    Tardigrade

    Very interesting reading. I am going to see if there are any living in our very acidic pineland environment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade

    Apple opposes Judge's order to unlock shooter's phone

    Guy, I understand completely that you are sensitive to criticism of Apple because of your loyalty to their product. But I want you to know that when I think of Apple, I never really think of product quality, which by all accounts is usually outstanding. I think of their business practices...

    Pine Insect Damage

    Say 46'r, isn't that a red-headed woodpecker? I've never seen one around here before.

    Pine Insect Damage

    Hmm. I never knew they did that. Interesting. I keep a suet block sometimes, hanging in the maple out front. The woodpeckers are always first in line, but when the grackles showed up, everyone else backed off.

    I really dislike Apple. No man is an Island. Neither is a large corporation. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/08/technology/apple-supreme-court-ebook-prices.html?action=click&contentCollection=Technology&module=RelatedCoverage&region=Marginalia&pgtype=article

    Pine Insect Damage

    A nut Gibby? I thought they only met insects with that sharp beak. Do you mean both Woodpeckers and squirrels use the holes? Interesting.

    Pine Insect Damage

    I've been coming across a lot of pine trees in the middle of cedar swamps that are dead due to insects. What's killing them I don't know, not sure if the beetle does it or not. But today, after I saw the first one in the photo below, 50 yards away I see this large pine with holes up to 1" in...

    Solar Shower

    Last year I put one in the back yard. It's great in the summer to come in off the trail and shower outside. http://www.sharperimage.com/si/view/product/Solar+Shower/202528 She does not come with the shower. :( Anyway, I had to fiddle around getting the material to install it. Today I saw an...

    Apple opposes Judge's order to unlock shooter's phone

    Guy, entertaining. From the video: "there is no easy side to be on in this case". That is a fact. In this particular case, where a terrorist killed many people, I'm on the side of law enforcement. I'm not sure where this will go in the future, but there are many scenarios where criminals...

    Where is this?

    It's not that simple in this state Al. I know you mountain men can do what you like out west, but here there are politics here, and humane organizations are very against it. On top of that, the state has a stingy quota system in place.

    Where is this?

    No plastic pipes in the pinelands for me. No beaver either.

    Where is this?

    I think your idea of citizen volunteers to pull the wood out is good but for one thing; we'd create a huge flood and wash out the road, then we'd all be in the water. I sent the info in to the state just now.

    Where is this?

    Yes, and I might add that the place is in the worst condition it could possibly be in. The water level at the boardwalk is the highest I've ever seen it. I will be contacting someone I know at the state to try and convince Fish and Game to extirpate the beaver for good. Look at it now. Here is...

    Bulltown Road Civilization?

    Tim, Although I have never seen anyone like that, I would think it is possible. Some of the homes cannot be seen from Bulltown road. Maybe they are there.
