Floating Island Commune

I can't decide if there is something wrong with this idea but right now outside all the snow melted and Syracuse looks like it was just ejected from the bowels of a creature with amoebic dysentery and I just got back from a beautiful week in the sunshine state so this is looking pretty good...

Who is with me?

The Turkey Hut

So...the Logans celebrated Thanksgiving in a good old fashioned redneck way! We cooked the turkey in a garbage can. Yes, that is right. Bill, I am sure you are cringing, but it was cool. Dad did most of it, manning the fire and so on. First there was a blue hut built to keep out the wind. Then there was a stake and something to the catch the grease drippings. Then lots of foil and a 15 lb. turkey. Turn the *CLEAN-BRAND-NEW-NEVER-BEEN-USED-BEFORE(other than burning out the galvanized metals)* garbage can over the the turkey and surround the outside of it with 25 lb. charcoal brickettes. Oh yeah, and LOTS O' lighter fluid (which didn't really catch, so some wood too). And then let it cook. The house lacked the Thanksgiving smells, but the turkey hut was warm and smelled of turkey yumminess. The eats were good, but I think it was more of the act of doing it. What a Thanksgiving to remember!! Please watch the teaser video...

What's up with the bees?

So this is a question for Chris and Kelly...

I've been hearing all over the place lately that there is some mysterious affliction affecting beehives. One friend of mine at work told me that she heard that cellphones may be responsible for interrupting the hives? Hope that yours are all OK!!!
