Grassroots organizing

Hi everyone. Brandon here. You might remember me from such classic pictures on this blog as this shot of me sailing Lyra or maybe you just remember me as the clown sucking wind in the island road race last year.

Anyway, Sharon and I live in Somerville, MA. Sharon's working late the next couple of nights, I work from our non-air-conditioned home, and it's supposed to be 98 in Somerville tomorrow, so I thought it would be better not to be there. Got up at 7, made it to Portland by 9:30, hopped on the 10 AM ferry and walked 27 minutes from Chandler's Cove to this fine location.

Now, on to the grassroots organizing. Adam pointed out to me that the grass was suffering from patchiness. I happened to have half a bag of Pearl's special grass seed in the basement (plant zealots like Sharon know about grass seed (well, OK, it came from the grocery store, but it really is some new hybrid that can supposedly tolerate drought)). I brought it along on the trip, and it's now distributed in various bare spots.

Using the science of the internet, I have created a diagram that shows where the grass seed is.

You might notice that I have missed all but a 4 foot wide swath of the major bare patch. This is not because I am an idiot, but because (1) the hose wouldn't reach/spray any farther and (2) even if it would, I ran out of seed.

This seed should germinate around June 14 or 15th, which is when I believe Luke and Holly will be here. If you guys spent 10 minutes every other day watering the seed, it would have a good chance of surviving.

In closing, a moment of reverence for the Sacred Rock.
