Seasonal attitude adjustment

 I try very hard to have a sense of humor about tourists and their very bad driving, and this is the time of year I need to gear up and do some deep breathing - ohmmmm.  It's the unnecessary braking around curves and erratic speeds that do me in.  

The county is working on the road closure above us in the narrows.  Supposedly, tomorrow they will be blasting rock.  There has been no estimate of when the road will be open.

I've started feeding the fish, and it's the typical frenzy.  There are at least 20 dead crawdads on MFL and the dam road, so I have texted Barb and Steve that they need to come RIGHT NOW and set traps.  I know it's a dog eat dog world, and the crows need to eat, but I really don't want to see it in my face.  I am so grossed out.

We're now able to see what the road damage is that I mentioned earlier.  There is a big crack in the road, and there is no news as to when they plan to fix it...or how.  For now, it is down to one lane in that area, which should be really fun when the tourists arrive.
