Crispy, Soggy, and Acorns
Our host has been slacking. She went to the Farmer's Market yesterday, but neglected to bring us! However, she did rescue a whole mess of green beans, five battle scarred tomatoes, and a lovely banana pepper.
Today was a beautiful fall day, so Sargeant Soggy and I went canvassing to collect acorns to help reforest areas devastated by Katrina.
The squirrels were quite dense. They thought *we* should give *them* nuts. Then they didn't understand why we should be allowed to dig into their stores. It was only through Soggy's fast talking that we got any acorns as well.
Soggy invented a tale of hungry squirrels in New Orleans. We weren't sure of the VLA's stand on squirrels eating oak embrios, but we were desperate.
We finally came away with 64 acorns that, after preliminary testing (a cursory visual inspection) appear to be viable. Our host informed us that 64 is two raised to the power of six. She's fond of that sort of thing. We just smiled, nodded, and slowly backed away.
We've started looking at FEMA's list of charities, but so far we haven't found any accepting acorns. If you find any, could you please let us know?
Over and out, Captain Crispy.

That's a good question. I will have to ask the Veggie Dudes what their stance is on oak embryos...too funny!
