I'm an okay steward of the land, I give portions of it as habitat for the critters and let them duke it out. I crammed a baby Garter snake into a Chipotle cup a decade ago and took it home to live in our yard free of mowers and pesticides... last spring I watched one of it's offspring fall off the rock it was sun bathing on! He hits the ground waking up ready for a fight realizing that he's stupid and fell asleep in a precarious position. I've always found more beauty, entertainment and reward from my yard than most people ever receive from society.

The birds are jerks, the snake is retarded, the dog is lazy but I prefer their company over most people. Let's plant another tree or shrub for these assholes, I'm gonna have to figure out if they're Banditos, Hells Angels or what... I'm not sure what my bird's club approves of for foliage but I really don't want a hundred of those angry little fuckers turning on me.
