Weed War 2016:
Already into phase 3; digging out the enemy one stubborn
holdout at a time. I was able to wipe out a small formation of the enemy using
the string trimmer, but had to stop due to a lack of ammo. Then came the backup
weapon, the hula hoe. With that, I was able to clear more small groups of the
enemy, taking them en passant, using Halsey’s maxim of Hit Hard, Hit Fast, Hit
Often. Finally, hula hoe amenable targets having diminished, I took to the most
primitive of weapons, the spade. I was able to spade up about ¼ of the hardest
held enemy positions, but two clusters will require actually digging in by hand
with a trowel, as they are too close to the concrete sidewalks. Oh, for a small
supply of Round-Up™.
Final Note:
The enemy has retaliated in force using biological weapons
and mine warfare. (pollens and goats-head thorns) I’m going to be down for
cooldown and then for allergy symptoms for the next 3 or 4 hours. I went out at
10 AM and it’s already in the 90s. Tis what comes of living in Hell Central
Arizona.
