It's no wonder Asher is so jealous.

WHY DON'T THE UNDESIRABLES MOVE FROM D.C. TO CALIFORNIA? While I do not mean to imply that HOMELESS PEOPLE HAVE MUCH OF A CHOICE IN WHERE THEY LIVE, the vast majority have working legs and thumbs and can bum rides across country, and therefore live where they do by choice. This is what happened during the Gold Rush and if people could do it with carriages then, they can do it with shopping carts today.

Calgary bought bus tickets to send the homeless to Vancouver.

I'm not sure Asher will be jealous. He may have no concept of warm weather or nice beaches. He is in the frozen wastelands of Alberta you know.

BTW Nice pics

He's not in the frozen wastelnads part of Mordor. I am in the frozen wastelands. He is in chinook country. Either that or the heat from Mount Doom makes it warmer on average.

BTW these bastards smell like rotting fish but all the Canadian tourists seem to love them.



Maybe we can get one of the Canadian tourists to club them or something.

I smell of rotting fish yet for some reason women don't think I'm cute. You just can't win

[Dinner]

Maybe if you put on a fur coat and spent your days laying on the beach?

[MRT144]

I actually do not understand why anyone likes beaches. They're not even all that pretty. They're pretty mundane. Sand on one side, water on the other. Excuse me while I cream myself.

Sand also gets in all kind of inconvenient places.

Whats wrong with sex in the shower?

Closest thing people in San Diego have to wildlife is a soccer mom in a Suburban.

We do have these roaming around the deserts of east county.



We have a plague of these that someone needs to shoot.



These are technically not native but a bunch of them roam wild in North County. The bison were originally brought to Santa Catalina island in the 1920's-1950's so Hollywood could use them as props in western movies and then they just left them on the island. In the 1980's the state department of forestry wanted to shoot them all because they were an invasive species which was damaging the island's environment but animal rights folks protested so loudly they decided to relocate the animals, first to the local zoo, and later to Camp Pendleton in North County. The problem is their numbers just keep growing and they wander off the base on to ranch land or even in to people's front yards.

This is another nonnative species found every where yet for some reason hunting permits are hard to get from the state. They love to hide out in the suburbs and eat the bulbs people planted in their gardens.



Then there is the smaller stuff like turkeys, raccoons, skunks, and what not running around so it's not like there isn't any wild life around here. In fact we have a fair bit.

[Asher]

No.

[Dinner]

These things are out of control too.

Some of the local citrus farmers have complained because apparently some of the estimated 20,000 or so wild turkeys in the county have taken to eating valuable oranges and grapefruit. I guess the turkeys have good tastes.

[Asher]

Oh how badass.

[Supr49er]

The only badass animals to me are rattlesnakes. We have way too many of them.

Pay my airfare and I'll club any random local wildlife to death for you.


Clubbing helpless evil wildlife.

[Dinner]

The other day I was stopped at a red light and the pickup truck in front of me had a bumper sticker which read: "Help a local fisherman, club a seal."

[The Mad Monk]

I understand a lot of goats got clubbed on I-5.

[Dinner]

As they should be.
