• A gardener's myth destroyed: Watering plants in mid-day does not cause water droplets to focus the Sun's rays and burn the leaves.
• At Smart Dogs: how dogs react to perfume. (One word: vetiver.)
• Field & Stream columnist and hunting writer Tom McIntyre now writes a blog (yes, the technology has reached northern Wyoming). I liked this entry on old, hunter-friendly hotels. Back in its day, the Fairplay Hotel in South Park (Colorado) was one of them.
• Galen Geer is thinking that Amtrak could still be more hunter-friendly too. It's a creature of the federal government, so how come it gets to make such arbitrary rules?
I thought it was cool that the dogs loved vetiver. It's one of my favorite scents too.
ReplyDeleteAnd RE Amtrak: Seems to me that being a creature of the government and making arbitrary rules are pretty much synonymous these days!

ReplyDeleteLuisa, I run Firefox with a couple of protective add-ons, and I have received no warnings on Tom's blog.
ReplyDeleteBut sometimes I do get warnings when commenting on Blogspot blogs that I know are perfectly safe.
Sometimes the software ain't perfect.
