Midnights






I don't dislike working midnights, but I dislike trying to sleep during the day. It's still early, but I can't sleep with all of the light outside so I started a new assault on the gophers. They are trashing out the SW and SE parts of the pond berm, and so far nothing has even slowed them down. (What is advertised as "Death to gophers" seems to invigorate them.) My sister told me to saturate cotton balls with pure peppermint oil and put them in the holes. Okay, but if that doesn't work it's hand to hand combat.

Almost 80 degrees and no wind. This is just like the Bill Murray groundhog day movie except no snow.
