We have devastating news about our vegetable liberation attempts! Every weekend we venture out to liberate more, but they seem to be disappearing from the crisper recovery unit. We would ask the Canadian Lieutenant Bacon, but he has also gone AWOL under mysterious circumstances.
To comfort us, our host has been cooking us delicious dishes, such as this item she calls "pizza":
We were also unable to locate a detox facility for the olives. We tried contacting the only one in the area, but the receptionist informed us that they do not treat "black olives". We were so incensed that we did not inform her that they were actually kalamata olives. We did not want them being treated at this discriminatory facility, and left.
We may not need to find a facility... their numbers have been diminishing too.
The sleeping accommodations here are quite nice:
The sleeping bags seem to be have made for extra tall VLA members, and have a bizarre pocket half way down, but other than that are quite comfortable. There are a vast number of sleeping bags to choose from, each suited for different weather and camouflage situations. We are currently utilizing the cotton blend sleeping bags, but we are looking forward to winter when we can comfortably use the merino sleeping bags. In the above photo, we're testing out a wool blend pair.
On the Saturday of the labour day long weekend we attempted to go to the farmer's market to liberate vegetables there. We were very environmentally friendly... we travelled by public troop transport, and then by foot. (Well, our host travelled by foot. We travelled by backpack, which was considerably more comfortable.) However, we were too late. It turns out the farmer's market only runs until 12, not 1:00. We have not had a chance to retry this mission, but are planning to as soon as possible.
Soggy and I would like to say we are devastated by the news of the disaster caused by hurricane Katrina. Those poor trees! And all the other vegetation! This mass slaughter has shocked us to our meaty cores. Our host is in tough financial times, but we, together with our host's friend, went to an ice cream fundraiser, and did our part by eating an ice cream cone each. (All proceeds went to hurricane Katrina victims.) Here we are with our host's friend:
We were thinking... do you think it would be helpful if we went around to all the squirrels in the fall, to collect donations of acorns for New Orleans? Do you know of a charity we could send them to if we did so?
Over and out, Captain Crispy.
