Froth Slosh B'Gosh

Never Forget Them

It isn't about cookouts and picnics.

Its Not Easy Getting Old

I was doing yard work yesterday, and when I bent down to pick up a twig, I felt searing pain shoot across my lower back.  Its nothing serious, but the doc put me on pain medication and ant-inflammatories for the next week.  I'm also not allowed to do anything for the next two days aside from resting and shuffling about the house.  Good thing I got the garden in last week.

A Better View

Here's a better view of the Frothling's painting of a flower.  I know its a parent's nature to praise a child's work, but for a six-year old, I think this is remarkably good.  Mrs. Froth and I are going to have it professionally framed.

It's The Arts!

This is the painting of a flower the Frothling made in her kindergarten art class.

Vile

Just because you can do something, it doesn't mean you should.

Celebrity gossip website TMZ is reporting that George Zimmerman has relisted the gun he used to kill Trayvon Martin after another gun auctioneer cancelled bidding Thursday morning.

The starting bid for the Kel-Tec PF-9 9mm gun is $5,000. The gun was pulled off the auction for GunBroker.com earlier Thursday, and the website’s social media was locked down or deleted.

The auction is now being held by on the United Gun Group website.

I cannot think of a more offensive and tasteless thing to do.  This guy is making a living off of killing another human.  I don't care if you think Zimmerman was justified or not, auctioning off the weapon that killed Trayvon Martin is disgusting.  Well, I guess we'll find out how much a teenager's life is worth.

 

Where Are All The Mushrooms?

I went morel hunting over the weekend, and not only did I NOT find morels, I saw very few mushrooms at all.  I found a few clumps of inky caps, and some tiny, tiny dryad saddles.  I thought with the weather we've had, there would be mushrooms everywhere, but nope, very, very few.

These are the dryad saddles.  Sorry about the focus, but you can see by comparison with my thumb how small they are.  These mushrooms are usually the size of dinner plates this time of the year.

Seven more days of vacation.  We'll try again later.
