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.

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.

Ah, yet another pseudo environmentalist-wacko & Obammy-socialist
weights in.

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. Recognizing that a total
elimination of DDT use in many malaria-prone countries is currently
unfeasible because there are few affordable or effective alternatives,
the public health use of DDT was exempted from the ban until
alternatives are developed. The Malaria Foundation International states
that "The outcome of the treaty is arguably better than the status quo
going into the negotiationsŠFor 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? "About 4-5,000 tonnes of DDT is used each year for vector
control." Now you can return to your gang of geeks at tx.bozos. Because
everyone here knows that you don't.

Idiot.

Bury it and plant a tomato over it. It's excellent fertilizer. ;o)

Handle with vinyl gloves. Place in plastic bag. Empty contents on top of
the nearest large ant bed. Do not re-use the bag. Ants are the biggest
natural and quick disposal machine for dead varmints around here.

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.
