Day of Caring

Today is the United Way's Day of Caring -- this year I helped with cleaning apartments of low income/disabled seniors.

I enjoy doing this and wish that the big corps (including my own) would do it more than once a year, though we made a big change last year.

Last year at this time they announced that they would also pay through out the year to qualified charities if you did volunteer work for them -- with the understanding that you had to put in a minimum of 20 hours before they would pay.

So, what that meant for various orgs that I belong to/or work with is that if I put in 20+ hours of volunteer work (book keeping, cleaning, phones, whatever) I can fill out a form and my company will cut a check for $17.00 for every hour that I put in as a volunteer. Pretty spiffy all in all.

And how is your day going???

That's just wrong...

I was looking through the town paper that we get weekly and noticed a new column:

Local hunting Report

Okay -- my dad hunted and I ate my fair share of 'non-standard' meats growning up so I read it over.

The author of the piece talks about small game hunting in our area, and the first thing he touches on is cottontail rabbits. We apparently have two species in our area, the eastern cottontain and the nutall cottontail.

Then he goes on to mention (and I quote):

Both species of rabbits are small, but the eastern cottontail is much larger with one rabbit providing a fine meal for one person. It takes two of the tiny nutall cottontails to provide a meal for one. I find that a dry Reisling or a white Zinfandel wine compliments a meal of roasted cottontail.

*I had a wild Sylum moment when I read this.... Riddick comes in to the manor with a pair of tiny bunnies clutched in one hand. Looks around and offers, "Lunch anyone?"
