Rotten nasty crud - Even just a little...

Toxicodendron radicans (syn. Rhus toxicodendron, Rhus radicans); Poison ivy is a plant in the family Anacardiaceae. The name is sometimes spelled "Poison-ivy" in an attempt to indicate that the plant is not a true Ivy (Hedera). It is a woody vine that is well known for its ability to produce urushiol, a skin irritant that causes an itching rash for most people, technically known as urushiol-induced contact dermatitis.

Don't touch, rip out with your hands and then scratch your "howdoyodo. Don't mess. Spray Roundup or maybe sell your house and move away.

There you go.

Augusta

The Masters happens this week. The venue (Augusta National) is beautiful on television, but in person it is shockingly gorgeous - shocking I say. It has more elevation changes than you can see on TV. The greens appear to be impossible top putt. The grounds are manicured to perfection. That much detailed grooming on a scale that large seems impossible. It must be fake - but no - it's just crazy perfect.
