Getting rid of geese on the golf course

Friday, May 16th, 2008

The “Geese Guy” is hired by course management to try to keep geese off the course. He has a golf cart, border collie and a small canoe. The two of them chase geese on water or land.

The family regathers. The baby geese dive and scatter when the dog comes near. The Geese Guy doesn’t let the dog get too close or chase the young ones too long.

Birds attack each others nests and eggs. There had been three eggs in this one and only a broken empty one is left. This is right outside our back door.

Perinton Recreation Center

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

This is the pride of Perinton. Years ago the Town Board’s proposal for a Recreation Center was defeated. So they quietly saved money and when they had enough they just went ahead and built it. Then they added the pools. The Center has a Gym with walking track above; a weight room; an arobic exercise area and numerous activity rooms. Just a real nice thing for the community.

Back to the present

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

Before I get into the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the trip back to Rochester I will catch up on things around the homestead.

Garbage is a necessity of life. Fortunately, seniors can use the dump for a $1 a bag (anything you can lift). Below is a picture of a bag in our truck and then the dump is the big hill in the second picture. I love a good deal.
