Yikes! Snake Attacks Motorcycle!
Wow! In this video a motorcycle and its rider are attacked by a snake sunning in the road. It's clear in the video that this snake meant business.
Questions of the day: Something's not right about Patty, why are the soles of her feet white?
Kittalia A. sent us the following questions about Patty, the Bigfoot in the Patterson-Gimlin film. They are all very good questions that we we wish we knew the answers to. We're no "Henry May" and it's times like this that we wish we had his number. Since we don't have Henry around whenever we need him, here are some easy questions for all you Patterson-Gimlin believers to try and answer:
I've worked on some farms all around the country, California included, and have to say very few are built for highly intense resource conservation. The main strategy is output for obvious reasons. The extent of water conservation is typically using drip line irrigation which can be very good, but almost no farms are using mulching to prevent rapid evaporation from the soil surface. Not only does mulching prevent a lot of evaporation and promote water retention, it prevents weeds from forming and breaks down into awesome organic matter for the plant to eat. It does a whole bunch of other neat things but since we are talking water I'll keep it limited.
ReplyDeleteMy main point is, lots of farms are still using VERY BASIC farming techniques that are heavily reliant on a ton of water. From a ground level there are a lot of things you can do to improve how water is stored and used that isn't high tech at all. We are always looking for the next technological solution (I've heard fusion mentioned, de-salination) but we already have great options in front of us we aren't utilizing.
I have it on good authority that Bigfoot endorses water conservation and mulching.
