Hey PETA, Screw Wildlife

Our biosphere is dying, and we can only save it, one raccoon at a time. Geez...you haven't looked out my back door lately. I live on 15 acres of nowhereness, northwest of Pittsburgh near the Ohio line. On any given day, 20 or 30 deer wander by, mostly at the treeline that abuts the open field of the next parcel, ~150ft behind the house. Local turkey flocks are positively routine, and I don't mean 5, I mean 30 or 40 at a time. Raccoons aren't too common, but I see them now and again. This year, there is a family of foxes living in the woods somewhere just southwest of the house who step now and again into the yard, generally at dawn or dusk. The deer congregate most days in what we've long called "town hall", which is a low hollow inside the treeline on the far side of the power tower right-of-way, ~200yds due east of the house...except during hunting season, when they disappear for parts unknown. They figured out long ago when they need to make themselves scarce. Then there's the possums that often befriend our cats for playful romps after dark. Add in the moles and voles that the cats hunt during the day. I can't say I'm sorry to see our feline Mighty Hunters having success in that department, as long as they don't bring gifts (or [worse] half-gifts) into the house. Coyotes avoid the house, but they are known to live in the woods down near the creek, still on my property but well toward the northeast corner of it. No bears these days, at least none that we know of. But small stuff like toads and whatnot are everywhere. I could feed my household using nothing but a crossbow, without ever having to step outside the yard immediately surrounding the house. All I have to do is wait for the game to show up. It's a funny view of "the dying biosphere" that some folks have. Billy has bought into the hoax. |

Billy doesn't know that there is no longer a consensus. Billy doesn't know that the global temp has dropped .74 since "An Inconvenient Truth." Happy to edify. |

Billy doesn't know that there is no longer a consensus. Billy doesn't know that the global temp has dropped .74 since "An Inconvenient Truth." Happy to edify. All I know for sure is people are generally stuck where they live, they can't really move around to where its more comfortable to live. So that brings it down to a singularity of each and every individual, not a global thing. In the U.S. (not the globe), its been more cool up north, much warmer south and west with less precipitation. Central Texas is about to surpass the drought of the 1950's I don't know why, I just know that it is. And it doesn't matter why as we can't do anything about it, climatic or otherwise man-made in a reasonable amount of time. Either way, the time-line for such is too substantial for one generation to see that change for the better. So, therefore, I submit all the political mumbo-jumbo about all this is just that. Either left or right. Just another political opportunity to take jabs at each other when there's no reality basis to begin with. -- Dave |
