people being normal

I hung out at the CCUA house for an evening last week.

Carrie makes pizza crust and Dan pours a beer.

Dan and Billy hang out on the porch.

Loki is probably the nicest giant dog I've ever met, despite the time he tried to fling a piece of deer carcass at me.

CCUA at home

Dan, Billy and Bobby work on pricing the produce they'll sell from the production farm.

Bobby had been working on dismantling a defunct piano to sell the metal inside. After Bobby launched part of the piano down the steps, they both realize that it's headed straight for Dan's truck.

Luckily, it didn't hit the truck. Bobby and Dan laugh at the crisis averted.

The Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture is starting an urban farm. Produce sales will provide revenue for the group and the farm will also be a demonstration area where they can continue educating the public on sustainable agriculture. Last Friday, volunteers moved compost into rows.
