Cool! I guess you are more up to date on CL than me! By the way, my husband thinks we should get goats (and rabbits) now. I think the chickens will keep me busy enough for awhile, though!

I can't even talk Steve into a pig yet! Ron even gave us a sample of his great bacon which I smoked (lightly this time) and it was fabulous! I do plan on getting a ton of chickens though and 1 more dog and he's on board for that. What I'd really like to get is a calf but what the heck do they eat out here? There's no grass!

Sunny, you offend me.
I was in advanced orchestra, remember? We well covered math in music. Mrs. Karl was the best teacher ever, and she taught all of music, not just how to play. We also learned the harmonics division, and sound frequencies. I know math is in everything. I, however, still hate it. Music is universal, we studdied stuff from different cultures and decribed our feelings for a peice of a different time/people.
I also took AP Statistics last year. It was difficult, but I'll admit the math and what you could do with it was interesting, and Mr. Waddell was an Amazing teacher through and through. Still didnt 'like' it. I took it just so I looked good for colleges. Seriously, I get math, at least a small amount more than the general high schooler. Not nearly as much as you, or even higher end undergrads, but I understand the subjects I took. (Algebra 1-2, Formal Geometry, Algebra 3-4, Trig, Calc, AP Stats.)
As for science, I loved it! couldnt get enough science. Bio, chem, human atnatomy, everything. :]
So let me rephrase: Although without math there wouldnt be music and a lot of people dont get how interesting it can be, math is still tedious and horrible. Favorite subject? English.
Since im on a roll and I really dont want to leave anyone non-irratated at me, sheryl, every time Edwards wins I cry a little to myself right before bed at night when no on is there to witness my moment of sadness. He is better than Johnson though, anyone is. Gordon is epic. I dont like Talladega anymore since a couple of years ago when Bobby Labonte had a bad crash and I thought he died. He's my childhood hero.

You want to plant Crested Wheatgrass. It is a perennial that grows with very little precipitation - ideal for the Nevada desert! In fact, out east on Hwy 50 there are millions of acres of it between Austin and Eureka. You still have to supplement their feed with alfalfa (especially in winter), but it gives them something to forage on and grows without irrigation. You plant the seed in the fall, and you have to let it grow for one season before the plants are established well enough to withstand grazing. Once established, it will self-propagate easily. There is a sign by the highway out east of Austin that tells how 1500 acres were seeded in 1950 and it has now spread to a couple million acres!

I think you are making a tall tale Ron
Grass that is not Cheat and needs no irrigation................hmmmmmmm
Sunny, we just might have to go look at it
eta: changed tail to tale.......ugh my spelling

Alright, that article is very good reading. Will be looking more into this type of grass - THANKS Ron
How about this:
Crested wheatgrasses resist cheatgrass competition better than native species because it germinates earlier and grows more rapidly at colder temperatures. This is an important competitive advantage when dealing with winter annual species such as cheatgrass.

Can't wait to get the link to buy the seed. Perfect timing for this news Ron. Thanks!!! And thanks Genny for doing that research!
Lacey I forgot you were so involved in Orchestra! Man and you used to talk about it all the time! My bad.
Well if you like music so much you must at least like that part of Math a little then... Maybe just a tad?
When I say "universal" I don't mean all the cultures here on Earth. I don't want to dredge up another heated discussion on this thread but after teaching science to some very precocious students I have to admit that I think it unlikely that we are the only planet in the universe that can sustain life.
Yes I said it! And out loud too.
