My middle daughter Kate was crazy about Little House on The Prairie. So much so she begged for the books when she found out the TV show was based on them. Well, as she finished one I'd pick it up and read it.

Story goes, "Pa" was waiting to harvest the crops (not sure if it was corn or wheat) but a swarm of crows took advantage and hung around eating up the fields with no mercy.

So, instead of the family going hungry, Pa began shooting 'fat' crows ... You can figure out the rest.

PLEASE tell me you Canucks are working on a Moon shot ...

drillanwr, funny to see the Globe and Mail wade into this now, they've spent the past 2 decades pimping for Canada's Liberal Party, in some quarters they're seen as the Liberal Party's newsprint wing. I was surprised to see this weekend they've a representative at the Tea Party Convention.
It must be real quiet in their lunch room these days, I've no idea what crow tastes like with cranberries y "fixin's"

History of the ld World was all about cannibalistic monarchs, royals, elites, and intergenerational political families, many of whom suffered from hemophilia and all of whom were certifiably nuts and downright dangerous from centuries of inbreeding.

Our teachers taught us good, they did. They said that Old Europe and those determined to emulate its socialism were doomed, as most their leaders talked stupid, acted stupid, and made no sense on top of it.

Other than that, no opinion on the matter.

"They spent the afternoon building a great igloo in the deep snow in our backyard. My brothers and sisters played in the structure for several weeks before it began to melt. On weekend afternoons, we commonly joined hundreds of Georgetown residents for ice skating on Washington's C&O Canal, which these days rarely freezes enough to safely skate."

You know, even though Washington D.C. received a great deal of precipitation as snow this last week, it wasn't actually all that cold. Today, for instance, the daytime temperature is just around the freezing point.

The Washington C&O Canal still rarely freezes, and when it does it is considered a newsworthy event:

"You must be ready to go, at any time; the rule of thumb to be sure the ice is solid, skaters said, is to wait for at least a week of consecutive days with below-freezing temperatures. Some years, that never happens."

Even though Washington D.C. received a great deal of precipitation as snow this last week, it wasn't actually all that cold. For the most part, the daytime temperatures were hovering just a degree or two below freezing.

The upside: We are seeing the dying-out of the species in MA and in DC.

It's a beautiful thing.

BTW, I haven't pimped an Infidel post here in awhile. Check out the ClimateGate avalanche round-up:
