    Geode Hunting In Iowa?

    uh huh. it's got to be right up there with doing the same with poison ivy. sounds like fun to me, however, i'd rather do it after the first solid freeze - no worries about fire ants, or poison ivy then.......

    Japanese Beetles Annual Thread

    i wouldn't spend a dime on chemical applications to kill these things - perhaps you took care for the ones that would have emerged from your yard, but how about the millions of others in the surrounding areas? if you have something they want to eat, they'll come to get it. putting down the...

    No Triple Crown winner this year

    Actually, just like Big Brown a few years ago, you have a horse that maybe was winning on the up and up. Not cheating, but taking advantage of rules around what meds can be used that vary from state to state. NY is very strict and laid down the law this week by quarantining all of the Belmont...

    Earliest you've ever heard a cicada?

    I had one humming last evening near the back yard in WDM. I must guess this is the earliest in the season I've ever heard one. Signs of early fall or winter, or just a product of being 6 weeks ahead of schedule, weather-wise this year? anyone else heard one this year?

    Nancy Sebring - DM Superintendant resigns

    +1. Giving your employer a reason to fire you, if they indeed are looking. Or building a case for future firing with cause.

    Nancy Sebring - DM Superintendant resigns

    start sending the emails she sent from your employer. if they monitor, which they do, good luck. i had a friend get caught up with this kind of thing (not using common sense while emailing) while he and i were employed by a fortune 500 sized company. he got an unpaid suspension of one...

    Hatfield & McCoy's--History Channel

    interesting to see the tv show having the elders hatfield and mccoy seeming to fight for the confederacy. the history says that the families fought on different sides - hatfields for the south, mccoys for the north - unless i misunderstood that first portion of the show.
