Speaking of the bible...

...anyone else noticed the plague of moths that has descended upon Buffalo?

We've captured like 50 in our house the last couple days (from a window upstairs we left open...and from the bastards climbing through our mail slot). And, they're just everywhere outside. Swarming around trees and light posts. Now I know we have our homegrown plagues...the week of spiders...the five days of mayflies crunching beneath our boots...and that one special day where all the winged ants come out of nowhere. But, I can't seem to recall ever seeing so many moths swarming at one time. Is it a sign that the end of days is near? Yeah most likely. You might want to take an ad out in This totally legit website (modeled after the horrendously popular series of books) allows you to leave messages for those poor souls you knew on earth who weren't quite heavenly enough to follow your ass into eternal grace. So they'll know how to correctly wax that gorgeous '69 El Camino you left in the front yard on cinder blocks. At least you don't have to feel bad for all the crispy charred remnants of moths left underneath your nightlight, after all you're the sad wretch left behind to clean up the mess.

Plant a tree?

So I was thinking of participating in the Re-TreeWNY program.

You have to join as a group and I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in creating an (e:strip) group to plant some trees.

It is a bit of a time commitment, but it there's quite a while until the actual planting to get your schedules organized.

We have to register by August 8. Then the dates are:

October 11 & 18 - Training dates - Locations to be announced
November 7 - Pick-up of trees by organizations
November 8 & 9 - Planting of Trees

So in reality it's only 2 maybe 3 days that you would actually have to show up. The first is a mandatory training session in October to show us how to properly plant the trees, so they can live and flourish and so forth. Then the actual day or two of planting, I guess depending on how ambitious we are. It's your chance to actually have a little bit of choice in the planning and beautification of our city. Each group is assigned a specific parcel, and we actually get to choose which types of trees go where on our parcel, pretty neat, eh?

So comment if you're interested so I can get a feel for how many are interested and hopefully we can do this.
