-t, I'm not sure about cows but there's been a number of news articles about using goats for weed control. They'll eat invasive and overgrown plants with minimal environmental damage. I did a story - years ago - about a road project near an endangered species (turtle, I think, but possibly a frog ... and maybe butterflies) habitat so they used goats to keep the weeds and grass under control without annoying the residents. Kids at a local school got to name the goats.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Yes he has. After she sees it he'll post them and I can put them up too. There may even be pictures of me water skiing. In Otter Lake, not here. Don't plan on water skiing with alligators.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, Toddson, there are outfits around here that have goats available for rent for clearing plants. Cows are not quite as willing to eat all the plants, but maybe they do enough for firebreak purposes? The cows have been out there for forever, I just didn't know whose they were.

Happy Birthday sj!
It's been the three Hs(hot, humid and horrible) here. Now we're having a thunderstorm. (Will it cool things off? Not counting on it)

The whole Thailand cave story is so captivating. I really hope a brilliant engineering mind comes up with a solution soon.

God, I hope so. But so far the best estimate appears to be months of waiting until the water drops? Which will be traumatizing to those poor children. I hope the soccer coach survives the ordeal and is not prosecuted for any possible negligence afterwards: he will have served his sentence underground, IMHO.
I am considering making cream puffs for the tailgate tomorrow. But it will require going to the store.
Gudanov, I'm not going to yell at you. Instead I'm going to post this article: [link]

Please remember that it's okay to look for help, and you deserve to be happier in your life. Think about what you want your life to be like, and take even the smallest step that way -- at least for your kids, if not for yourself.

((((((((Gud))))))) dude! You need a break!
This reminds me that one of my few actual friends at work is suddenly facing a very messy divorce.
She found out her husband had stolen their son's graduation money, which led to the revelation that he (the husband) has been using meth! They have 4 kids, 2 are high school age and 2 small ones, one a toddler. She is supporting the family because he mysteriously can't keep a job, so he has been the most-of-the-time caregiver for the baby! I knew there was something screwy there, but I'M no expert on relationships.
