The Buddha said, "My doctrine is to think the thought that is unthinkable, to practice the deed that is non-doing, to speak the speech that is inexpressible, and to be trained in the discipline that is beyond discipline. Those who understand this are near, those who are confused are far.it's nice to know that my little blog is having such an impact on local and world events...consider this: after posting my golf related experiences and opinions about it being a girls sport, Tiger's wife beats him up! maybe because he's not a member at Birnam?
next, after blasting the News-Press Holiday Fund for soliciting money for wealthy nonprofits Santa Barbara Natural History Museum and the Audubon Society, Scott Steepleweighsaton writes a front page story to promote the bird cage project to do some damage control...gee Scott, what's it like to have Wendy cut your balls off?
Sarah Palin stopped to dine with Billy Graham..I tell ya, these crazy evangelicals are bad for America..Graham is the biggest con artist I've ever seen and Sarah seeking him out for religious/spiritual advice maketh want to lie down in green pastures with her and give some real bible thumping...
man, News-Press letter writers are dumb!! A guy named William Lockwood claims that alcohol is safer than pot and reasons that the natives lost the Western Hemisphere to European settlers because the Indians smoked pot and the settlers drank beer!! dumb as dog doodoo
Many dog lovers are in denial about their pooches' leavings. But researchers have named the idea that areas used by dogs pump more bacteria into waterways - the "Fido hypothesis."
Dogs are only one of many fixtures of suburban America that add to water pollution. Lawn fertilizers, rinse water from driveways and motor oil commonly end up in streams and lakes.
But unlike those sources, dogs generate disease-causing bacteria that can make people sick. Studies done
in the last few years put dogs third or fourth on the list of contributors to bacteria in contaminated waters. "Dogs are one of our usual suspects," says Valerie Harwood, a microbiologist at the University of South Florida. "At certain sites, we find their effect to be significant."
It doesn't take a Ph.D. to figure out that dog do is nasty. But it took science to determine how nasty it is.
From mutt to blue-blooded champion, all dogs harbor so-called coliform bacteria, which live in the gut. The group includes E. coli, a bacterium that can cause disease, and fecal coliform bacteria, which spread through feces. Dogs also carry salmonella and giardia. Environmental officials use measurements of some of these bacteria as barometers of how much fecal matter has contaminated a body of water.
In San Diego. The city spent roughly $10,000 on extra trash cans, nagging signs and plastic "mutt mitts" at its Dog Beach, where the surf was closed to swimmers 125 times in 2007!
so be sure to pick up after your pests!!

Wendy neutered Steepleton long ago. He was scared of Dr. Laura -- she got away with almost anything she wanted in her column. Staffers used to joke that she was the most powerful employee not in the building.
