What I do

2011-11-22T13:22:00.001-08:00

I am an Internationally Certified Arborist. I love trees. I climb 'em, plant 'em, prune 'em, and occasionally take 'em down (but only out of necessity). Sometimes it's hard, most of the time it's fun. I enjoy having the outdoors be my classroom, because I am continually learning and trying to use what little muscles I have (although I did just beat my tough sista in an arm wrestle. It was close...a little too close). Here's a little of what I do in picture form.

This weekend I went home a helped out one of my sisters Honeylocust. Sibling and Gordo all had a try at climbing trees-arborist style.

So you didn't think I had the guts....huh. Well, sure showed you! The colors are changing, the seasons are changing, might as well change a little bit right with it. I left one little rat tail to mix things up. I can braid it, put it in a pony tail, leave it down. Still tons of options. FUN!

TIMP

2011-10-02T16:55:00.000-07:00

I was invited to complete a year goal of hiking Timp with Jo Jo & some of her friends. We took off round 5 a.m. from the trailhead and made our way up the amazing trail. The flowers were blooming, the mtn. goats were present, and the girls had so much fun!!

Still plenty of glacier ice was on the trail. I wish we all had those sweet poles

So glad CAMJAM came along, she may be petite, but man she showed no signs of slowing down on the steep parts

Top of the world lookin down on creation!

OK sliding down the glacier...usually a great fun activity right? Well when there's a tremendous snow year and there are no signs of previous sliders....maybe not such a great idea. I tested it out-couldn't even scream, but made it down zippy fast and stopped in time to yell....it's too dangerous, GO AROUND! Did Jo and Camie heed? No way they want the highroad or no road. Down they came!

We look pretty good escaping death by only having little bruised bums!

3 States 206 Miles 1 Day

We came, we rode, we conquered.

The FINISHERS

Hard time keeping up with Gordon

Those Tough boys did all the hard climbs

Gordo & I were a team and Wil and Gordon were a team meaning we'd see each other at the switch points. This was so so fun and I'd love to do it again....as a 2-man relay! (not sure I've got the guts to do the whole thing)

2011-09-09T17:11:00.001-07:00

Only know one way to post these photos. Just me and my mom are the only ones looking at this anyway right? Three weeks into school and summer seems like eons ago....EONS! We've moved into a new apt. with a bit more responsibilities, and life shows no signs of slowing down. Did you know I married a secret circus performer? Gordo is a master juggler. He juggles making me happy, studying Landscape Architecture, and recently Elders Quorum President. I'm workin hard, watering the lawn, and coming up with things to feed the two of us. I needed to make a list of what we did this summer because it seems like it's slipping from my mind quickly. Best news is summer shall visit us again.

Hubba Hubba here's a recap:

We starting things off with a bang by Gettin Hitched...then off to Sacramento (see post below) Our fridge was covered all summer with other lovey doveys with the same great idea. Weddings galore! After our garden gathering in Orem, we headed out to Antelope Island with the Listons. Great moves and the best dance party occurred and Gabe and Ellens georgous wedding. We toured on the Conference Center Roof top Garden. Gordo celebrated his 24th birthday with buddies coming over to our place and modeling overly large shirts....only large shirts.
We bought a CSA share from the Logan Farmers Market. Our farmer brings us weekly produce clear until December. We headed on down to Moab to visit our dear friends. We ran the raging daily, ate at Milts, visited the garden and farmers market, hiked with the Davis' clan, and camped (or actually slept in the back of Cliff in the World Wide parking lot). We asked ourselves why again didn't we move down here for the summer? Oh yeah because I didn't want to share my hubby with Cataract. We made numerous trips down to Orem for some family fun. We feasted each time on mama's good cookin and had some rallying volleyball matches in the park. We accomplished the first RAW ride. A 72 mile Ride Around the Wellsvilles. This wouldn't be possible without the generosity of a pregnant Abby and her sweet ride.

We invited Jodie and Kodey on a Mayfield adventure that turned out to be them completely taking care of us. Food, shelter, and 4-wheelin fun. Bud and Liesl joined us for a day at Palisade Lake. We failed miserably at taking the Hughes rock climbing in maple Canyon. As soon as they hit the road, we found the easy climbs. Timpanogus, Logan, Salt Lake, and Jordan River temples were added to our visited list. I spent a day at Lagoon with the fam taking the kids on the whirly rides. We tore it up at Newton Dam and Clarkston behind the boat. I signed up for my first ultra race, luckily due to dangerous snow conditions it was shortened greatly. Gordo decided the morning of to run the trail with me. I attended the Wood Family Reunion at Island Park. We enjoyed great meals, turbulent tubing, Old Faithful, and bridge jumping only after the brave Henry jumped first.

