    Backyard grassers must have come to the sale.

    I remember the busy city streets of chicago were covered in salt every year. On the south side we did a lot of pulling and pushing cars for people in need. Things rusted away..... even my bicycle was rusty in 2-3 years.

    Summer Sausage

    Show them to me..... whoa, slow down pilgrim. I'm not Rodney Carrington! No, for real, have pics, of it? I have never had deer processed. Always cleaned what ever I have harvested. I miss out on a lot because we take the backstraps and some stew meat, jerky etc, grind the rest. Never made...

    Update on HPAI Detection in Kansas, Texas Dairy Herds

    Because without gain of function research, none of this would be possible.

    Animal behavior and eclipse

    Last one I saw was while stationed in Germany a little over 20 years ago. Dark enough to have the streetlights come on during lunch.
