Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It runs all the way down, flanking both sides. I pretend it's a moat for protection. So lush in some places it's difficult to not touch with your car as you drive along.

Unfortunately it's just something we have to live with. It has been like this forever, and not only on our street but many adjacent streets. We live in semi-rural Massachusetts. We try to not let it scare us from never going outside. So we walk our streets.... carefully. Hasn't been an issue walking along the streets.... yet.

Can't say the same thing about yard work though... I've gotten bit several times by PI just taking care of the lawn. Yes, I do mow over the PI that's along our lawns edge. I'm OK 99 times out of 100; but occasionally something goes wrong, lol.
