Report Details How Big Ag Overexploitation Is 'Draining the Colorado River Dry' "We cannot save the Colorado River without combating corporate power." https://www.commondreams.org/news/colorado-river-big-ag
My sister moved her family to Just outside of cape Canaveral, but still on the island! I love her with all my heart, but I have no idea what she is thinking on sooo many levels….the only thing that makes any sense is the financial aspect. The political landscape, the weather factors, the distance from the rest of her family? i dunno….
A west coast hurricane? My sister is laughing at me right now but its short term. She just moved from cali to Florida and all ive been saying is she will regret it as soon as the first hurricane hits… Mother nature making me look silly at the moment but i know it will come in time. Father time beats Mother nature every time, damn evil woman beater he is…..
Wow, a Californian moving to Florida?...yup, she'll have to learn about dealing with hurricanes and it will likely also be quite a culture shock. My Mom moved up here with us last October and we built her, her own little "cottage" on our acreage out back...she voted for Trump in 2016 and soon regretted it and also can't stand De Santis...needless to say, she loves it out here in the country...and was actually proud of herself after killing her first "critter" yesterday, a Timberback rattler.
The ocean’s fever https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-08-21/ocean-tempertature-records-2023/102701172 Some great graphs in this article. Ocean temperatures at record highs, ice levels at record lows.
No. And as someone who has worked as a field biologist, I have been around a lot of snakes. Avoid them and they avoid you. Killing a wild animal for no reason is just about the dumbest and most evil shit I can think of, aside from purposefully causing human suffering. It's bullshit, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.
Thank you ^^^ Mom just turned 90 and we live a good 25 minutes to the nearest hospital which is small, and might not have the the right anti-venom. ...a bite to either of us could be fatal, even if not, we have a lot of timberbacks, diamond backs, copperheads, and cotton mouths...and a bite leaves a ghastly festering wound.
Dont let the Almighty moral authority jackholes tell you what is safe or not safe for your mother. Any biologist would know all humans excrete odors differently, which attract animals differently. Dont make your surroundings safe and free of fear. How dare yoyr evil mother kill a snake to feel safe on her own property!! That shit is as evil as it gets!!! Some people need to get out of other peoples lives… i mean wtf? or better yet, stfu with the better than thou bullshit! I killed a bees nest hanging inside my pumphouse thso weekend. Put me in the evil catergory too!!! fricken ridiculous how some people think they can be soooo fucking judgemental when they dont even know all the facts about scenarios or instances… But fuck it. You all evil because you killed some animal that could be a threat, in your personal surroundings…. Evil people!!!! oh. I hired a pest control company last year. Ill let them know they and all their employees are evil entities too cause someone on S2 said so!!!!
Yup, and if the other poster is truly a biologist that knows anything about snakes he would know that on cold/cool mornings snakes are sluggish and don't always move well until it warms up or lays in the sun a while until their body temperature rises and aren't always able to avoid you even if they wanted to...and rattlers don't always "rattle" and moccasins don't have rattles and most snakes are also well camouflaged. What I'm getting at is that if you mistakenly step on one or very near one, you WILL get bitten. We also have a lot of king snakes out where I live, and whenever I see one, I give it the right away, and why?, because they kill and eat rattlesnakes.
Snakes want to avoid you. They are not nearly the problem people think they are. They do not want to bite you and will actively avoid doing so. Been around a lot of snakes. Given the advanced age of your mother, however, I understand the abundance of caution. There are snake relocation experts in almost every community though, who can and will remove problem snakes to safe areas. Another great way to move a venomous snake out of the way is to spray it with a good old fashioned water hose. In general, I can appreciate the caution you are taking with those close to you, but there are much better ways to deal with the issue: ways that don't kill creatures just living their lives; and ways that don't throw the local food-chain out of balance. Killing snakes is a great way to get a localized rodent infestation, for instance. These are just my thoughts. They are important to me. But, I won't pester you further about it.
Thank you, I appreciate it...and you can handle the vipers in your area the way you see fit, and I'll do the same.
Living in Tallahassee, I just may get a chance. In case anyone from the FBI is reading, I am just joking and would never.
Ahhh, Tallahassee...great town, didn't know that's where you're at...stupid question of the day, Is Barnacle Bills still open? (wanna say it is on Monroe St?)...greatest oyster bar evah !
