I'm not working Wednesdays, but I'll still have to come here for a class at 10AM. Eight hours lost off my paycheck there.

Harvesting his stuff might be a little too aggressive. Talking to him is very unlikely to work. Active physical destruction (i.e. mowing) is also too aggressive.

So weed killer in the night should do wonders. Planting a few dozen tiger lilies will be a fun option.

We put a little group of tiger lilies, maybe three plants, at my house. Within the next three years, they filled the entire 4' x 7' space they were started in, plus the overflow was transplanted to start lining the old garden out back, down one side of the retaining wall, to the other side of the secondary driveway, and out to the back fence. They're still growing, without any assistance. Rain and sun are enough.

If we totally stopped doing a damn thing about them, or actively aided them with fertilizer and some water, they could take over the whole place.

They're supposed to reach about 8-12'. Uh, yeah, great theory. The one behind my bedroom window is pushing 16'.

I have a tree I got on Arbor Day in fourth grade. It appears to be a Colorado blue spruce, although I have my doubts. It got planted under the bird feeder, and to great benefit - it stands as high as the chain link fence behind it, 6'.

It may be too late to move it easily, but it should be moved now, before the squirrels can use it to get to the feeder, and before it tangles itself into the fence.

Computers now can do pretty much everything you want as fast as you can instruct them to do so. There's not much left.

Exactly. I upgraded every 3 years or so in order to play the latest games, but even that isn't necessary these days. My 3 year-old PC can play everything right now. Yes, I would see an increase in performance with i7 in BF:BC2, but it isn't worth spending money for that upgrade IMO. Maybe when the next consoles are released, the games trickling down to the PC will need the additional power.

The more Canadian teams the better. That should force the Toronto Maple Leafs to actually care about hockey.

Of course, I guess the Phoenix Coyotes are in trouble too and may be a relocation candidate. They were the original Winnipeg Jets IIRC.
