Yay for dirt! I love dirt. Yesterday I planted some pansies and violas in the little flower bed out back. It made me happy to plant flowers.

So all those folks with too much testosterone need to stop looking for grumpy faces, and start rolling around in dirt. I like it.

Synthesis! You have deduced the cure for what ails us. Hurray! I believe in DIRT. And SUNSHINE. How's it going in Fogville?

Fogville is seriously lacking in dirt, and quite overfull of testosterone. I honestly don't remember the last time I had dirt on my hands. waaa.