The Woods gathered far and near for a family reuinion for Bud and Liesl's beautiful wedding. They'll come crawling to us, the pro's, for married advice. We were blessed that Jason's fam was able to come out and visit for awhile. We climbed up Logan Canyon, read books, went on long bike rides, made meals, and never disagreed once. Ok we resolved confrontation quickly. We ended the summer on a high note. Litereally thousands of feet up. We did the Wellsville traverse and had amazing views on either side of us.
What a grand summer, and I was thinking that I didn't want it to end, but now I can rest assured that we spent our summer wisely playing, laughing, loving. I'm ready for the next slightly chillier chapter to come.

Duh....we are still on our HONEYMOON

2011-09-09T15:14:00.000-07:00

Here I go again tryin to figure out these collages. I just get so bad at updating this thing and I have fun photos that describe our adventures better then I could with words. They literally paint a picture in your mind. We went to Sacramento for our first vacation as the Mr. and Mrs. Gordo Wood Family. Over a ten hour drive flew by with Gordo at the wheel. We had delicious treats and when we weren't chatting, we listened to Arctic Drift. When we hit the summit at Lake Tahoe...SNOW! AHHH we were coming to California for warmer weather I thought. We were stopped for quite awhile because all cars required chains or 4 wheel drive. Luckily we had the big white truck.
On to Sacramento....and there we fell in love with the Mariott, Capitol Park, Towering Trees, and interesting people. Sacramento was a blast....many people questioned, "Why Sacramento?" We thought Sacramento was such a neat place and enjoyed ourselves completely. We scraped on our bikes all over the city and were right at the 200ft mark from the finish line at the Tour of California bike race. We visited the zoo, and always found something going on at Capitol Park.
We also got to visit Calaveras Big Trees State Park. Although snowy and completely drenched, you couldn't find two happier tree huggers in the world. We also visited some fun thrift stores and learned about frog jumping races in Calaveras County
Heading to San Fransisco was another day adventure. We rode across the Golden Gate Bridge on our bikes....along with 600 other people (we thought we were so original) We ate great food, felt completely lost in this huge city, and had a theft of my scraper. Not gonna get us down though. With one bike and miles away from our parked truck across the bridge, we settled for a scenic tour on top a convertible bus.
We also ended our trip by helping at the state Tree Climbing Competition. The two of us helped all the little kiddies climb a small tree. Talk about exhausted...yeah-we'll wait awhile.
Sure love this boy and sure am glad to have all the rest of my adventures with you Gordo Wood

Three weeks, three days, and 6 hours late, but here's a pic from our wedding day! It was absolutely perfect! Gordon Brockbank Wood and I were sealed in the Logan Temple on May 14th 2011! We were surprised and surrounded by family, loved ones, and friends. We had a brunch at Hamilton's, married at 2:15 and had a reception at Edgewood from 5:00-7:00. Everything was beautiful and we worked quickly and diligently to pull this off in 7 weeks! Two weeks later we had a garden gathering in my parents backyard and amid rain, bad weather, and all, people stayed visited and ate great food! Not even a little rain could bring us down! I am so grateful for all that helped and so extremely madly in love with that Gordo!

Love Mrs. Woods Wood!

sorry more pictures to follow :)

YOU AND ME

Wake up to a mini-tri

2011-01-27T11:21:00.000-08:00

Woke up Sat. morn,

called Gordo on the phone

Said, "hey I wanna do this tri."

"I'll do it too." was his reply

He got outta bed and forgot to brush his teeth

Better believe I still gave him a kiss, good grief

350 meters in the pool

Back stroakin', gaspin', borrowed googles for the fool

changed into my skirt and headed for a scrape

4 miles I rode, but my tires never left the street

On to the track is where my jello legs went

Pumpin up the jams round 12 times before I was spent

Crossed that finish line and finished 4th of the girls

Gordo followed right behind and thankfully no hurls

Our hearts where happy and our faces white

But for wakin up just that mornin I think we did alright!

