Weed Eater

Monday, I took a moment to walk around a little lake by my house and just enjoy the small things. While I was taking a picture of an ant on a tree, this guy came up to me and asked, "You like taking pictures of trees?"

Uh, sure. I guess. My new friend told me that he was researching edible weeds, because he was convinced that all hell is going to break loose this fall. Something "big" will happen late this August and another thing will happen in late October. Jerusalem will attack Iran or something to that effect. The Dollar with be worthless. Food will be gone in a matter of hours. Millions of people will die of starvation in the cities. Also, Dinosaurs are a myth. The pyramids have hieroglyphs of space ships and airplanes. The City of Atlantis is real and still exists as a functioning society.

It.Was.A.Trip.

Two-way dialog was tricky to achieve at times, because he wanted to explain every weed in detail, medicinal and nutritional properties. Poke weed, Stinging Nettles, Jerusalem artichoke, Plantain, Dandelion, and more. He made me take pics of them so that I would remember to look them up on the Internet. To my shame, I haven't looked them up. I probably walked with this guy for an hour, listening to his theories, asking questions about faith and life when I had opportunity. I felt bad for him, but I'll withhold most of my pity until we're through the fall season. Just in case he's right.

Life is so much more interesting outside of Cerner ... :)

Time to stockpile water, ammo, and fishhooks.
