I’m certain the camp printer has developed Munchausen syndrome.  It doesn’t receive much use in the off season and while copying banquet registration forms, as soon as I left, the toner cartridge was empty.  The next two times I left the room a spontaneous paper jam occured that on further investigation had no jammed paper and as the final display of personal inadequacy the printer “forgot” its IP address (despite having a static one).  I look forward to future devices like flash drives with separation anxiety and laser mice with penis envy towards joysticks.

I was cleaning out one of my shelves when I stumbled upon two open Lexan bottles: one from OSR and one a legitimate Nalgene.  On closer inspection, I found that a mouse had apparently taken to using one as a bathroom and I frowned, until I realized it was the OSR one.  At least the mouse had good taste.

Bill Mischke is the current director of Ockanickon Scout Reservation and is both my boss and eye-blindingly bald.  During OSHA inspections we’ve been knocked for not providing office staff with eye protection.  Anyway, this baldness set in early such that in the 1975 staff picture Bill is seen with quite an afro.  But sadly, the afro received another offer and left staff and Bill’s head by 1976.

I received a quotation for antlatlry department at camp and was surprised when the total cost would be under $1000 including targets.  This of course, does not include labor but hey, that’s what CITs are for.  Now, I’m trying to find appropriate targets and am wondering if instead of using many targets like say a foam deer, I can save money and just buy one foam mastadon.  I know Scouting doesn’t permit shooting at animal likenesses but in this case at least the kids won’t have a gut reflex to shoot at the damn thing since it’s been extinction for 10,000 years.
