Thanks!
I had California and local history in grammar school, high school and two of them in College. It was very fun!

I read the Ishi, last of his Tribe book too. I also wrote a paper on a tribe in the Paskenta area that was forced to move to the coast. It was a mini trail of tears type of thing.

As invaders, we were not nice to the Native Population.

Lots of Bingo places here now tough! Those are from the ones that survibed

Too bad people do not live like the Native People used to. The earth would be a better place.

Freezing rain here. I'm subbing for a co worker so I'm at work. Hope it stops before my ride home.

Seems something the population needs to get riled up about. I guess it makes sense not to have wells and septic systems at every house in "small lot" neighborhoods but where there are many acre properties hundreds or more feet from the road and even farther from each other??

It depends on where you live. I'm in the city now and have city water, sewer, and gas. My parents are in a subdivision and each lot has it's own septic tank, but they are on "city" water (filtered and pumped into a water tower then runs down into the houses) and don't have gas or anything, just electric, if you want gas you have to get your own tank and have it filled yourself. My farm is way out in the sticks and it has electric run to it, but that's it. It has a "over the hill" type septic tank and a well.

Me too, Chicki. The last time I brought it up DH reminded me about the bad luck I've had with Marek's. The previous owner of our property - the one with the wormy sheep - also had goats. I bet real money that they were never tested for Johne's Disease or anything else. Not with the number of goat skulls we've found around the property.

He reminded me that I'd have to dig a bigger hole if a goat died.....and reminded me about the size of the hole we had to dig when one of our sheep died. Couldn't think of any counter argument at that point in time. What is the old saying? Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you?

Dead goats are good protein for chickens? Don't have to worry about the chickens getting what the goat had (I don't think) so no need to bury, just open up the body and let the girls go to town.
