Have you taken advantage of this relatively mild August weather?
Asked at The Merc, 901 Iowa on August 26, 2009
“Every second I can. I’ve played Frisbee golf, barbecued with my husband and friends, and just sat outside, chilled and read a book.”
“I have been playing a lot of golf.”
“I’ve missed out on it because I’ve spent most of my time in the mountains in Colorado.”
“Yes, I try to walk a lot and I am enjoying not watering my garden so much.”

I would never act like a cad and take advantage of Mother Nature. It's a mutual thing...

autie Unless your native treaties signed for land sessions allows natives to graze their live stock on any unused lands private, or unowned properties. As long as they are not being used. I hope your native. If not get a native to buy one, and keep it on your property. There is nothing the city, county, or state could do.

"why do some folks have to put a political slant on everything. including a thread about weather."
I've started to think that maybe it might be a muscle memory thing. The fingers just move in familiar patterns on their own from time to time.

...other than the discussion over which type of goat is acceptable within city limits, at what point did people get political prior to your post, Mel?
Overreact much?
That being said, if this is global warming, sign me up! Way to go Big Al! Better make some more private jet flights around the world to talk about how we all need to cut back on our fossil fuel consumption!
There, now you can overreact!

Darn it. I always get centrifugal confused with centripetal.
Mel Briscoe 3 years, 8 months ago
all that jibber jabber sounded political'ish to me, b3x. on the topic of "have you been enjoying this nice weather?" i would think that the answers would be simplistic and succinct. anything more than an "uh huh..... nice outside lately" is too much.

It has been another year without a summer. No bike rides, no swimming, no shorts or sandals, bleah. Now it's September and I have to wait another nine months for a chance for decent weather.

No offense, Mel, but you must be new to the forums. Simplistic and succinct answers don't exist here. Every comment is laced with the political and moral leanings of each poster. In the case of Merill's cut and pastes, "laced" might be an understatement!
...but if it makes you feel better...
We've taken the opportunity during these cooler temperatures to get some extra yard work done.

/no clue what was political in this thread. - T_O_B
autie sharing a bowl with the municipal court judge is what was political. Influence peddling...

autie, You need to get a Dexter cow. 50% the size, but 75% the meat of a normal breed, and just enough milk production for the family. No need for a bull, just buy sperm straws and keep them in your liquid nitrogen dewar flask.
