Thou Mangled Motley-Minded Flapdragon

Out of my sight! Thou dost infect my eyes.
Tonight, while passing time, I found this website of Shakespearean insults. (Thank you A.Word.A.Day).
Go to the site below, read the insult, click “Insult Me Again,” and you
keep getting a new insult. Priceless. (Maybe I’m just easily
entertained. I hope you are too.)
Gate guarding update:
Tonight I am busy on the gate. Flow-back tankers are lined up down the
road. It takes approximately 30-45 minutes for each tanker, plus other
trucks with trailers are coming in to take out equipment.
Being
a night owl my whole life, taking the 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. shift is a piece
of cake. Work comes first. Blogging gets done, games on Facebook get
played AND I work. Can’t beat that.
Today’s wildlife scenario: Two roadrunners
(I’d venture to guess a pair), are out collecting bugs, going back and
forth outside our rear picture window. A pair of mockingbirds are
dive-bombing and attacking the roadrunners. It is very apparent that the
mockingbirds feel their nest is in danger from the roadrunners. The roadrunner was on the move. I tried to get a good picture. Here’s my best effort.

We keep hearing
stories from the truck drivers that they have been running over
rattlesnakes in the road. One driver told me he has run over 10
rattlesnakes. Maybe that’s why we haven’t seen one yet. (Or maybe it’s
the constant replenishment of mothballs under all our vehicles.)
All for today. Short and sweet. Be sure to comment if you’re so inclined. Bloggers love feedback!
