 Good Morning Everyone,finally, it has cooled down - seems as if the worst is over now. Still not enough rain, so Germany pretty much looks like Utah.Zoe, make that a bucket of coffee, for me, and a breakfast bagel to munch on, thank you!I tend to forget, how much wildlife you folks over the Big Pond "enjoy". Not much around in our neck of the woods. Maybe that´s why most of the gophers, varmints, pests are now protected animals, much to chagrin of our farmers. And whenever the state wants to build a new road, a rare, nearly extinct animal shows up, stopping the venue and taking the "greens" onto the streets in protest marches. Hunting and fishing requires a license, for which you not only have to pass a test, but you also have to rent the area where you want to hunt. It is very much restricted and extremely costly. Hunting used to be a privilege of the noble, now it is a privilege of the rich. My FIL was a hunter and he spent the better part of his income on his hobby. His family didn´t have to starve, but there was little money left for little "extras". I´d rather stay with model railroading [:D]Another day - let´s see, what´s in the bag for us today!
