See? Careful consideration by credentialed government officials will, eventually, answer even the most tricky of ontological questions. Like for instance, when is a runway actually a coal mine?
And yet silly bitterclingery bitterclingers and their conspiracy-minded Hobbit feet think the federal government is too big and the administrative state far too powerful — without any constitutional authority for even having, much less wielding, such power.
Dear bitterclingery bitterclinger Hobbit cockroaches — NOBODY GIVES A SHIT IF YOU THINK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS TOO BIG OR TOO INVASIVE!
(thanks to John B)
I would call this unbelievable but I’ve seen to much of it already. My gob can no longer be smacked.
Come over a little closer and I’ll test that assumption for you.
Gallup today: Romney 52, Obama 45.
This is the sort of lunacy I like to think he’ll stop.
Grundy! They used to produce magnificent high school wrestling teams (circa ’66 – 71), year after year after year. Musta had ’em a great coach teacher down there back in the day.
Bear in mind that the project involves two counties, a municipality, and an economic development commission, backed up with support from state legislators. If the Feds won’t let these guys act, what chance do any of us have?
Keep whistling in the dark, America. Cause it sure ain’t getting lighter, and I think there’s a grue in here.
– Try to throw my wife under the bus huh, well
KABOOM!
and I think there’s a grue in here.

I can’t even take that, from Clinton, at face value. The guy is a near-pathological liar, and I’d check outside before believing him tell me the sky is blue.
– Clinton is what he is, not even close to Progressive. He’s an old fashioned Southern Democrat, where you don’t get elected dog catcher unless you lie like a Tijuana cab driver.
– He lied in that interview back before the Libya betrayal against his wife. He knows Obama has failed and he knows exactly why. In that interview he kept coming back to private investment, but didn’t say what he also knows, that no one is going to invest in a Socialist run government, something he turned away from early in his presidency, paying it lip service to placate his Leftwing base.
– He knows government can’t do shit, and nothing will change until the hard Left is out of power. Before Obama back stabbed Hillary he was willing to lie for the team.
– Not anymore.
A parasite that destroys it’s host is not a very smart parasite.
Clinton is not that parasite.
What happens if they just build the fucking runway?
hf good ?
The hollar north-northeast of the end of the present runway will be filled in and the newly laid runway will end alongside of the dead-end Cripple Creek Rd. there. S’about it. New shaped earth.
I will tell you later about my quest for the elusive pawpaw
Good, I’d like to hear.
They might have to plow down a pawpaw tree to build that runway though. Hadn’t thought of that.
the pawpaw trees grow nigh on forty foot is some knowledge I had put on me today
over here Paw Paw, WV
And “Larvae of the zebra swallowtail (Eurytides marcellus), a butterfly, feed exclusively on young leaves of Asimina triloba and various other pawpaw (Asimina) species, but never occur in great numbers on the plants. Chemicals in the pawpaw leaves confer protection from predation throughout the butterfly’s life, as trace amounts of acetogenins remain present, making them unpalatable to birds and other predators.” it says there in the wiki thinger.
I think Paw Paw is the hometown of the frontman for Asleep at the Wheel.
Ok here is where I went to find me a pawpaw

This place is very special it’s on hwy 61 south of viI had a tomato sammich and some sweet corn but they have lots og
Crap i hate this phone it can’t make the comments I try later on the tablet but check out the pic
Did do, and the streetside GoogleEarth as well. Cajun boiled peanuts galore. Nice lookin’ place.
Yes the peanuts should be a bigger thing than they are… but anyway this place is also a produce stand… i got some crab apples and persimmons for snacks.. but the thing is, the guy what runs the place has been in the roadside produce biz since he graduated from his pre-segregation highschool. (Vicksburg didn’t desegregate til like 1971.) So if anybody in these parts knows from pawpaws it’s him. But he said he didn’t know anything abou this mysterious fruit.
Here is a video about his peanuts though

*about* this mysterious fruit i mean
You gonna go by the Old River Lock control area down near Morgana?
za
Maybe … not sure yet… gonna head west and then drop south to lake charles and then go as far south as i can down hwy 1, then back to mississippi, mostly avoiding new orleans best i can
I don’t really have a plan
Fix on some Zapps while you down there.
I don’t really have a plan
ooh outlaw
I had some in texas! But i’m really trying hard not to eat eat eat my way across america… what’s even more nourishing is how often i get to hear silence. You never ever ever get to hear that in ny la chicago. Today i surprised some deers walking through this civil war cemetery what had the spanish moss and all… my camera was dead so i’m a go back tomorrow and make a hike out of it… but there aren’t a lot of people out and about is what i’m finding
i get to hear silence.
you get to hear nature no?
Yes but sometimes even nature has a lull
That usually means there is a storm a brewin
to your ear it has a lull. to quote dan rather “what is the frequency “? :)
A parasite that destroys its host is not a very smart parasite.
They figure they’re strangler figs, who wrap their tendrils around the host tree and slowly cut off the flow of minerals and sugars through the bark. The tree eventually dies, and the fig stands alone as a woven column, its leaves high in the canopy after the host tree did all the heavy lifting.
But they’re not strangler figs: they might climb to great heights on the host tree, but when the host dies, they die too, because they’re too weak to live in their own.
Maybe they’re like Indian Paintbrushes—root parasites that cannot be transplanted because you’d have to also transplant whatever plants the flower is parasitizing. Kill the host plant, kill the Indian Paintbrush.

I really want to see these things now
First I ever heard of it was in that control of nature book by John McPhee.
Ha, I didn’t read down in your link to see that McPhee piece was already linked up there. It’s good.
HF, if you happen to pass through a certain town in Desha County, Arkansas, let me know if it’s still there.
I still haven’t had a chance to go there. Planned to last year but the Tuscaloose tornado and some Mississippi River flooding got in the way. Went to the Smokies instead.
Already did arkansas i hiked in the ouachita national forest and ate lunch in mt. Ida and hiked hot springs and ended up snapping a pic of crazy grandpa’s house in el dorado… and a few other hiking things but i went to summer camp in the ozarks for a lot of years so i felt like i didn’t need to linger around there
Everyone said i had to go to clinton library but i’d gone to the lbj one on the way and it was such a nauseating lovesong to big government i ended up just spending some time on ladybird and then cutting it short
Google maps still has your town there… i didn’t even get close
‘Salright. Just thought if you were going through Mississippi you might cross westward in the vicinity. Guess I’ll just have to make the plans again and hope there aren’t more floods or another tornado super-outbreak.
My wife agreed to the plans last year because the route would take us by Mississippi State, where she’s getting her master’s in an online program. And their football team is undefeated so far this year.
They’ll be taking on Middle Tennessee State this Saturday for homecoming. I expect all PWers to watch on ESPN2 at 5pm MDT (7 Eastern, 4 Pacific) and root for the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs should handle the Midget Hilljacks quite easily, I think.
“Don’t get cocky,” said … somebody. We need people watching and rooting for our guys.
