I was thinking this might be a good place to find tipsy crows.

A dad that has ditched 2 women and taken their kids? Now who do you suppose he will find to look after this little girl for him? another woman that doesn't really want that job? Look at how he has played up to the media - not to find Kyron, but to influence the public to his side in his domestic quarrel. Unless Kyron got sold to some pervert, likely he is better off where he is than he ever could be by being brought back.

Otherwise the discussion does not quite make sense. Also, as best I can determine, the reason the bedbug is not listed as a vector, is because it doesn't transmit human diseases that we know of. Some people can develop severe allergies to them, however. "Bed bugs are not listed as a vector in Oregon, and there is no mandatory reporting system for bed bug infestations. A vector is any organism capable of transmitting disease, such as fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and rodents. They are capable of carrying human pathogens, but they’ve been (not?) proven to transmit disease between humans. If bed bugs were deemed a vector, landlord and tenant laws could be rewritten to help landlords treat units effectively and help tenants comply with treatment requirements." One of the huge problems with DDT was the thinning of eggshells of birds, particularly birds of prey. It seems to me that DDT could be used effectively against bedbugs without endangering the birds for the simple reason that bedbugs are inside, and the birds are outside. There should be no problem with the birds contacting the poison, or eating poisoned bedbugs.

But some is sure to escape the compose heap - too lucrative to use for mere methanol.

Keep the pollen out of the nose and the problem doesn't happen. However, when the pollen count really soars, the eyes take it as well. I haven't yet gone to wearing swim goggles outside, but it would probably work - but be pretty uncomfortable on a hot day.

I couldn't figure out the lyrics, and it sounds pretty clumsy to sing. Without the video, I can't see much merit in the new song. The old song was easy to sing - I can still do the first verse without looking - but I agree that the march music is rather passe, and certainly the historical meaning is lost on most folks. It was rather popular during the centenial year. Not against something new, but hey, make it easy and fun to sing, OK?

Not cool. And one very brave woman who laid her all on the line for her children and the neighbor's to a man who had returned to the neighborhood - to kids he had talked to before (SCARY) - and suceeded! Perhaps technically there was a better approach, but it may not have worked, either. I hope she has no regrets.

But I think requiring significant liability insurance would be a good move - and lesser amounts of liability insurance for other breeds in accordance with the amount of harm they tend to cause.

Nice to hear them admit they didn't make the rounds, anyway. It only moved about $15 from one month to the next for us, though.

Independent schools can function with quite a bit less overhead. Teachers have told me that what they gain from the district in support is more than offset by extra requirements of the district.

Temp is 20 F. The kitten is trying to walk on top of the snow, and mostly succeeding, the dog cracks her shins on the icy crust. The traffic has kept the snow depth down on the roads so most vehicles will have enough clearance once they get out of their driveway.

Maybe I should strap on the snowshoes for a stroll to the mailbox.
