    Nasty neighbor....

    This person lives about 1/4 mile from me, but in my neighborhood. This summer she complained about my chickens to the HOA. The HOA rules say that no one can keep poultry "for commercial purposes"; and the board had previously ruled in my favor. I knew I was golden, but still had to deal this...

    Interesting new research...on belly buttons....

    I thought I had started this already, but it seems I messed up somehow. I saw this while I was looking at science news. It is about the third place lately that I've come across talking about biodiversity on human skin. One I saw recently said that something like 90% of the DNA on the human...

    In other election news...

    Did anyone notice the vote in Puerto Rico? For the first time ever they have voted for closer status to the US. They rejected commonwealth status and voted 61% for statehood. This will now go to Congress. It would be very interesting to have a state where most people's first language is...

    Crazy Cat Lady???!!!!

    I'm just wondering what constitutes a crazy cat lady. Is there a minimum number of cats? Or a certain level of craziness? Can a crazy cat lady have a husband and children at home? Is there an minimum age requirement or can a woman under 65 qualify? Is there a male equivilent? The foster...

    Random food question....

    For those of you who eat meat, is all meat the same? What I mean is horse, cow, dog, pig, songbird, shell-fish, or insects all the same? Would you choose not to eat certain meats? Would you condemn someone for eating a kind of meat you find disgusting? For me, knowing that eating meat...

    Simpsons ornaments...

    I scored some at the local thrift store. I'm not a huge fan, but my almost 14-year-old loves the Simpsons. I try to buy ornaments for the kids every year, each with some significance, however minor. I actually got a smile out of the boy when I showed him his ornaments for this year.

    Another interesting Science article...

    I actually heard the summary on ATC this evening. Yet more evidence of pre-Clovis settlements in North American. This time it is a spear point found in a mastodon rib that predates the Clovis culture by about 1000 years. I've long thought that the Siberian Land bridge couldn't have been...

    good food....

    My sister is visiting me. Today, for the first time, she had Vietnamese food and Indian food. I think she now understands why I am so fat. But seriously, she loved the food and it was great fun introducing her to new foods. We ordered more food than usual at the Indian restaurant, and she...

    Heat record...

    It has been 100+ degrees for 70 days this summer. The forecast for at least a week shows more temperatures in the 100s. A normal summer in the Austin area has 12 100+ days. The last time it was this hot was 1925, but we've come close several times in the last 5 years. In 1925, the record was...

    Off for the frozen northland...

    I'm heading to Alaska tomorrow with the family. It is time for my, ummm, 30th high school reunion. It will also be the first time I've been back for awhile. I'm looking forward to cooler, wetter weather.

    What do you do

    in your everyday life that makes a difference in the world? Why do you do it and why do you think it is important? Do you feel that it makes a difference? Does it matter to you if it changes nothing? Another thread got me thinking about this topic. So many people do things everyday that...

    Danged deer...

    They got my garden early. We have drought here. About 3 years ago now, I planted a dwarf pear. It has yet to fruit or even bloom. Why you might ask? Because every year, around the middle of June, the deer come in and eat off every single leaf. The poor tree hasn't got past 3 feet tall...

    Frustrated...

    I don't want to question moderation, because I know what a hard job it is, but some posters make me incredibly frustrated. They have certain hot button issues and posters that they seem to go after, and frequently get threads shut down because of it. I was just curious about how BYC in general...

    Hey fish folks....

    I've had goldfish in my pond for a couple of weeks. One of the apricot blush comets is developing black spots on its side. Is this a disease or a natural color variation. I've moved the fish to one of the pools on the stream so it is a little away from the other fish. I don't currently have...
