The Border Patrol sees an issue with the dense vegetation alone some stretches of the Rio Grande that are being used as hiding places for bandits. So, they want to get rid of the vegetation in some places. Now, that idea has some problems in and of itself - it will have an effect on erosion and waterflow of the river. But, national security probably should take precedence. Here is where it gets just plain stupid. Their plan is to poison the vegetation along a pilot mile stretch. Poison? Seriously? Its a riverbank, morons, you want to poison the river? These areas are high desert or chapparal, which burn over naturally every so often anyway... why not do that? Why introduce a toxin which will have unknown negative effects, instead of using the mechanism that nature does? Ugh. Sometimes I wonder why humans are considered an intelligent species.

The wife and I are going to Seattle over memorial day weekend. Looking for some suggestions on things to do and see. We already planned to spend one day hiking at Mt Rainier. Trying not to spend a ridiculous amount of money while there.

I'll also vouch for utorrent.

Happy Birthday!!

This made me laugh.

Currently reading Dynamo.

I'll second that assessment.

Reading the title of the thread, I thought someone was giving us a personal medical update.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Mar 20, 2009 -> 01:47 PM) Happy Birthday! And I think Murray would have Greg bring the cheese plate...but only 12 pieces for your 16 friends.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Mar 20, 2009 -> 09:47 AM) Happy Birthday! Someone already called you a commie, so now I don't have to. Hope you have a great day! Thanks...and if you felt a sudden rash or ringing in your ears recently it's because they kept sending me back to Texas over the past 2 weeks. It was brutal.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Mar 20, 2009 -> 08:46 AM) I'll get Murray to send down a cheese plate and Brett to bake some croutons for you. Happy Birthday!!!!! I'd prefer a few of Murray's smashed chocolates.

Thanks guys. Halfway dead now at 35.

Thoroughly enjoying the latest Black Mountain album.
