No. People don't get EHD. This virus does rear its ugly head now and then in our deer populations, we had it happen 8 or so years ago in NJ, I believe in the same area--Somerset and Middlesex counties. Biting midges, or Culicoides, are certainly around, and they carry more than EHD. These are...

Awesome, thanks so much for alerting us to this. :)

See, this is the sort of thing that keeps me coming back to this forum. That's great information, Guy, thanks very much. I'll have to incorporate that into a research paper this semester. It's just the thing to write about. :)

Great photos! I am in the middle of a graduate ecology class, so I am embarrassed to ask you this, but what's a "spung"?

I just switched from Comcast to Verizon Fios TV because of $$. (we save about $50 a month because of the package deal we now get). While nothing beats Comcast for content, (their On Demand is just awesome), Fios is pretty good and will only get better. I recommend it. :)

I got a passport, and that makes my life a lot easier. I carry it wherever I go.

Bastards. That makes my blood boil. Someone needs to get a frickin job and not steal from people and destroy their property. I don't understand people.

Joe and I were nearly killed by ticks and chiggers on Saturday. We probably should have stuck to the Jeep. :)

I suspect this bad press will change the security at Ancora.

I've seen several of them before, but none were quite so colorful, nor were they quite so hospitable. I did have my zoom all the way...zoomed, but he still let me get pretty close to him.

Speaking of reptiles, here's a shot from yesterday in Lebanon SF. I am not a photographer, but thought this little guy was pretty handsome. :)

It's hard to see what is in it, I don't mean to be gross, but did you happen to pick through it to see what it contained? That will give you a lot of clues. If a deer eats a high-moisture content such as is found on rich pasture, they can have feces that looks like that. The trick is to find out...

Not my kind of candidate.

You're absolutely right. Pointing the Icy Finger of Blame at anyone isn't going to accomplish anything.

FIrst of all, the guy is not living in a cave. That's what we're fed because it makes us feel better. He's living the high life. Second, your comment about Clinton....well, I guess I'll pass on this, political discussions are too messy, and I believe I am far outnumbered here on this forum. I...

Scientists?

Well, a friend of mine in Houston is having a problem with her kid, he is 7 and in a school where they're supposed to learn both English and Spanish. He can't keep up because everything, the tests, the books, etc is in Spanish. Now they are telling him he has to skip a grade to catch up. That is...

Wow. That's some interesting reading.

If you were that bothered by one tick, you may not want to camp out in the pines in late summer.

I have that sort of arrangement on my mortgage. The second was a crappy rate, but we have since refinanced that with our credit union. If you have good credit, I think you should expect ablut 6.5% to 6.75% on your first. The second? That's probably going to be more like 9-10%. It's prime plus...
