We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

Like living under a rock while the Hanging Gardens of Babylon bloom.  But I saw an eclipse at the beach, which is pretty cool and statistically unlikely, so I got that going for me.

Check back after the apocalypse. I don't want to commit until I know my options better.

PSA for some folks: 



Yes, I know there are sometimes practical reasons for wanting them raked up.  But sometimes, it's good to just let the slugs and earthworms do their things.

And if you just leave them you'll stand a chance of killing the grass and thus avoiding having to mow it in the Spring. Plan!

In my neck of the woods, there are few trees near lawns.  The majority line the curb and islands in the street without grass, just pine needles and now leaves.  There are also wooded areas intentionally undeveloped.

By all means, if it's necessary to rake, go ahead and rake.  I just like to see the undeveloped parts of the neighborhood stay as untouched as possible.

This  house, and a few hundred like it, was built in the late 1960s. Nothing grows wild around here without the connivance of the custodians of that piece of ground.

BUT to the west I have the Missouri River. To the east the Mississippi (Big Muddy) River. Ozarks to the south. Plenty of wild here. And 116 miles north is Hannibal, where Samuel Clemens, writing as "Mark Twain", lived when he was a boy.

Easy to get to wild here. I used volunteer at the Endangered Wolf Center just west of St. Louis. Guiding tours I'd put my back to an enclosure and talk to the guests about the African (Wild) (Painted) Hunting Dogs we had. I explained that the dogs could make a full grown deer disappear in under fifteen minutes, right down to the pelvis. I could tell how close the dogs were by the increasing panic on the faces of the guests.

"his philosophy was a mixture of three famous schools -the cynics, the stoics and the epicureans-and summed up all three of them in his famous phrase, 'you can't trust any bugger further than you can throw him, and there's nothing you can do about it, so let's have a drink.'" terry pratchett

Well, I was a chief petty officer.
