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? Dan In the trash with it. And, get a roll of chicken wire. Lay pieces on the ground over your seeds, slightly arched, and weighted down at the edges with bricks. Works like a charm. http://www.bowhunting.net/susieq/squirrel.html Up here the little buggers cary wire cutters (in their mouths). Standard chicken wire doesn't hold 'em back. You need the heavy electro welded square mesh stuff to do the job. |

Call a city agency? Bury it in my back yard? What would you do? Dan Most sanitary solution in suburbia would be to throw it on the burn pile. If you dont have a burn pile then bury it under a tree you would like to see grow faster. Or just throw the damn thing in the garbage. |

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". -- |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Malcolm Hoar "The more I practice, the luckier I get". | | Gary Player. | | http://www.malch.com/ Shpx gur PQN. | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

No trailer though-- gotta' 4300 square foot custom designed and built home in north Georgia...and from which I can plink squirrels high in the adjacent oak trees from my second floor bedroom window or balcony. The kids need to use a scoped .22 rifle while I can drop them with a .22 pistol-- my favorite being my vintage Browning Challenger with a 6" barrel. |

If you're talking about the Rachel Carson quote, she was right. All mature, educated people are fully aware of the truth of her statement by now. |

You got it effed-up. We love Marines. They do what they do very well, I guess the resolution was just badly drafted (pun intended) then? 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, So, you reckon city government should be making the career choices for your young citizens then? -- |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Malcolm Hoar "The more I practice, the luckier I get". | | Gary Player. | | http://www.malch.com/ Shpx gur PQN. | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
