Benjamin Franklin’s admonition made over 200 years ago when he said, “Security and freedom are not the same thing… in fact just the opposite. The more security you seek, the less freedom you have. The people with the most security are in jail. That’s why they call it maximum security.”

Skeeve? a new word for me.
And WHOA what a large worm! I've heard of hornworms but had no idea they were so BIG!
I'm not easily "skeeved out", but that just might do it!

My Turkeys love to go through the garden and pick off the Japanese beatles. Now if they would leave the newly sprouting corn alone,I'd be happy.
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

No chickens allowed here in our town either. I would have them in a heartbeat if it was legal.
