Happenings and Goings On

There has been much ablaze about at the BkE these past months and I feel that all friends of the BkE that cannot visit regularly should be in the know concerning the life and times of the current heroes here. Or, more specifically, what they have been doing to the residence.

As Harrison wrote some time ago, we have a garden. What wasn't reported was the result of that decision to have a garden. Housemaster Bus came up to Logan a few times to orchestrate and help the tearing down of a fence and tearing out of grass followed by a rototilling of dirt and building up of a new fence. The new fence is smart looking, and not rotting away as the old one. The newly uncovered earth has proved to be a great garden. So far, our garden holds radishes (harvested already), zucchinis, bell peppers, squash, watermelon, pumpkin, tomatoes, beans, corn and potatoes.

In the interior, the BkE wall of fame is coming along rather nicely, only lacking a few several pictures. In the exquisite BkE theater, another couch tier has been added, increasing comfort and visibility (although that claim has been contested). Sanora Adele, our media center computer, is also trying the Windows 7 beta on for size and so far, likes it muchly as it allows much improved use of the DVR capabilities which haven't been used for months. Old Molly, Sanora's predecessor, was dragged out of storage for potential use as a BkE Internet server. Her progress has been slow as of yet.

Last in the news, we have been sorrowful to lose so many heroes from the BkE. But where there is loss, there is room for growth and we are now accepting applications to join our ranks.

And now, one more item of business. Butterknife Estates is in need of a logo and we need your help in making one. Whether you know a graphic designer, are one, or fancy yourself as proficient in the field at the very least, then we submit this petition to you: help us create a sign for ourselves! Who knows, maybe we could put BkE on the maps with this endeavor. Send your logo design to mrmcplad@gmail.com.
