No washouts expected here
I took the photo near the end of today’s bike ride after dodging rain showers all afternoon. If I had waited around, I might have seen the culvert in action as heavier rain moved in later and doused the area.
A "grand" opening?

Only a month and a half until the big race
The Great Kitsap Duck Race is scheduled for Sunday, July 31, 2011, the final event in the Whaling Days Festival. Sponsored by the Silverdale Rotary Club and about 30 other businesses and organizations, the race raises money for civic groups in the community. “Duck Season” kicked off on June 2nd this year to allow plenty of time for the thousands of available duck tickets to be sold. I have never seen the race live, but I always get a “quack pack”—a flock of five ducks—to represent me in the race. Maybe this will be the year one of my ducks splashes into the money.

I wasn’t sure what to title this post. Although I favor clarity, I didn’t want to use the expletive sh-t in the title. Manure works when it follows steer, horse, cow, and even chicken, but doesn’t sound right when pheasant is the modifier. Other possibilities for the second word are excrement, dung, compost, and fertilizer. Fertilizer seems like the best choice even if it implies a product that might be commercially available. Maybe it should be.

For a plant with no friends, it’s probably not the best strategy to be so easy to spot. Not that the aggressive shrub is worried—once the roots are established it can be as tough to eradicate as kudzu. I’m just glad I’m not prone to pollen-borne allergies.
