First day of Autumn/Winter.


What is the difference between Autumn and Winter? Where does one end and the other start?
This picture was taken September 3oth. It's only September, and there is already snow on the mountains. What have I gotten myself into?
I am enjoying the fall colors though. They are quite spectacular. This weekend I am going to hike up rock canyon which means I'll get up close and personal with the changing trees. Exciting.

The Prank: Part 2

We, Kayla and I, decided to end this spectacular prank, one because I was tired of lying and two, we just wanted it to end. So we created these last clues in a matter of days. On Wednesday night we created this note. My appreciation for those kidnappers/bad people that make signs and notes out of cut out newspaper clippings are my hero's. It took like three hours to clip and glue.












We found this little Johnny Depp puzzle that was left over from the previous tenants, so we drew the bulb on the back and wrote a note on the front. That night we gave a couple puzzle pieces and the cut out note. Over the next day and half we left puzzle pieces everywhere. Fully put together, it says
"The time has come for this to end
A pie will be the perfect stipend
And make it apple with a touch of glaze
It is crucial for this trading phase
Ten in the morn is the time to meet
You must wait for the place for us to greet." This is what we did while we waited. Exactly. Absolutely nothing.





And on the back we wrote "Octavus Platea Anas hold the truth". We didn't want it to be too easy so that is why half of the note is in Latin. We made this poster that I am rather proud of. I drew the duck and ducklings. We attached it to a tree at the duck pond and we waited. Well, apparently it was too hard for them, because they didn't show up. However there were two people that stopped and read it. One even came back and reread it. So we wait for an hour, and then head home. Our final thought was to never let them get it again, but I was tired of this prank so we decided to just go over that night and give them the special light and the duck poster.










Well, I still wanted my pie. And I know I had no leverage, but I warned them that something drastic might happen if I didn't get that pie. To impress upon them my meaning, I made a sign a week later and put it on their door. I am rather proud of it; it took an hour to cut out and make.






Finally, two weeks later, at 11:30 on Sunday night they brought over the pie. I was already going to bed, and one of my roommates, Becca, was asleep when they came over. They got Kayla, and then came up to our apartment with this pie. I decided to wake Becca because she wouldn't want to miss the pie eating. I get plates and she is starting to cut it. Before she dishes the pie out she takes a bite. We are all talking, when Becca looks at all the guys waiting for a sign. Matt finally smirks, and she says "This is supposed to taste disgusting right?" All the guys start laughing, and the rest of us catch on that the pie was sabotaged. Becca runs to the sink and washes out her mouth and I am crying because I'm laughing so hard. I should have known that it was rotten. I saw it when she cut into it, and it didn't look right for some reason, but know I know why. Dave -The Legend(ary cook) switched the sugar with salt. So Becca took the hit for Kayla and I and ate a bite of Salt pie.

This concludes the Blue Light Scandal, but it does not end the pranks. We will enact our revenge this weekend.