Rent the Best

Beaver Creek Lodge, this is Jessie.....

I have the priviledge of working up beautiful Logan Canyon at Beaver Creek Lodge. I rent out 2011 ski.doo's and help peeps that are staying here at the Lodge. A few weeks ago my boss said it was time for me to get a better idea on what I was trying to sell over the phone.

Gordo and I got to be on TV for a total of 30 seconds.(autographs to be signed later), and then we hit the trail for an adventure ride to St. Charles in Idaho. The trails pick up right from the lodge, so that's why this is the ideal spot to put a lodge! We got to wear top notch Klim gear and felt radicle.

Snowmobiling is much tougher then I anticipated. You gotta get your whole body involved! Moving from side to side and careful, don't get scared now...climbin up those hills! I had such a great time laughing as Gordo got stuck in some trees. He really started sweatin digging himself outta that TREE WELL! That's real snowmobiling though-trying hard stuff, getting, stuck, and having a ball!

We stopped at Minetonka cafe and had one of the best Burgers of all time! Relaxed and then jetted on back to the lodge. It seemed easier on the way back. What a pretty way to see the great outdoors. The snow was phenomonal, the machines were stellar, and getting to ride with Gordo was a blast! Sure loved this adventure!

Flabbergasted Guardian Drop-in

2011-01-10T11:45:00.000-08:00

First things first, my parents are the best in the whole wide world. I'm sure there are some pretty good parents out there, but sorry mine take the cake! The double decker dark chocolate with carmel and lots of frosting...oh and sprinkles CAKE! Yesterday they suprised me and drove up to Logan just to visit their silly daughter for less then an hour! They didn't inform me that they would be in the area, so I was at church without my phone when they arrived. Apparently Papa Woods searched the entire city for singles wards trying to find me. Well, they parked outside my apt. and waited in the cold for an hour. I hopped out of my friends car and gotten a sudden whistle from someone on the street. There in front of me was my cute papa in his nice suite with pocketwatch attached. Mama Woods was waiting in the car...ahhh what cuties. We baked cookies, played Blink, and chatted. Then just like the card game...they were gone. I sure appreciate that they would take the time and effort to see me for only a quick bit. I loved every minute and I'm so grateful for me padres!

So I couldn't figure out how to make this collage go larger in that previous blog, but it seems to wanna work if it's all by itself. Funny

Ahoy, we be runnin

2010-09-24T15:40:00.000-07:00

Arrrggg! Me matey Gordo and I decided to walk the plank and run the Top of Utah Marathon. We had a swashbuckling time dressed as pirates! Carrying swords the whole time, we arrgged, told pirate jokes, and ran our booty's off.

I was so proud of my buccaneer! Our bodies were strong and we jaunted across that finish line amid yo-ho's and hooray's. We made great time at a whopping 4:07!

Gordo's wee nephew supported us by playing the role of youngest boy aboard ship. This is the only way to run a marathon! I don't know how normal folk can run 26.2 miles in regular clothes...bah!

MoSu 2010

2010-09-13T13:55:00.000-07:00

In other words...Moab Summer 2010!

I woke up last week and for the first time all summer I was cold. I then realized, wowzers it's September already....AUTUMN! I decided to show a bit about my amazing summer. I was able to do more this summer then any before. I've lived here in Grand County since May 9th in trailer #12. I live with Kerri and we have a ball together!

I have had so many adventures. I'm surprised I still have feet 'cause a large part of my summer was spent on the trail. Moab Rim, Corona Arch, The Portal, MaryJane Canyon, Hidden Valley, running in Negro Bill Canyon to name a few. I explored 2 National Parks-Arches (4 times) and backpacked in Canyonlands.The La Sals are less then a half an hour away, so cool off adventures occurred frequently there. It is a sweet climbing spot with few marked routes-good luck. There are great hikes and fun lakes I visited.

Being the luckiest girl ever I was blessed to go down the river a boatful of times including overnighters in big boats, duckies, kayak, a dory, the Sevylor, Mr. Green Turtle, and an amazing Cataract Canyon trip. Thanks to Gordo and the Hazletts for hooking me up.

