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. Sorry folks, forgot to take my own advice, and clip the offending newsgroup from the header. We got summer in northern California, bees, butterflies, and all kinds of teeny flies working the onion flowers and the wisteria. Cranked up Andre Bocelli and I'm digging a bed for some asparagus crowns that should be here early this week. -- - Billy "For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception until death." - Rachel Carson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI29wVQN8Go http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1072040.html |

Call a city agency? Bury it in my back yard? What would you do? Dan My cat brings in quite a few hunting trophies. Gophers, rats, birds, and lizards. I put them in a coffee "can" (cylindrical cardboard with plastic lid)1 in the freezer until trash day. Keeps 'em from stinking up anything. And no, I don't keep my coffee in the freezer, so I've never made the sleepy-eyed mistake. Of course, squirrel is good on the grill. |

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. Sure, Carson was right about dangerous chemicals in the air. Since time immemorial, all life has been subject to noxious things in the air: Sulfur dioxide from volcanoes, extra fine dust from drought conditions, soot from forest fires. All manner of nasty stuff. On these, Carson was irrefutably correct. On DDT, however, Carson was wrong. Criminally wrong. Each year over 800,000 people - mostly children - die from Malaria. Malaria is a disease we know how to eradicate. We did it in North America. We did it in the Canal Zone. We haven't done it in Africa because of Rachel Carson. May her name be erased. |

Light actually bends when it goes by Bub. He withholds knowledge, twists the truth, lies, and when pressed, is actually ignorant. The Stockholm Convention, which entered into force in 2004, outlawed several persistent organic pollutants, and restricted the use of DDT to vector control. The Convention was signed by 98 countries and is endorsed by most environmental groups.

The Malaria Foundation International states that "The outcome of the treaty is arguably better than the status quo going into the negotiationsFor the first time, there is now an insecticide which is restricted to vector control only, meaning that the selection of resistant mosquitoes will be slower than before."[26] Despite the worldwide ban on agricultural use of DDT, its use in this context continues in India[27] North Korea, and possibly elsewhere.[11] "Today, about 4-5,000 tonnes of DDT is used each year for vector control." [11] In this context, DDT is applied to the inside walls of homes to kill or repel mosquitos entering the home. This intervention, called indoor residual spraying (IRS), greatly reduces environmental damage compared to the earlier widespread use of DDT in agriculture. It also reduces the risk of resistance to DDT.[28] This use only requires a small fraction of that previously used in agriculture; for example, the amount of DDT that might have been used on 100 acres (0.4*km?) of cotton during a typical growing season in the U.S. is estimated to be enough to treat roughly 1,700 homes.[29] Got that Bub?

Ants are the biggest natural and quick disposal machine for dead varmints around here. -- Dave |

Call a city agency? Bury it in my back yard? What would you do? Dan Came home from a long weekend trip last fall and while I was unloading the car my wife headed for the master bathroom. Something about my trying to train her to hold if for those four plus hour trips without stopping causes her to run for that bathroom every single time. This time was a bit different than normal and instead of seeing her emerge with that relieved look on her face I hear the blood curdling scream. I know that last leg of the trip was a bit longer than normal but damn, it wasn't that long. I dropped everything and ran for the back bathroom where I found my wife looking like she had seen the devil himself. Her eyes were bulging and she was pointing at the john. I didn't see anything wrong, I had left the lid down before we left and it was still down so I knew it wasn't that. I reached in and lifted the lid and there curled up and floating on top of the water was a dead squirrel. It had apparently crawled down the vent pipe and found its way into the commode where it had drowned. I pulled the dead carcas out and put it into a 1 gallon zip lock bag. I then placed that bag into a trash back and sealed it. Both then went into the trash for next day pickup. Oh, and my wife never ever never ever goes to the potty without turning on the lights and double checking under the lid before setting down. Can't figure why she wanted that small ceremic squirrel to sit on the top of the tank though. |
