almost 2 weeks and they're still with us:





so they've only shat on the deck beside the pool, which will wash away easily enough... and the kids love it, so as Bob Marley might say, no harm no fowl (hehe, couldn't resist)... no harm YET anyway... that said, if they start shitting in the water, or keep coming back once the pool is OPEN, then measures will be taken...

in other news, Behold... the Arctopus are supposedly playing a gig in our little town tonight... the promotion has been pretty sketchy to the point that I'll believe it when they show up... but that said, the guys who run the venue are out of town on tour with their own band, so cutting them some slack for that this could actually be on the up and up... I sure fuckin' hope so, anyway. wish me luck. if they do show, they're also supposed to play another town 20 min from here on Sat., so I'll probably get to see them twice
