Since the last posting back in February I haven’t done any posting. There was a certificate issue and I couldn’t get it fixed. It didn’t cause any problems it just caused the warning page to display anytime someone tried to go there. I think I finally got it corrected, although I guess I’ll never know because if I didn’t no one will go there. Under the assumption that I did I have updated with 4 things that have happened over the 8 months. Life is slow here and with the Rona it’s been even slower. So slow that this years calendar will probably be just pictures of the house. We will see what the rest of the year brings.

The Rona Garden
When we got home from China and Japan back in February it quickly became apparent that the world was going to come to a complete halt. Mary decided it was the time to start the planned garden project. The first phase was to build the Sidewalk to Nowhere through the Arch de Nowhere.
As the Rona continued the garden kept growing until it got to this by early summer.
All told something over 100 plants, more than 10 trees and close to 200 bags of mulch.
So with that much effort of course there had to be what I’m sure will be an Oscar nominated documentary. You can watch it here right now.
Be sure to tune in for next years expansion.
The case of the hit and run on the mailbox.
Again this detective had the opportunity to interface with the local police department. It seems that our mailbox was the victim of a violent and unprovoked hit and run.
AS you can see from the police report this crime wave was quickly ended.
” On 10/21 2020,1 was dispatched to a hit and run crash at 5074 Rock Springs Rd involving a white box truck and a brick mailbox at said address.
I made contact with the box truck in front of 5730 Rock Springs Rd. It had damage to the rear and left rear tire. I made contact with the driver, later identified as Juan Rangel-Cervantes. He stated through the passenger, Jose
Medrarro-Romero, as translater, that he was trying to tum around on Rock Springs Rd. He backed into the mailbox, and then left leaving away from Smyrna on Rock Springs Rd. Mr. Medrano stated that they left the scene because they did not want to get into trouble. They were aware that they had hit the mailbox. There was still brick dust on the damage in the rear of the box truck. The passenger stated that they tried to find a safe place to pull over, but could not find a viable place. There were several very large drive way entrances that they passed before coming to a stop in the roadway, creating a traffic hazard.
Another officer on scene made contact with the witness, Steve Jones, and the victim, Michael Srnith. The witness stated that he heard a loud crash. He observed the mailbox destroyed and laying on the ground, and a white box
truck going west on Rock Springs Rd. Mr. Jones then got into his vehicle and located the truck down the road a ways broken down.
Mr. Rangel was cited for hit and run(13076), driving without a license, failure to exercise due care, and registration to be carried. He was cited and then released. The vehicle was towed by R&R Towing”
So we are on the hook for a new mailbox.
2020 and the 1000 year flash flood
On September 13 we got 6 inches of rain in about 4 hours. I think that ranks as a thousand year event. You will note that recently 1000 year events happen about every other year. No damage was done other than putting road rocks in the yard and leaving a big log to be removed. Here is the video recorded by the brave videographer.
The new and improved generation has arrived. II

Since this is being posted a couple months later here is a 2 month picture. He may have learned how to smile or he is just pooping, or both.