I work at the Youth Garden Project and was able this summer to grow plants, weed a bunch, harvest plants I've never heard of, work in the kitchen, and play with the kiddies...ahhh! I became an active member of the community down here thanks to my job-doing Farmer's Market, Weed 'n feeds, Farm Day, and played with the summer campers. The community down here is varied and full of interesting, different peeps.

Cooking Fun-made jam, pesto, granola, scones, peasant bread, lavender bars, eggplant lasagna, and many more goodies

Summer Novels-Eat, Love, Pray. Lord of the Flies. To Kill a Mockingbird. Cats Cradle. Of Mice and Men. (I guess our high school didn't receive the recommended reading list) I just started Born to run-fitting since I'm running the Top of Utah Marathon this weekend

Visitors-Kirsten Lindstrum, Ashley Ruth Linford, Mama & Papa Woods, Buster (2X's), and the Liston's

Many more exciting adventures developed not in Moab this summer. We had a marvelous Woods Family Reunion 2010 including swimming, campin in the backyard, and a day on the lake. Gordo and I reached two high summits-Mt. Timpanogus and Mt. Peale (the second highest peak in Utah). I got up Slalom skiing, went on motoscrapes, and harvested honey from those sweet bees up in Logan.

It was a summer of growing! I grew food, made new friends (our small branch is the BEST! Funny odd balls, but we are all we've got), grew to love that sweet Gordo even more, and learned more about myself and how to be happy. With Gordo gone on long trips, my little heart would hurt sometimes, in return I am a stronger, better, more tan Jessie!

I love living in this beautiful place! I'm surrounded by beauty and adventures everywhere. I'm finding out everyday that I'm blessed to be able to stay here until November. Cheers to Moab and to More Outstanding Adventures Before me!

Tour of Two States

2010-04-12T16:24:00.001-07:00

Live to ride, ride to live! Gordo, Sam, and I ventured on an unforgettable scrape last weekend. The three of us set out Friday evening round 5:30 with one goal in mind...."Let's SCRAPE!" We made it to Beaver Mountain before it was dark, so we set up camp. It was a frigid night but luckily squished into a three man tent we found moments of warmth. Gordo awoke us by yelling in his sleep thinking people were stealing our scrapers. In the morning we set out and conquered two major climbs to the summit before Bear Lake. What a way to start the morning. My lungs were pumping, my heart was racing, and nothing but a grin on my face as we zoomed down to the blue blue water below. Time flew by as we made our way to Ovid Idaho. From there after a lunch break we headed up highway 36 through a tight canyon. What a marvelous sight. Cache Forest was brilliant and we all enjoyed the scenery as we passed it slowly up the steep endless up-hill. After reaching the peak elevation of 7,424 we hit that pavement so fast with 5%-6.5%-7% downhill grades! WAHOO! I loved the next rolling hills towards Mink Creek and beyond. The sun smiled upon us in Preston, and we felt as if it was cheering us on....helping us to reach our destination....Only 30 more miles left. The hardest miles were those that followed Smithfield because I knew we were so so close to home. A victory dinner ensued thanks to Gordo's mama! I loved this tour and was so proud of all of us! We did it....Accomplished something great and our bodies, snacks, and bikes were all terrific.

It's never too late

2010-04-12T16:05:00.000-07:00

Yeah so I know that Spring Break was like a month ago, but let's re-live some of those great moments shall we. Everyone around me is finishing huge papers, working on projects, and trying to decide what to do with their lives, so a little visit back to a simpler time is necessary. Spring Break 2010 was fab...highlights...Rock Climbing, Angels Landing, Morning Scrapes and tree climbing, Mikes Condo, Yummy FOOD, A 4-Pitch CLIMB!!!!

Next for Spring Break part two...CAPITOL REEF! Why not? So, I packed up and made my way back south for some camping, exploring, bagels galore, slow driving, but good good times! WAHOO!!

Walkin on Sunshine

2010-02-17T09:14:00.000-08:00

Samuel Abbott, Daniel Riding, and I walked out of the peanut butter house with a dream and a cardigan. The dream....to safely reach Brigham City that evening on foot. Off we ventured at 3:45 making our way towards main street. Introductory conversation began by dream telling followed by us finding our first treasure....$3.95 just lying on the side of the highway.

The stretch from my house to the mouth of the canyon seemed the longest! Although suprise visitors, Sam's brother, and Valentines Cupid himself, Eric lifted our spirits!

