Finally the courage was found to eat a ghost pepper. I did not eat the whole thing of course. A friend sliced the pepper into almost miniscule pieces. One little piece on the end of the tongue was all that for which courage could be found. A little tingle…A rush of heat…Tongue on fire…Even my face was burning. After that things settled down a little. Believe it or not, the aftertaste was great. I had to do it again. The next taste was even hotter. The rush was phenomenal.
Aside from the act of great personal courage, there was some serious progress in other areas over the weekend. A little more mulch was put into the garden pathways and the leaves were gathered in most of the front yard. They were piled around some of the trees. There has been no comment from my wife yet. Two of her projects were accomplished so she may let me get away with putting the leaves around the trees.
There is enough compost now to fill the little rock wall that will be built around the mailbox. Now that school is in kids will probably get drunk and take their frustrations out on mailboxes. They may get a surprise.
