    mice in portc?

    LOL Yes there certainly are . It's the voles however,Meadow- (M. pennsylvanicus (Specterus?;D)) and Boreal Redback - (Clethrionomys gapperi) be-bop-o-ing through the lilies and the tulips that cause much consternation . ( Did I really expect the PINK trumpets to be PERFECTION ?) . In the upcoming SBOWL ( Small Mammal Bowl) , it's the cries of "Win one for the gapper!" that will be heard most often . A 1/4 lb of Gyp seed? The babies will be breathing on the whole county. Gonna bale that stuff?

    Wish the politicians were like your seed ; labeled properly, plant 'em , and you get like the pretty picture on the packet . Alas, they are more like my daylily seedlings; you start out with an idea of what you want , but it takes several years to find out what you got . Most will be just like the source of what spawned 'em, some will be better , a few more will be worse, one in a thousand will be special, and a keeper, and there will be more than a few voles , digging in the dirt, unseen , devouring the roots of democracy .

    Took a stab at the Sisyphysean rock of flipping Harry Reid . Was going to copy it here , but the spammer-jammer b@$#&$ locked me up . Couldn't even copy it to "Notepad" . Don't have the "umph" to redo it now . Will do it Sun pm .
