Pyro technique

Brothers, Sisters, friends, neighbors, passerbys, and assorted sea-monkeys, yet another fourth of July has come and gone. I have, yet again, have been unsuccessful at igniting the entire state of Kansas on fire. I did have more resources this year as I have found a couple of new things called 500 gram cakes and something called cannon fuse that you use to light off multiple things at once.

A good time was had by all, except for the dogs who didn't appreciate it as much as they could of.

So anywho Kansas is still here - mostly because it got kinda dewy in the evening.
There's always next year.

So besides that, lets see...

That last one has been a tough one.


Let's see... what else?

I did see a turtle crossing the road yesterday while driving home from work but I was still in crawford county, south of here a bit. I guess it's not such a big deal there because there was no one was watching it.

Although last summer I stopped at a gas station in the country there and there was a group of people gathered around a good sized snapping turtle. Some guy caught it, stuck it in the bed of his pickup, and promptly called his wife to tell her not to worry about supper.
