Yep, Spring is almost here

Good lord is it beautiful here today. Mid 60s, sunny, breezy, incredible cloudy sky, and tons and tons of trees having sex in our noses...

Ha-ha-haaaaa.  Deserves a belly laugh.  Will steal.

Thanks on the pesticide info, Bogie and BobR.

I've got about half a liter of the stuff I bought in like the early nineties for something and it's been floating along with me since then.

 Every time I come across it under the kitchen sink, I say "Oh, *expletive deleted*it, I gotta get rid of this" but I scaredy-catty decide to postpone it.

Aftert two big paragraphs full of dire warnings, the instructions say to dispose of an empty or partially full container, you should wrap it in severals layers of newpaper and dispose of it in the trash.

Maaaannnn, am I uncomfortable with that idea.

Speaking of pesticides...

When we cleaned out my Grandfather's garage after he died in 1982 we found a big, crusty, nasty gallon jug, the kind that vinegar used to come in, full of DDT oil.

My G-d !  You could hold the whole earth hostage with that!

"I want ten billion in small bills left by the water fountain in Sczlanik Park in Budapest at noon tomorrow or I'll spill this in the street  I'll be watching.  Don't call the cops or Greenpeace!"

I've often tossed it back and forth in my head as to how many people ultimately died as a result of the publication of "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson.
