[....] [....] I see very few posts that originate there, and it makes for a *MUCH* better USENET experience. =) having given some thought to the several different times I've seen you mention the quality post originating from people using google as their access to usenet I am now most incline to agree with you. how is it the vast majority of them seem to be in possession of a great need to argue any point for the sole need of demanding their view be considered as the only correct an applicable one. |

We went from almost record temps and drought this summer, to eight inches of rain in August so far, from one extreme to the next. Some are flooded in the Mansfield area. We've gone from one of the strangest freezes I can remember (around Easter) to 105F (actual) last week. 100 tomorrow, they say. I'm bettin' on warmer. =( Rain? Let's see. We got 1/2" last weekend. That was the first measurable rain in about a month, with upper 90's for temps. Oh, ya, we got ..08" the other night. My bad. g Chinch bug and dollar spot out the ying-yang now. Too soon to say what the white grub population will be like. I'm hoping all this rain lately will slow the chinch down a bit. Bugs ain't been much of a problem, after some early jap beetles. It's so ****in' hot, *nothing* is stirring, heh. -- Eggs What's another word for thesaurus? |

My bad. g Bummer, that's a tough environment to maintain turf grass or most anything else for that matter. Do you have crops around you? Well, corn is obviously done. Beans and wheat aren't looking too good. Chinch bug and dollar spot out the ying-yang now. Too soon to say what the white grub population will be like. I'm hoping all this rain lately will slow the chinch down a bit. Bugs ain't been much of a problem, after some early jap beetles. It's so ****in' hot, *nothing* is stirring, heh. No doubt. I'm surprised the heat doesn't trigger at least some level of a surface insect problem. Perhaps you're on an island at that course. (not much insect encroachment)? Nah, just a bazillion chemicals, LOL. That's where our lawns get them from for the most part here, especially in developments where the homes are really squeezed in tight. The chinch will literally run down the street to the next lawn and grow to 100 females/sg ft fairly quick. Gang fun. At any rate I hope you people get some much deserved rain soon, and NOT all at once. Maybe fall will be better for both of us. Ya, thanks man. And, I hope so! I'm ready for some nice, cool, fall plantings. =D -- Eggs - The Lady of the Lake-- her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur.
