Very busy these last couple of days. Have been spending a great deal of time outside, mostly cutting down trees, de-limbing them and then cutting them up into  pieces I can pick up and move. Along the way, load after load of lopped off limbs have to be hauled out to the woods and stacked into semi neat brush piles for the critters to live in. Must be working as I scared a rabbit out of one of them yesterday afternoon.
    Heading down to Charleston, SC later this morning for a weekend contra dance. It is the annual 'Palmetto Bug Stomp', one of my favorites. For those not in the know, a Palmetto Bug is nothing more than a very large cockroach, but they're southern down here, and therefor much more polite. Will be off line for a couple days in any case, but will try to catch up with everything come Monday. Now it's time to hit the road.
