    Same with any plants that are clones. Not letting them to adapt to things.

    Rubber trees are the same way. If they get wiped out, there goes your tires

    I figure nearly $1000/yr extra maint and repair to our vehicles from the poor condition of the roads we drive on.

    Hwy 52 from my place to Hudson will literally beat a new car apart 4-5 yrs.

    Did you know we share 50% of our DNA with bananas?
    My Feedback
    Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
    Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
    Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."

    Did you know that 92% of statistics are just made up?

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    I think that only applies about 60% of the time though.

    60% of the time statistics that are made up are just as accurate

    And for the record, can I just say that generators, not beer, are proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

    We lost power an hour ago. Like always, it happens when there is no storm, but we've had storms in the area recently. It's always the north side of our lake that loses power. Expecting to be without for 12+ hours, as is always the case.

    We bought a generator last year (portable style) that's enough to run everything BUT the AC. We had an electrician install the mechanical lockout and breaker for it, and less than 24-hrs later, we lost power for 18-hrs. This of course, was RIGHT after we made a huge stocking-up trip to Costco, so our deep chest freezer was packed full. Lets just say, it pretty much paid for itself that one outage on groceries alone (okay, not really, but having fans and ice when its 95F+ outside is just amazing).