Once in the canyon, time seemed to fly, at a slow pace that is. We were pulled over in the canyon 3 times. Both officers were pleasant, kind, and confused at why were were walking to Brigham. (#2 and #3 were the same officer) We snacked on the yummiest treats called sour worms, lemonheads, and WONDERFUL GUMMI BEARS

Around 11:00 p.m. we made it to the Brigham City Exit. An hour earlier then we expected! Cheers to us and our tough bodies! We camped in a church parking lot after eating our weight at Betos. The boys continued on the journey to SLC that morning and completed what they set out to do on Sunday Evening! CHEERS!

Topics of conversation: Dreams, trees, girls, boys, church, songs, life, fun, good times, hard times....love! AHHH I really do love the both of you!

If at first you don't succeed, ski ski again

2010-01-20T09:46:00.000-08:00

Three cheers for the Beav
for borrowing fancy skis
not hitting any trees
falling only once upon my knees
clean air so as not to wheeze
sailin down D street with ease
My heart all full of Glee

A little more snow now won't you please??

GRADUMATATION

2009-12-15T12:11:00.001-08:00

I did it...can you even believe it? Me graduating from Utah State University. When I look back to graduating high school I never expected this. First of all, when I entered Snow College's doors, I had full intentions of going on to nursing! Blah!! Remember how I don't like seeing people sick and I dislike strongly the sight of blood, guts, and body fluids? During our CNA practicals at the old folks home I would cry the night before 'cause I didn't want to go. So with a break, some money, and taking a landscape job for the summer....WHALLAA a major and new town was decided. Logan has been so good to me, and I have lived away from 'ole Orem for a solid 2.5 years. Now look at me...College grad with a degree in HORTICULTURE! Yes, I usually have to repeat myself to others and many have no idea what that is, which makes me feel even smarter! I love what I do and I love that the learning doesn't stop here. Anywhere I go in the world has agriculture-new plants-new methods-GREEN GOODNESS! I wouldn't be here if it weren't for some important peeps. Let me give a shout out-Jason, for employing me as an installer especially during Christmas breaks to help save some money, Jo Jo for being the first grad in the family and paving the way. Jenn-for also helping me find a job and creating a budget plan. Jodie and Kodey-they helped more then ever when I was struggling to make ends meet! Buster-for being a great little writer on his mission to help me get through rough tests. Last but not least, my padres for supporting me all the time through my crazy ideas...They were so great to come visit frigid Logan, send holiday packages, and make sure I was doing alright! I wouldn't have been graduated had it not been for these life savers! LOVE LOVE LOVE YA!

WFR 2009

2009-08-26T08:34:00.000-07:00

I just can't help but laugh at Buster every time I watch this. I mean come on...what was he thinking! I don't have to really say anything else because Jo Jo wrote a wonderful blurp about it at mom's.

Dancing Queen

2009-04-10T09:14:00.000-07:00

We had a family reunion where I saw cousins that I hadn't seen in over 14 years! We had a ball getting to know each other...again! Activites: playing in the sun, eating lots of food, swimming, and mooching off Aunt Molly! Saturday evening all of us (over 40 peeps) joined in for the funnest family dance party ever! Thanks to Nelly and Joel for starting it off right! I'd never had so much fun dancing! We even got my dad and my great Aunt Maryanne and Uncle Jerry (over 70) to join in! Does it get any better then this? Don't think so!!

Today is the day of the wearin of the green!

2009-03-17T15:03:00.001-07:00

My favorite holiday started out with some delicious GREEN chocolate chip, bannana pancakers followed by a glass of GREEN orange juice to gulp it down! There's just something special about walking around campus and seeing all the green eye candy that people are wearing! Some people go more out then me, if you can believe it! I did my little song and dance, ate some shamrock cookies generously given to me by Mama, and placed a tatoo on my hand. Here are some facts I learned a month ago while researching a topic for my folklore class.

* We celebrate this day in honor of St. Patrick's death

* The color to comemorate him was actually blue??? WIERD

* The first St. Patrick's Day Parade took place in Chicago

* The Chicago river is dyed green with 40 lbs of dye every year

* Leprachans weren't a part of this celebration until Walt Disney introduced them in his film starring Sean Connery...Darby O'Gill and the Little People.

JUST KISS ME ALREADY...I'M IRISH!!

