Happy Friday

Neighbor kids killed my daffodils. I'm pretty sure. Also their parents appear to have run over what was left with their car. This means I must kill the entire family and possibly eat their flesh. Or just move, and start planting daffodils and crocuses and lavender and other honey-bee-attracting plants where demon monkey spawn won't kill them.

But speaking of honey bees, have y'all heard about the honey bees and how they're dying out and everyone is real worried? Because yeah. The honey bees are dying out and everyone is real worried. Turns out one-third of our food supply is dependent on honey bee pollination, so it's kind of a problem if there are no more bees.

Haagen-Dazs has created a website all about what we can do to help the honey bees. We can learn more about them, we can not kill them, we can buy more honey and support our local honey sellers, and we can plant flowers that honey bees like, such as lavender, strawberries, jasmine, rosemary, bluebells, and sunflowers.

Also, did you know that yellow jackets aren't bees? They're wasps. The honey bees mind their business in the flowers, all gentle and fuzzy. The yellow jackets go after your soda at picnics and buzz all around the trash cans at Disneyworld, which I feel is one more reason to hate Disneyworld (after the humidity and the heat and the part where you kind of wish that maybe one of the rides would break and injure you because the ambulance and hospital are probably air-conditioned).

So anyway. Save the honey bees!

Next week: The reveal of the bookshelf redesign. Prepare to receive the dews of heaven.
