BEWARE OF NATURE

BEWARE OF NATURE

I was sitting on the back deck yesterday when a passer-by became entangled in a rose bush that was climbing innocently on a fence.. He cursed, and as he did so he saw me looking at him whereby he called out "Can't you keep this @#$$*&! bush trimmed?"

I called back an apology since I had just moved my BEWARE OF NATURE sign to the front yard, where the goes poop. Asshat...

Yes. That is the offending bush in the picture.

Although it is a bigger file on my main page. Hmm. Screwy website!

Master! The screwy website has eaten your picture...

Is this just another trick by keithcancook
to get his text on television?

I don't see a picture of a rose bush, much less an offending one!! Probably because I'm only standard.

Nope. I don't think it's due to standard. I can see it just fine right now as keithcancook.

However, koocnachtiek (like you and everyone else) cannot see the pic.

Yet.

I am hopeful that it will appear soon enough on its own. If not, I will resubmit it as an edit. The point of the pic is to show that it is easy to avoid the bush if you watch where you are walking.

It's nice to see you again here in The Venting Blog, amoldenough!

Tell him to quit drinking and maybe he wouldn't stagger into the thing. It's not like the bush moved...or did it? Are you harboring some criminal vine that reaches out and grabs the innocent when they least expect it? If you're cultivating I'd like a human sized Venus Flytrap next please. Hey, it could be useful for that dog poop problem you have too!

Okay, I will try that on my next post.

Yes, it happened as I described. You noted that all I offered the offender was an apology, I hope. keithcancook is generally not rude to passers-by. I usually wait until they are out of earshot!

Also, many thanks to you for hosting my poem! I hope all my readers will check it out:

Thanks, Chelsea. I was not familiar with that command. I had thought it only available to silver & golders. I hope all is well with you, gf.

I dunno for sure, ll. What I do know is that dang thing takes pretty good care of its own self without much interference from me.

I've walked by it plenty of times without mishap. Other times, well, it got me too! But it is only when cutting the grass that I ever get stuck on it.

Naw. This bush is not malevolent.

As for advising the passer-by, well, I am happy to watch folks who can't walk in nature without calamity. It's really rather amusing.

I see the offending piece of nature now. I'm sure if he had been watching where he was going, he could have easily avoided it.

Yes. And you are exactly correct, amoldenough. The passage past the plant is as wide as a two lane flattop.

Thank you Keith. MWAH! It's good to be back. Especially since I found my sense of humor again. This place really requires the ability to laugh sometimes. *smirk*

A sense of humor is a terrible thing to waste, Tn.

How right you are, redluv. This bush is so friendly, it'll reach right out to touch somebody.

LOL, I sure wish I lived in your neighborhood, SkyLily. It seems a rather, um, revealing place. Mmmm, yummy!

Aw, it wasn't a big deal for either of us. He was walking his dog around the lake on common ground. Still, there's plenty of room to avoid the bush.