Snow drops keep fallin on my head

2009-01-05T15:13:00.000-08:00

You want it....we got it! Lots of ice also!! Doesn't matter as long as you stay warm adventures abound in the winter in Logan also!

Snow is exciting with hoodrats...till they break their leg :(

Snow helps you make friends....sometimes they like to leave for awhile till you make em again

There's nothing Old about OLD MAIN HILL to Bomb down any young day!

Sometimes snow makes you sleepy

Get on Your Bikes and Ride

2008-11-10T14:39:00.000-08:00

Bicycle races are coming your way so look for those beauties oh yeah! You can't stop the free spirit and the Diamondback! So, Elliott and I had a goal to ride our bikes to SLC since April. Why we waited till November....who knows.

We completed our 92 mile ride from Logan, Utah on the morning of the 8th around 7:00 a.m. We decided to go the Tremonton way which included 13 extra miles, foggy roads, lots of D.T.'s (dead things), frost in our hair, and a glorious over look!

Our adventure took us Southbound; peddling around small towns, unbusy streets, lots and lots of hills, and through the neverending drag of DUMB OGDEN! That place went on forever! Taking only a short scrumptious apple break, and lunch at Costa Vida (that we quickly scarffed down), we arrived in glorious SLC in a bit over 9 hours! Oh, the wonderful sightings of the capitol building, and Beck street never looked so good!! Besides sore knees and tired legs, we had no problems except for one small incident including a trip down the on ramp of 1-15! Who knew that 89 turned into the freeway??

Our bikes were victorious and my free spirit kept my legs a turning! I'm so glad we made it!!! Especially I'm greatful to Holly Jo for taking care of me afterwards and Cody Bell for giving me a ride back to Logan. My bum couldn't take any more! Finally thought, WE DID IT!! Cheers....

We're Missing Someone

2008-10-08T11:12:00.000-07:00

Here we are the Woods kids. Now not so seperated by age...the big kids and little kids collide and actually become bestest friends! It seems that I'm not the only one who can't take a serious picture...JAKE! I love em all and love their little families that keep growing in number! We still are missing someone! Buster...where are you? I need you so I won't be the only single one in the family! Only 8 months...the final countdown begins....THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!

TOU LEGS DEATH MATCH

2008-09-30T13:41:00.000-07:00

Here are the finishers! Me, Elliott, Wools, and Daniel. 26.2 miles of complete bliss! Are you joking me? Why do I keep doing these crazy hoodrat things? I got around mile 19 and then just want to sneak in and pretend to be one of the volunteers passing out the drinks. Dan and Wools finished way fast in a time called 3:38 about!! Wowzers!

As for me and the pumpkin...we bolted across that finish line around 4:19! I'm glad we did it....and in costumes! Can you even believe we were the only two dressed up out of over 2500??
We have all recovered and decided that this running business just doesn't get old!

WEDNESDAY WALK

2008-06-05T16:58:00.000-07:00

Alright so this picture doesn't even do justice....but we started this crazy thing last week called....everyone meet and walk at 8:15! We just wanted to see how many peeps we could get to walk with us...in honor of Hot Rod (I've never seen it). Ultimately it was a success!! We had over 45 people and everyone crammed onto the local CTV bus! We drove it around and cheered loudly. Maybe this could only be done by a bunch of white Mormon kids in Logan, Utah. Don't know if this will continue but once was CRAZY!

It's FRO YO TIME

2008-06-05T16:51:00.000-07:00

Is taking a fro-yo break three times a week to much? (Fro-yo by the way is frozen yogurt from Maverick gas station) There are two stations close by but each being about 5 miles from my house. Scrapping on our scrapper bikes is the only way to get there, so I feel after my hard work I deserve a treat. The flavors change weekly and the best part is you can bottom out....fill your cone as high as you can allow!! LOVE IT LOVE IT!!

It BURNITH mine retinas

2008-03-31T16:43:00.001-07:00

Friday night I was hanging out with my new cousins....actually my friend camie's cousins, but I decided to leave early and do other activites. Whilst I was away, a dead carcus of a skunk was left propped up on these cousins front door step. When the stench was discovered by the home owners all fingers and accusations pointed to the one not there...ME! Later that night I had the enjoyment of finding the pungent smell arising from under my little saturn. Those hoodlums decided to retaliate upon an innocent friend by placing the rotting animal on a rope tied to the back of my car! SO VILE!
