    But that number presumes you're covering the entire aquifer, which would be impossible even if you had the money.

    Yep, you'd get some diminished returns, and would get better bang for your buck in certain places - but you'd only need a majority of the acreage to get decent results.

    Probably less. My goal would be to depopulate a region 30-40 miles wide, across 3-4 states, except for major highways that would cross it, preferably elevated in several places, and the service roads to the turbines. Then continually add more and more turbines to generate revenue to buy more property land and lengthen / widen the refuge over time.

    One day last week, 4-year-old Yanelly Zoller reached into her grandmother's purse looking for candy, her father says.

    Instead, she found a gun. She accidently pulled the trigger and was shot in the chest.

    Shane Zoller, 22, is the father of three children: one living, another on the way and the little girl he will bury today.

    "She just wanted some damn candy," Zoller said Wednesday.

    Tampa police are still investigating, but said they have no reason to doubt the story.

    The incident happened Sept. 14 at the North Tampa home of Michael and Christie Zoller, who are Yanelly's grandparents.


    On related news, the gun is safe and being cuddled by her owners...

    ....and talking about bison.

    First wild Bison spotted in Germany in 250 years.

    So they shot it.

    "Police say a man spotted the bison near the Oder River in Lebus, a town nearly 88km east of Berlin, on 13 September, The Local reports.

    WWF Germany said local officials determined the creature to be a threat to the safety of the community and order the bison to be killed."

    Edit: immaculate conception or did it have parents???

    I would laugh but this happened in the US as well. Very close to where I grew up too.

    First cougar* seen in Kentucky since Civil War is killed. I would venture there are some in the Red River Gorge

    *Ashley Judd doesn't count here. We are talking about Puma concolor couguar

    I've climbed there plenty...Muir valley, lower valley etc etc.

    These animals are more wary/scared of you than you are of them. I doubt you are going to look down and see your belay partner being carried off by one of these big cats. Besides there are way more climbers there making commotion. If they are there, they are in the remote areas.

    Muir is too resort type for me, but Jesus Wept looks good. Have you been to Miller Fork at all? Some of my friends put up routes there. I'm currently working on some stuff at PMRP too.

    Re: animals. Oh yeah. I'm aware they tend to be more afraid of us. I have heard rumors of wildcats in the area though.

    This took place within 100 yards of our house. They forgot to mention the coyotes though.

    Cougar, bear sightings increase around Florence

    Agencies advise extra safety precautions for residents, pets

    The woman woke up, got out of bed, looked outside her window and was greeted with pure horror: her cat hung from the teeth of a cougar.

    As she ran outside with her dog to scare it off, another cougar jumped off the roof and took the dog.

    This is the NRA thread, right? Why didn't the cat and dog have guns to defend themselves?

    Dear Ms. Betsy DeVos,
    United States Secretary of Education

    In view of the recent sightings of bears and cougars in our school district, we commend your wisdom and support your proposed measure to allow guns in our schools.

    The parents and children of the Siuslaw School district cannot wait for the US department of Education guidelines on proper protocol for Open Carry in our Schools.

    Best regards,

    Andy Grzeskowiak
    Superintendent
    Siuslaw School District 97J




    Just in case, that's fake news!!!

    Only 3 were shot (2 killed), so not quite a mass shooting.

    But this caught my attention:

    Police said it took several hours to identify the gunman on CCTV, as several other armed citizens drew their weapons when gunfire broke out.

    Thornton Police Department spokesman Victor Avila said: "We had to be able to discern what exactly was going on - whether that was a suspect or whether that was a citizen truly worried about what was going on at the sound of gunshots".

    That is exactly what I heard directly from a police officer talking about school shootings (and those who are licensed to carry). Don't pull out your gun because the police have not information other than "shots fired." Not to mention that all those people who had guns were not able to do anything to stop the guy from shooting and leaving...which he did casually.
