Tell us how you celebrated Dearth Day

Since we celebrate it early in the Antipodes I’ll go first

Pictured below are the final stages of this year’s sacrifice to Gaia. It was a 30-odd foot tall triangle palm (Dypsis decaryi) and you see it pictured below in the final stages of being sliced into manageable pieces for transport to the green waste depot (for recycling into garden mulch, of course).

30' triangle palm sacrificed to Gaia

Its sin against Gaia was that it obstructed appreciation of Gaia’s glory by the worshipful (or at least a mate who paid good money for the view).

So many friends and neighbors turned up to join in the celebrations and offer ute- and tray top-space to transport the sacrificial carcass it was soon obvious a box of beer and single barbie meat pack were inadequate for the task, necessitating rapid resupply.

Following re-victualing the consensus was that the greatly enhanced view from the back balcony, spanning from the bay to the Glasshouse Mountains, allowed far greater appreciation of Gaia’s magnificence. The sacrifice had been a huge success.

The decision was made that each year we will select trees which inhibit appreciation of Gaia’s beauty and on this day, April 22, will sacrifice them for Gaia.

Happy Dearth Day from the Land Down-Under!

  1. Why celebrate a day that memorializes the mass murderer Rachel Carson?

  2. I made sure not to be in the dark in any room in my house. I hate running into things..

  3. Had to look up the date and then realized I don’t have anything planned. It’s raining in Richmond, so I guess suspending myself over the water and flailing it with colored weights while muttering incantations is out.

  4. I set the oven at 250F, turned on every light in the house, garage and patio. Filled the car with hydrocarbons and took a long drive at high speeds and tried to run every Prius I saw off the road. Great Earth Day!!

  5. For Earth Day, NORAHG created a report about PESTICIDE BANS in Canada.

    Incredibly, LESS THAN 100 prominent culprits conspired to prohibit against the use of pest control products.

    They held the entire Canadian society as PESTICIDE-HOSTAGES.

    For the list of CULPRITS who are destroying the professional lawn care industry, go to the following links …

  6. Bought a new coffee maker and threw the old one in the garbage. Right out in the open! Also tossed out some tin cans and yogurt containers! Bad Cat!
