Do you like brutality and revenge? Well, I have a movie for you.
We finally got around to watching this movie last night. We intended on seeing it in the theater, but that did not work out for whatever reason. It was quite good, but hard to watch at times. And that bear scene did not increase my liking of animals in the wild.
My rating: 4/5
We really enjoyed the Flood City Music Festival this year. We went down there three of the four days. While the artists are typically not familiar to us, we always check out their videos and then go see the bands that most appeal to us. This tactic has worked out great. My top three acts this year were: Grace Potter, Samantha Fish and Tab Benoit.
I’ve been wanting to get chickens for quite some time, but the zoning in Upper Yoder does not allow for it. Given the popularity of chicken-raising, someone else has taken the lead and was called before the zoning board for having chickens. The board is going to make a decision in 45 days. I will be surprised if it goes in favor of the chickens, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Summer is coming to an end, so Jake started looking for another job for when his summer job ends. Em’s Subs called him last week and he had an interview with them this morning and was offered the job! He starts on the 15th of this month.
To top that off, he went to work at Westwood Garden Haven this afternoon and they extended him an offer to stay on after the end of summer. So, I guess he’s going to be busy from now on. This job will pretty much be limited to Saturdays during the school year. I don’t know what kind of hours he can expect, but it can’t be too many.
Coordinating his work schedules with his two employers may prove to be a challenge, but hopefully everything will work out because with these two jobs, he’s pretty much set on employment through college.
This summer has been so dry, I was glad to see the rain today. The pond, which has been really low, is back up to capacity. Not only that, but I get a break from watering plants for at least a few days. On the other hand, everything outside is wet so that makes it difficult to do anything out there (I hate weeding when everything’s wet), so I guess I’m going to have to find something to do in the house this evening. That should not be hard to do.
