Donkey Kong County Returns Video

My son is doing some youtube videos. He's focusing on Donkey Kong County Returns. I'm being a good and supportive mom and posting one here. Enjoy!

Wasp Nest

As mentioned earlier on this blog, I grew up in the country. Bugs, mice, and snakes don't bother me at all. I never understood why some girls shrieked in fear when any of these "critters" were around. It seemed like pointless drama to me. So, when a wasp nest started showing up in an outbuilding I left it alone. Stinging insects aren't really a problem, unless you go messing with their hive or aggravate them. Wasps also help get rid of other annoying insects. If you leave them be they will typically do the same for you.
The white parts/larvae look like cotton. You can see the elder wasps taking care of them. They are less active in the morning, but are busy the rest of the day. It's not a good idea to remove it now, that would cause some stinging. I'll leave it alone until the winter, then I'll knock it down and keep an eye on the area next year so they don't rebuild.

Johnny Cash Musical Note on Beale Street

I've always been a fan of Johnny Cash, so it was a goal of mine to find his musical note on Beale Street. The Street itself last no traffic, and we arrived early, so parking wasn't a problem. The family walked up and down both sides on the main area, where the restaurants are, without much luck trying to find his note.

As you can see from the first picture, we found it. It's not along the more touristy areas, it's past the sign welcoming you to Beale Steet. If you're facing the sign, it's on the right side. He's what is across the street.

I was glad to find it, and enjoyed the exercise. I liked visiting Beale Street as well. I enjoy listening to the blues, but don't know much about it. I learned a little bit of history, as there is a lot of information along the steet.
