I responded to someone who said they were dumping animals into the "woods
a few miles away." Well, that could be me. I really don't care if you ask
a property owner out in the country if you can dump a creature on his
property: He doesn't own everywhere the animal may wander to before it
sets up shop.

Okay. Us country bumpkins dasn't know nothin'. Only the urbazoids do.
Now, on to bigger things. I'm swamped in cucumbers and tomatoes from our
three week drive out west and all of the rain that came while we were
gone. I finally attacked the garden with a weedeater as pulling all of
the weeds wasn't an option. More than two thirds of the chiles had been
strangled out or had died of too much wet. I have the biggest Anaheims
we've ever raised and almost no habs, a few vayennes and no jalapenos.
Scattered through the war zone are two ornamental purples, a couple of
super chiles, one cowhorn and various sweets.
Not much canning going to happen this year.
