Well, finally the Grounds Committee wrote a letter to the caretaker that we all agreed was suitable (well, I wrote it, but using the decided upon instructions) and... still no one liked it! Finally the Association President just went out and talked to the guy (which I'd have voted on if anyone had just offered that as an option, jeez.)
Anyway, new task: figure out...

I wonder if you could do some under ground meshing that goes about 6 feet deep or whatever depths they go under, then go up about a foot high?
Why can't I get myself to do something useful? I have like 10 different things that need to be done; yet instead I'm wasting the evening taking pictures of corpses from rotten.com and then running them through a paint palette generator and then going to Behr.com and painting the sample rooms in corpse colors, and then posting about it on SG.

Maybe you should try setting yourself small achievable goals and rewarding yourself each time you achieve a goal. For example, clean the bathroom then reward youself with 20 minutes of corpse pictures.
See, its just like Mary Poppins once sang, "A spoonful of embalming fluid makes the medicine go down".
Muah ha ha

FRIEND: Do you have any tattoos?
ME: No.
FRIEND: Come to think of it, that's a silly question. You don't like to have even a single freckle!
ME: I suppose I could just tattoo myself white and not have to worry about it anymore.
Yep, so on my trip (or maybe just a bit before the trip) I seem to have ended up too long...

Isn't it a bit extreme to apply acids to your skin? Wont the effects of sun exposure fade with time?

Looks like you had a fun time!
Things I did on my recent vacation:
Went to an East Indian wedding
Saw the Star Wars Christmas Special
Took (and did not win) the ghost-pepper chicken wings challenge at Bulldog's in Wauconda IL

Saw mummies at the Field Museum
Bought a fine leatherbound edition of Vesalius
Saw "Vesalius Live"...

Were you as disappointed with the Christmas Special and Absinth as I was?
aristophanes:
Absthine was a disappointment; the Christmas Special I enjoyed, but then I kind of knew what to expect of it.
Been a rather bad couple months for business, which is sort of unfortunate given I spent a bunch of money to try to increase sales. All it increased was the amount of stupid I get to deal with. (Though that too has cut back after I just put in giant letters on the Contact page that I don't work for free.)

Like the new paining very much.

Oh those little ground chucks. They are so industrious at tearing things up.
Thanks for shaing pictures!

I found a strange old book of death-poetry called Flowers of the Cave. If I thought poetry books had any potential for sale I could reprint it as Flowers of the Grave with some kind of morbid cover.

Are you going to show the world your shoes? I'm more than a little curious.
And I'd buy that book. Sure, it'd be to give to a girl as a gift (chicks dig poetry, right?) but still.

I read through the book. I enjoyed it very much.
Made a pair of shoes using the method in the Mary Whales Loomis book. They are glued instead of nailed, so they have a few problems with heel-floppiness on uneven surfaces (which is like everything in New Mexico.) Held up through a relatively long walk, though.

Cool finds.
I would love to see your shoes, you should post photos!

Heh. The prairie dogs probably turn coffin space into their living rooms!
Shoemaker's cement has arrived in the mail. Operation Shoemaking* is now fully underway.
*'Cause I'm sick of spending money on shoes that don't fit or fall apart at once.

Good luck with that.
