it seems more like:

Not a problem, backyard shed summer beer drinking buddy: (Otherwise stay on page one, this thread has gone to seed)

the straw in the shed tickles.

I reserve the right to stalk my own yard on my side of the fence until George takes that right away. Besides, I know all of my neighbors and none think I'm creepy and they know I exist. We're all quite homespun out in the hinterlands - gardening, sharing homegrown produce, fishing, fence building together. I sent this photo to all family and friends and everyone thought it was hilarious. Not so bad. Same neighbor mowed the lawn in summer in same attire - so? How about a new forum: creepy-until-proven-innocent no-humor-allowed Spray? Now let me get back to that garbage sifting...

My yard doesn't think I'm creepy. It's used to me.

The coming of spring is sure nice. It's mainly just the little things, wandering around the back yard and enjoying nature. Hey, how about a new photo contest category ? - Back yards.

Nerd humor:

OOPS, major thread drift, sorry Seahawks fans.

Issacraw apparently aint no football town.

Please, please don't end it until arch gets online and gives her two cents. Archie where are you ? The chica team needs you.

that you are the first person to say that. (good one though )

The men here are admittedly too mellow and laid back to be any match for the women. The women here totally rock !

I don't know if they have aired before: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 8:00 PM Channel: 9 #3302 Deadly Ascent *Letterbox/HD where available* #3302 NOVA travels to Mount McKinley, the highest and coldest mountain in North America. Every year over 1,000 people attempt to climb to its summit, some never return alive. Known by its Native American name, Denali has earned a reputation as one of the deadliest mountains on earth. 'Deadly Ascent' brings together a team of doctors, rescuers and world class mountaineers as they try to solve the mystery behind these deaths. Tuesday, January 17, 2006 9:00 PM Channel: 9 NONE K2, the second highest mountain in the world, has earned the nickname 'The Savage Mountain' because of its violent storms and catastrophic avalanches. Fewer than 200 climbers have conquered K2 and only five of them were women. None of these five women is alive today. WOMEN OF K2 follows former Spanish model Araceli Segarra as she embarks on a route to the summit never before attempted by a female climber. Through Segarra's odyssey, the documentary also chronicles the unforgettable journeys of the five women who were killed following their passion for climbing, and explores the extreme personality, impeccable climbing skills and sheer perseverance necessary to achieve such a formidable goal.

No argument. Photo courtesy of female Exec Asst to CEO. I'm managing to fit in to NerdsCo, USA quite well, thanks.

and today I would rather just go home...

and you thought that your job sucked...

My epitaph.

look east from various points in Seattle and Bellevue and Mt Si is visible.

Also, another good one:

This is the 8 X 10 glossy that I like to keep under my pillow:

this is all complete nonsense. any true self-respecting geek collects 8 X 10 glossies of his favorite chicks and keeps them under his pillow. any actual date or social contact goes against the primary directive of geekdom. it would waste too much time and money that could be better spent on beer, fast food and video games.

lock the front door at night and you should be alright.
