A fraternity asked permission to harvest our bamboo. How in the world did that happen!?
Carrie was surprised, but said, "Sure!"
I came home to them hacking away. They had a Uhaul they were filling with bamboo for some sort of party. They mainly cleared out areas in the vacant lots and not near the house, but I'm not going to complain about free labor!
Random observation:
For college kids, they didn't know much about helping guide a truck. Carrie helped them the first time they backed in. The second time she sent me out to supervise.
"Turn the wheels to the left. Okay, back up. Turn the wheels to the right. Okay..." the kid said.
I pointed out that if he moved to the driver's side his friend could see him in the mirror so he could give hand signals. Plus, he'd hear him way better.
I guess guiding a truck in backing up isn't natural. It's one of those skills that's easy to pick up, but you have to actually do it once or twice.
