Warm weather is expected the next few days here in Berkeley, CA (~80
degrees) and wonder about putting it in plastic bags (nested) in my
trash container, pickup being Wednesday morning. Call a city agency?
Bury it in my back yard? What would you do?

Good lord, man. If something as minor as this is causing you such
anguish, what the hell you gonna do when things start getting *really*
effed up in the world?

Good grief, man. In Berkeley, CA a dead ant is "really effed up".

It's the capital of Crazy. A city that declared Marines unwelcome
and banned Marine recruitment within the city borders until the
lure of some Federal funds proved more attractive than their
"principles".

One mans crazy is another's eccenric. A degree in basket weaving from UC
Berkeley is probably worth $70K/year; from Stanford $100K.

You got it effed-up. We love Marines. They do what they do very well,
it's just the anal sphincters that tell them where and when to do it
that we have a problem with. Don't want no recruitment office,
recruiting our teenagers to become cannon fodder in the "Worst President
Ever"'s vanity wars, just to make Cheney's and Rumfeld's companies rich.
Just so's you won't think I'm a knee-jerk, anti-Republican, I should
tell you that (D) Senator Diane Feinstein's husband, Richard Blum, is
making out on the wars pretty well too.

And what can you say about politicians? If they weren't psychopaths,
they wouldn't be there. Take our Republican governator, 'Ahnold",
(Please!). He's a multiple sexual offender, who smokes dope (see
"Pumping Iron",
http://www.netflix.com/Search?lnkce=...&search_submit
..x=0&search_submit.y=0&lnkce=acsNoEnhRt ) and goes to Canada to smoke
Havana cigars (illegal don'cha know?). What can I say? People in La La
Land love him, but "posing" in big down there. People plowing their 4
wheel drives back and forth in the commute traffic, just to "look"
macho. At least the women down there dress for men, not like up here.
Nothing sexual, just competitive.

What jerkwater town did you say you where from?
