In fact, he’s built a career and a business challenging what many consider facts about livestock – that they’re bad for the planet and contribute to climate change. On the contrary, Savory says, livestock are a solution to climate change and an effective means by which to fight hunger, poverty and violence across much of the Third World.Deuce ☂http://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comBlogger27125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-19118090453556097422013-03-10T14:14:25.916-04:002013-03-10T14:14:25.916-04:00.

According to the guide, who is well known in the area for his numerous wolf sightings and a bumper sticker showing an elk with a shotgun saying <i>Kill a Wolf for Jesus</i>, it was likely the wolf was waiting for the school children to arrive (something the guide says he has witnessed hundreds of times before) but when it saw Bob it decided to attack him instead.<br /><br />According to the guide, "They always go for the weakest, the old and the lame. It's the circle of life."<br /><br />Reports are, Bob was still trying to open his container of poison when the wolf was driven off by Bob's cat which happens to be fat enough to look like a small bear. All Bob could mutter was, "Circle of life my ass. They just do it for fun of it. Look at me. Just for fun! Owwww."<br /><br />The guide said he heard Bob was recovering in a local hospital while suffering from numerous lacerations and what appearded to be porcupine quills.<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-86513362690246373062013-03-09T21:16:04.208-05:002013-03-09T21:16:04.208-05:00...and, again, unless we're willing to Nuke Ch......and, again, unless we're willing to Nuke China and India into glass, there's not a damned thing they, or we, can do about it.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-74624377174993344752013-03-09T21:13:43.405-05:002013-03-09T21:13:43.405-05:00I thought women were a rib.I thought women were a rib.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-37994729787106659432013-03-09T21:12:28.186-05:002013-03-09T21:12:28.186-05:00One is real, one is not.

(near Hearst Castle on the Central Coast)<br /><br />It never really changed, until more houses started sprouting on the coastal plains, but the hills backed by mountains stayed the same, and this was my experience each summer when my family would vacation at my grandparent's single walled, knotty pine cabin in Cambria.<br /><br />Many years later, when Sally and I were looking for rural property, we took a friend, a super high strung guy whose major in college was botany, on a drive north from Santa Barbara.<br />Especially after we drove through Morro Bay, he started having a fit about what he saw as a moonscape, which he attributed to extreme overgrazing.<br /><br />My first reaction was surprise, not because this was not obvious, but because due to my familiarity since childhood, it was all just the way it was, and had always been, all systems normal.<br /><br />After living on our farm, further back from the coast, nestled in the Los Padres National Forest, his observations became very real to me. Namely, I became intimately acquainted with the richness and diversity of life supported by the forest as compared to the near lifeless moonscape below which was the result of overgrazing by cattle and sheep.<br />I often thought of how much more healthy food could have been harvested in perpetuity from the coastal hills had they not been denuded by cattle, then sheep.<br />It could still be Venison Heaven for Ted Nugent and all the family and Vets that he feeds. <br />And deer would just be a part of the food chain, or ecosystem as all the envirorobots are wont to say. <br />Bobcats, Mountain Lion, Coons, Possum, Owls, Snakes, Newts, the list is endless.<br /><br />Instead, there is nearly lifeless, sunbleached, light brown dirt.<br />End of rant, Part I.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.com
