A Being of Light appeared to me while I was strolling in Martian's garden the other night. Angel (he had wings), demon (looked like he had horns, too), or Butterfly-man (not much of a superhero--can't punch his way out of a paper bag--but he has a colorful outfit), could have been anybody.

He said he had a message for the Martian. From Beyond.

"Beyond what," I asked, suspicious. There've been some dubious characters in that garden, and I didn't just fall off the turnip truck. Whipping out my cell phone, I got a snapshot so I'd have something to show the police. I took off the hood of my HazMat suit and demanded to see some I.D.

He laughed. "Just tell Martian that last batch of plutonium we sent isn't stable, and we need it back...There's been one accident already."

Oh great. Bad plutonium. That's terrific. "Yeah, okay, I'll tell him. But who are you?"

The B.O.L. just smiled. "He'll know." So saying, he vanished.

Never a dull moment in Martian's garden!

it could happen, but don't hold your breath, lol. It would require mental stability on my part, and I think we all know that's unlikely. ; )

Thanks for dropping by, always appreciated!

Crazy tales from the unknown!! Martian better do what he was told before something else goes wrong!!!

Interesting creation Randy and your story telling is one for the books....... you should write a series!!!!
:thumbup:


Thanks, Angela. It's an interesting garden, I must say. Angels, demons, singing azaleas, all manner of strange plants and creatures to be found there. And now the added attraction of potential nuclear disaster. How much of this heart-pounding excitement can we all stand!?

LOL

Glad you stopped by, and thanks for your kind words. Always appreciated!

Appropriate image to celebrate the upcoming 4th of July, Randy. Perhaps, beneath it all, Martian is just a patriotic cat at heart. Either that or he got his paws on some of that medical marajuana. :D


Thanks, John. Colorful, indeed. And Martian is definitely a patriot (except for his occasional bouts of megalomania). The essence of an American--a free spirit, unbounded by rules and regulations, going his own way with confidence in himself and the future, always the optimist.

As for the medical marijuana, I do have to admit I haven't seen every plant in his garden, lol. He could have ANYTHING growing in there... ; )

Thanks for your visit, always very much appreciated!

Neat!!! Cool!!! Far out!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: .... (yes, I'm old enough to remember those words.... :? )

Tippit just got a text from Martian and went into the shed to check her inventory. She keeps meticulous records of her stock and she calculated a bit of a shortage in the amount. It might be some nocturnal pests pilfering her supply, or she's just miscalculated. I hope it's the latter!!!

If our town starts glowing at night I might get a visit from CSIS.... :cry:

Thanks, Ron. Sadly, I'm old enough, too, lol.

I hope Tippit can find a math error in her records. Wouldn't be good at all to have radioactive squirrels and chipmunks firing off nukes at each other.

That would definitely bring CSIS down on you and asking all sorts of inconvenient questions. Altho I'm sure the Ministry of Mayhem's many friends there would have any serious investigation quashed before it ever got off the ground.

Still, there are always those nuisance investigative journalists creeping around...and you wouldn't want Tippit having to explain herself in front of the cameras on '60 Minutes.' Whomever's being investigated never comes off looking good, innocent or not.

Thanks for your visit and those kind ancient words of approval, lol. Always much appreciated. Sockitome!

There actually was a dull moment once, but then there were screams and one of the plants exploded, so that ended that, lol. But no, always something of interest going on, all manner of strange plants and creatures running around.

It's the sun and fun capital of SE Mass! : )

Thanks for your visit, Karin. Always much appreciated!

Thanks, Frodo. As long as you have your HazMat suit on and you check your radiation badge frequently, you're in no real danger here.

The radiation keeps most of the bugs away, altho the glow at night brings in tons of moths, a real nuisance, as they like to flutter about the faceplates of the HazMat suits.

But the garden is quite real, altho somewhat smaller than it was last year. We're still clearing away some of the damage from the flame-throwers following the battle there last spring. Those pesky demons took some getting rid of, I'm here to tell you. And the loss of my cherished Flaming Ember Azaleas still breaks my heart. Martian's Singing Azaleas, on the other hand, just as well they're gone--those things were dangerous!

Hopefully in a year or two, Martian'll have that garden back in shape and where it belongs again. And this time, he's promised me he's learned his lesson--there will be no more demon-infested plants. We'll see.

Thanks for visiting and your kind comments, always appreciated!

Kind of makes you wonder just who he is and where's he's from, doesn't it? Doesn't look Kryptonian with those wings, but he never flashed an I.D. at me, so I don't really know for sure. And he didn't look like a member of the Justice League to me!

Martian did promise there would be no more demons in his garden after the debacle there last year, but one has to be suspicious. After all, this is Martian we're talking about...

Thanks for stopping by, Bob, and the astute comment. Always much appreciated!

That "Being of Light" that you saw was actually a Defense Dept. secret agent. They were so successful in not only sending live anthrax around the world, but also in getting many of us to believe that it was all just an honest(?) mistake that their super hero superiors had decided that it was high time to go to the next level. And not to be outdone by Disney or the IRS, the only logical conclusion was to graduate to highly unstable plutonium. But have no fear World; all you have to do is move your family into one of those abandoned ICBM silos and you will be perfectly OK. :lol:

Martian certainly had a bad batch of plutonium to make a flower look like that. It will stand out in his garden and if he has any spare I could use it on my flowers to make them stand out in the village St Day in bloom comp.

Very good Randy....

You could very well be right, Tbell7D. He certainly acted snotty enough to be working for the government. And you noticed there was no apology for the bad plutonium, either, was there? Smacks of secret agency elitism!!! ; )

Thanks for stopping by and your insights on our situation. Always very much appreciated!
