Tumbleweeds Continuing

The story on the tumbleweeds is getting old, but the construction site across the street has done nothing to stop them. So every time the wind blows from the south, our neighborhood becomes overpopulated with tumbleweeds. Here are a few pictures from an event a few weeks ago. Since then, it has become a daily chore picking up weeds. About a week ago, a neighbor and myself picked up four pickup truck loads out of our yards.








I also have a new edition to my house. At the beginning of April, I ordered a new desk chair under the pretence of 5-7 business day delivery. Three weeks later, the chair has arrived and boy is it worth the wait...

Tumbleweed Xing





Here is the fence along the south side of the road clogged with tumbleweeds.

The winds of spring continue to blow tumbleweeds from the contruction site across the street into my neighborhood. As you can see from the pictures, these things are quite large and can be quite the driving hazard.
Speaking of construction, I am currently awaiting the arrival of a new front door at my place. As soon as I get the door in, I will be sure to post a photo or two.
As for work, my new idea to make BUFKIT data more accessable via the web was accepted, and has now been passed up the chain to the Regional Director's desk! We will see where it goes from here...
Have not been ballooning lately because of all the winds, but have been running quite a bit and am going to be running in a 5K road race in a few short weeks. Hopefully the weather will be nice.
