The fact that canines have been selectively bred for ten thousand years and are still just dogs makes one skeptical about genetic engineering. The cool thing about dingos is they went BACK.

   I don't know what to do about my yard. I tend to lag behind my neighbors in manicuring, and in most respects it looks like a Fellini Day Care center. May be building a teepee this summer. But the mosquitoes get to be unbearable with too much of the growth, the bushes, the asian trees--I'm beating it back now.

One good thing about some grass is it firms up the dirt so when it rains it's not all puddles of mud. Some area are all ivy, grow slower, look good, but it doesn't want to spread anymore. I only used a reel mower for many years but broke down and bought an electric--the yard's really a little too big, too many rainy days and it was unmowable.

   Ask God about the mosquitoes, somebody. What's the idea?
