Japanese Beetle Extreme
My battle with the Japanese Beetle continues. Not only are they still chomping on everything in my yard, the smell of dead Japanese Beetles can only be compared to that of a rotting, decaying dead skunk. Not just a live skunk, but yes... a rotting, decaying dead skunk. Do not dump them into your garbage can... you will never get rid of the smell. Do not dump them into the gutter, the neighbors will walk by your house and give you strange looks as they are running away for fresh air.
I am glad that my problem with the damned things are not nearly as bad as this guy has them!!
Habitat for Humanity
Last week I had the opportunity to work on a Habitat for Humanity project with several other Fisher-Pricer's in the north end of Buffalo. This has to be one of the poorest neighborhoods in Buffalo. The experience was incredible and humbling. We worked on siding for most of the day. The house was renovated instead of being built from scratch. The house really will be nice once it is completed sometime in September. I encourage anybody to get involved in a Habitat for Humanity project in your area. It is very rewarding knowing you are helping a family who truly deserves it. To find projects in your local area go to this link and type in your zipcode.
