Barkdust Put In Yesterday

We had a fresh layer of barkdust blown in yesterday. We do it every two or three years, and getting it blown in (rather than spreading it yourself) is far and away a better way to go.

I always forget what kind of barkdust we get, or who we use, though, so it's always a pain to get it scheduled for the next time. This time, I'll blog it - so I can find it again later!

We got one unit of medium fresh fir, which is enough to cover all the beds we have. It cost $295 this year, up from $215 three years ago. (Price of gas, I guess.)

We used Grimm's Advanced Bark Blowing. We've had ProGrass do it before, too, but they're slightly more expensive. Grimm's does a really good job at a decent price. Done and done.

Jack Cafferty Commentary on Sarah Palin

I don't generally get into politics, and I can't remember really ever posting anything political here, but I have to put this up because it is, by far, my favorite political commentary ever. It's a clip of Jack Cafferty, a political analyst for CNN, talking about Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric.

It's like Saturday Night Live, only real life. I've watched this like 10 times now and I fall down laughing every time. It's all about Cafferty's deadpan delivery. I think I'm gonna go watch this again.
