You used to live in India. My guess is that you saw reports of elephants killing people and then getting killed. That's pretty much what happened in Honolulu. I think white rats are cute and wild rats are interesting, not scary. Elephants? I don't trust 'em.

You know you are off to a good start with aspiring immigrants when they
bypass the immigration process and enter the country illegally or ignore
visa limitations. We have an issue in Canada now with hundreds of
illegal immigrants crossing the border in the middle of nowhere to take
advantage of a loophole. We have a third safe country agreement that
would deny entry to asylum seekers coming from the US.
 
The people coming across had asylum in the US, but, thanks to that goof
in the oval office threatening to send them home, they decided to look
for asylum in Canada. A lot of self righteous Canadians are happy to
have them and think they are coming here because we are nicer. Those
people should be reminded that those people had chosen the US first, and
the only reason they are interested in US is that the US turned cold to
them.

My feeling is that if someone is willing to walk a couple of thousand miles to get here, they've got what it takes to be an American citizen. :)

The EU made Europe a kumbaya land for Eurasia and Africa. Break in once
and commit other crimes everywhere. We have that too. The EU is paying
for it now, and so are we.
Why don't you go home? I hear hookers advertise in storefront windows,
and there's stonerland, aka used to be parks, right where you were
born. What keeps you an expat?
What part of a country's sovereign borders don't people get? What makes
anyone think that defending their borders from aliens is inhuman? There
are legal ways to be in a country. Is that so hard to grasp?

These people aren't walking. They take a bus or a taxi to a road that
ends at the border and they walk across and are signed up for welfare.

But I never said I'm for illegal immigration. I'm not. I emigrated to
Australia legally :) It helped that I'm married to an Australian.
She's also the reason that I'm still here. Oh and I really like the
country.
 
Stonerland? You mean pot's legal in the Netherlands? It has been for
many, many years. And I'm not really into hookers. They don't pay me
enough :)

I should have skipped my second paragraph. Do you have anything against
the first and third? I won't mention expat again. I actually get that.
Post something about toasted spinifex in a garden salad. Take a photo
of your cattle station. You know, something besides bon mots.

No, I have nothing against your first and third paragraph. I'm for
helping genuine refugees. Innnocent people who risk being bombed and
who are on the run. That's just the right thing to do. It doesn't
necessarily mean you have to take them all in though.
 
Maybe I'll try witchetty grubs soon. If I do I'll take a picture.

season is nearly 9 months a year like I said it froze as in below 32
f or 0c for only a couple of days this year.. below 45 for maybe a
week and a half below 50 for like 2 weeks below 65 for about a 2
months

West of Texas you have to say on the menu what kind of ribs. But
they still usually don't. Because most BBQ restaurants were started
mostly by Southeasterners and not from Texas. They look at you
funny if you ask what kind of ribs. They say either "spares" or
"back". And you respond, "from what ANIMAL!?". And it goes
something that sounds like "From a pig, dumbass". And then you say,
"because you couldn't ever figure out how to smoke beef"
 
FTR, I've been asking "what kind" even before I lived in Texas.
Beef is much harder to get consistently right. Pork, easy.
 
I know the guy (Vietnames) who just opened up the first Texas style
BBQ restaurant in Vietnam. It's a Central Texas Style BBQ - beef.
And that whole country is pork and chicken.

You would not. It was very mild. One thing about living here is the
ability to get fresh oranges and these have a mild flavor.
 
There is a Tropicana plant about 15 miles from us. I often see large
bump trucks loaded with oranges headed to the plant. Plenty of groves
around.

That may be but they weren't there on Wed. and I'm not driving back just for

What I meant was... You have to place a minimum order for free shipping. I
don't need anything else now so won't order. And... The price for those are
cheaper at other stores.

I have had turkey bacon. It's not bad - as long as you don't expect it to be anything like turkey or bacon. It reminds me of meat-like material meant for emergency use similar to Spam. As a matter of fact, you can make something similar to turkey bacon by cutting Spam into thin slices and frying it up until crispy.

Yes! They really do eat yogurt and want it in their lunchboxes! "Home

A serving of Nutella has a weight of 37g of which, 21g is sugar. I have read reports that Nutella is 60 percent sugar. That basis for my calculation is the average of 60% and 56.8%, which comes out to "nearly 60 percent."
 
What numbers are you using - or are you guessing?

I would do that but I already offloaded the black sunflower seeds into
3 galvanized buckets,, so they are full.

my thyme always makes it through the winter in pots on the deck. It
is pretty hardy. This last year I had one plant that was ratty and
dead looking. I cut it down to the crown, dug it out of the pot and
put it in a pot of new soil. It took off gangbusters. Even with the
thyme that is planted in beds I need to cut the plants way back in the
spring. The advantage/disadvantage of being in a bed is that the
thyme plants easily self seed and come up beneath the arms of the
parent plant. Oregano overwinters easily as well.
