Are YOU a Tootle Puffer??

I just wanna know how the Pheasant crop is doin'

Not too many pheasants around here. They hang out in the wheatfields farther south, although there are some just a few miles north of us, and the pheasants THERE are thick. But there's nothing for 10 miles all around us (oh, maybe it's 20 miles, Rich can tell you better than I can) but grass and cows. We DO get some nice wild turkeys, though!

We have nothing but natural prairie grass for about a 30 mile radius and the pheasants don't seem to like that. We occasionally get the odd lost one stop in here on his way to somewhere else, and, as Lannie said, a goodly number of wild turkeys passing through (we don't have a creek or pond on our property or they would live here). The pheasants start north of us about 30 miles from here where the local farmers grow sunflowers and wheat. To the south, it's nearly 100 miles (as the pheasant flies, 200 by road). If you can find the town of Winner on a map, that is the pheasant capital of the state. Out of staters buy up property there to use for just a couple weeks out of the year - for pheasant hunting.

Cicada Mania: Cicada Insects, Life Cycle, 17 & 13 Year Cicadas

I looked at that, and checked the 'where and when' table, but it doesn't explain to me why we have them EVERY year. If July went by without cicada song, I'd think the world really was coming to an end.

There are different species of Cicadas with different life cycles. And some mutate I suppose or climatic conditions cause their life cycles to vary somewhat?

I drove most of the way cross-country and back; South Dakota eastbound was like a 200-mile 7% grade. Felt like I could tie down the steering wheel, pop into neutral and just take a nap until I rolled into Minnesota!

You must have been cruising I-90. If you drive U.S. 212 (in memory of the good old days), you might have had 3 or 4 corners in that long stretch.

Thought I recognized that name. My mother was raised in Armour, and her sister's family later moved to Wagner.

Lol - nice to know! Cool! So is that the temp of the mod or room temperature? - because now it's reading 25C

It's the temp inside the mod..... Which should be room temp until you start using it

Don't even need to use the upload button if the pic file is small enough... Just drag and drop the image icon into the text box.... Does the rest automatically for you

I never liked being in drag.

The drag, maybe not, but the drop man! the drop is always so thrilling.

I've just finished watching Wayward Pines (Fox Productions) - has anyone seen it. Sheesh that plot has more holes in it than Swiss cheese.

I found the end confusing if not downright mystifying.

I am not sure we are referring to the same thing here?

Does that matter? I doubt we are every talking about the same thing on this thread.

Well the ending was less puzzling to me - "the new generation" took over and froze all the adults. What was more implausible was the beginning. Pilcher goes to Boise (which still existed) to tell the Secret Service Chief (in 2014) that Ethan was not co-operating when it was supposed to be 4028 and the chief was supposed to have been long dead (as seen later in the bunker videos).

Yeah.. that's why i couldn't figure out at first if that time thing was real, or a gigantic scam for whatever reason. I thought it was an experiment for a long time... but the end... Ethan was one who actually saved them all, yet he's hated? And that megalomaniac Pilcher enshrined??? Say what???

Nope matters not to me as I am mostly clueless anyway. And kinda prefer it that way.

Well Ethan didn't save "the new Generation" - they were in the Ark that Pilcher provided for them... and Ethan killed their saviour, so he was a bad guy. In the end there are no adults, it's just the kids. I guess the show tried to save itself with a philosophical comment about human nature in the end.
