You asked for it, so here it is….

This is my new ride – a nice sparkly new Honda Insight EX (2010 model) hybrid. I thought I’d do my bit to help save the planet a little while commuting. :)

I typically upload in small sets – don’t just look at the latest one in my photostream as you might be missing something you’ll like more…. and your comments are ALWAYS welcome :)

compost question by scribble-dad: How lengthy does compost in flower beds attract flies and smell bad?
We had compost put down on our flower beds. Now we have a lot of annoying flies, and the smell’s not so wonderful. When do they go away?
Suggestions on how to make the flies go away or estimates on when they’ll at some point go away (if left alone) would be a lot appreciated. The smell by the way is not so bad (more earthy than rotten) the flies are much more annoying.
