Pokes and Programs
During the fall months, we're tormented with the fruit of a hedge tree. You may recall previous posts talking about the peculiar, soft-ball sized fruit that weighs as much as small bowling ball. Known 'round these parts as hedge apples, Osage oranges or even monkey-brains, these nemesis wreck havoc on a lawnmower. We found out today that their thorns aren't much fun to work with either. We cleared, cut, pruned, whacked, and cut back several of them from the west side of the yard. What was left was a beautiful collection of trees and some hands and arms that look like we stumbled upon a litter of kittens.
When he's not grounded from the computer, Tyson's been teaching himself the language of Microsoft Visual Basic. He even checked out a few books from the Tongie Library (yes, books! ...bound books with paper and no circuitry!) on the subject. He will happily distribute his first program to anyone who's interested.

I'd like to try his first software distibution! I'd also like to see a photo of the particular fruit. . .
