This History Channel program about the Appalachians that I'm watching just said that the existence of snake-handling churches is evidence of the religious tolerance in the mountains. Because most people aren't snake-handlers, but respect the right of other people to do it if they want to. I think there needs to be tolerance of a few more religions before it can be called "religious tolerance" rather than "tolerance of Appalachian traditions."
I suspect religiously intolerant people are less inclined to be vocal about it when faced with someone holding a poisonous snake.
Timelies all!
It's sunny now, but we're supposed to get rain tonight and tomorrow. Oh, joy.
I am sorry for all of you guys getting snow! That's bananas.
He ALSO found a guy called, interestingly, "Rototiller Guy" who will come and bring a crew and do all the rototilling for you. Cost of this? $200. They came this morning and did the whole thing. Tomorrow, we put in some raised beds and plant us some veggies!
That's awesome.
I have to get my act together to run some errands this morning. It looks beautiful outside, so that's good. Also awesome is how many errands I can run so close to my house. I knew there was a Papyrus nearby, but I forgot where. Looked online, and oh right, it's in the mall across the street!
I have done many hours of tilling. You got a deal.
It's raining now, but apparently we're going to have the apocalypse tonight, at least according to the TV weatherpersons. The much saner radio meteorologist says "heavy downpours, large hail, and the possibility of damaging wind and dangerous lightning."
Good god, y'all. I'm checking out my outlook calendar to brace myself for the week ahead. I have four, count 'em, four hours unscheduled next week. And about 95,000 things to accomplish during that time. I'm off on Friday so that skews it a little, but jeez.
You know how the volcano in Iceland had such a wacky name that news reporters couldn't pronounce it? (Crazy Icelanders!)
Iceland didn't name it. (I suspected as much...)
I want a rototiller guy! Right now I'd settle for a guy with a car to bring me lumber to make raised beds.
I'm at work. I don't have the only car in the parking lot, but I have the only car that isn't a Lexus, BMW, or Porsche.
Speaking of transporting lumber, I'm excited that my in-laws got a truck. Knowing someone you can borrow a truck from is better than actually owning a truck.
I'm at work. I don't have the only car in the parking lot, but I have the only car that isn't a Lexus, BMW, or Porsche.
Remember, just because someone owns a Lexus, BMW, or Porsche, doesn't mean they can afford it.
