Govt. too big?

yeah, I like that idea. I compost everything except fruit (including tomatoes.) I found that fruit in the compost bin creates way too many fruit flies. You can make a simple trap to catch them with just some apple cider vinegar and dishwashing liquid. But it's better to just trash fruit. And don't feed it to your worms or you will have so many fruit flies you can hardly see your trading screen at night, because they will be all over it.

Lol, this is a weird forum for such a mention, and even weirder that I totally understand you. We have three compost piles going: a commercial bin about 50 feet from the house that gets kitchen scraps (no meat) and will draw many, many flies if we're not careful about fruit (or we forget to add leaves). The second is a grass/leaf pile (I layer this one, like lasagna, and spike it with composting bacteria), which only attracts earthworms and mice, about 150 feet from the house. Finally, a brush pile, now roughly 30 x 12 x 8 FT, which attracts only mice and certain birds. I've never seen the compost at the bottom of the brush pile, but given its age there must be some good stuff there, too.

Oh, we toss the meat and bone scraps out in the grain field, for the coyotes. I once threw a half gallon blob of ice cream out there. Next day I went to look at it, and it was completely gone, not a trace, not a stain, nothing. Wish I had put a time-lapse camera on it, would have been cool to see how many types of critters came and consumed it. : )

Anyway, back to politics and religion.
 
Now the electronic files of what happened to $6 billion of missing funds within the state dept while Hillary Clinton was sec of state have gone missing.


"Is this now the fourth instance of significant electronically stored information having conveniently gone missing inside a major government agency? (1) The Department of Justice’s Fast & Furious operation. (2) The IRS scandal. (3) The Department of State’s Benghazi episode. And now this: (4) “contract files” representing $6,000,000,000 of Department of State expenditures are missing in part, or are completely missing."--Americanthinker.com

Would do the same if I had the land. Problem is, here in Florida the plots are much closer and the stuff it would attract would bring snakes and the like (looking for the rodents). Neighbors would not be pleased, and I wouldnt' either as these critters would end up in my lanai and swimming in my pool.

Shot two cotton mouths this summer at the edge of my lawn and lake. One was as big as my wrist.

Fortunately, the only critter I had to put out of it's misery was an armadillo. They were digging under the cement slab that holds my AC units. I used my pellet gun (about 1200 fps) with metal tipped pellets. One shot, one kill - hit right below the base of the skull. Then, with gloves (because the bastards carry all sorts of crap), you have to put some of the blood in the hole so it freaks the others (if there are others) from coming back. Then pour this crap from home depot you can get (smells awful) into the hole and fill it up. They never come back.

They literally dig feet under my house. Haven't been able to catch one, but did have a few cans of that expanding foam that hardens. After spraying that stuff in the hole, it's never been back-to that spot, lol. And yes, half carry leprosy.:eek:
And funny, you've got two a/c units as well. Gotta love Florida, lol!
Just be glad you didn't face down a moccasin like thirst one I shot (was told was a female, as they're extremely fat, lol) other was a male, from what I was told, and was 4'. Got both at mating season. Yes, was pure luck as I was having that area of the lawn at lake (pond? lol!) edge sodded up to my fence. Last, please don't tell rectum I have a lake or pond near me, for obvious reasons.:eek::D
