Now they merely collect two-wheeled cars there. They also hand out "How to spot an FBI agent" pamphlets. I think your Airstream purchase solution is ideal, and the ants will love you (they express that by circling their feelers above their heads) forever.

The landlord has promised to come by and steal the tomatoes while I'm on the road - so the deer won't eat them. He's generous that way. The local Sheriff was by last week - not visiting me, but accompanied by two large trailers and six other men-in-black sedans to confiscate the contents of a nearby storage shed. The FBI came by later, looking for evidence around the area of people cooking meth. I guess that's the kind of neighbors one gets in a rural area. The FBI uses marketers now. They have their own material they hand out - brochures about "How to Spot Meth Labs On Your Property" and "10 Tips for Spotting Illicit Drug Use Among Your Tenants." Now everyone gets to play cop. Weird. I worry about the safety of my ants, even though they haven't arrived yet. I'm debating whether to take my ant farm with me on the road or not. I hate having to worry about monitoring the temperature of their little home, but I also don't want to miss the great tunnel excavation reveal. If I had an Airstream it wouldn't be such a concern. That's it! Buy a $50,000 Airstream for my $19.95 ant farm! I will, if I can find tomatoes who won’t suffer a fear of heights.

I do like your observation about the Hide-A-Key boulder: It's a large, playground ball covered by a type of cement. We have a couple in our yard, for the gnomes to play with while we're sleeping. Yep, that's your book and pinecone envelope in the shot, immortalized. Thanks again. You do have a sharp eye. Plant those tomatoes in a pot on the roof...

Is that a PUCE chair? Damn. I've ALWAYS wanted to use PUCE in a sentence and now you've handed me the opportunity. Thank you. It explains a lot about you. The large "Hide-a-Key" boulder is a nice touch. I love the natural landscaping and the alien by the doorstep. Always nice to be welcomed home by an extraterrestrial. Hey! Is that my book and prose-laden envelope I see on the settee? (Another word I always wanted to use.) I feel a strange desire to put on my pedal pushers and rock back with an ice drink in a colorful tin cup. Sigh. I'm jealous. This is SO much roomier and nicer than my van. My window looks out on a parking lot. However, to one side is a creek and woods. At night we often frighten herds of deer who are bounding through the parking lot looking for forage. They have such great noses they have smelled the thought and intention I have of planting tomatoes. Anyway - glad to finally see the Airstream Tom!! And to be the easter egg on the settee...across from the puce chair. Puce? Is that a PUCE chair? Damn. I’ve ALWAYS wanted to use PUCE in a sentence and now you’ve handed me the opportunity.
