careyanna that is a beautiful rose. do you know the name?

porkpal i have been saying to myself for some time that i wouldnt' be surprised if new state legislation didnt' come from this. after katrina mississippi has been removing all trees within a certain distance of power lines. that's why so many of them lost power for so long in the central and northern parts i understand. while some places did get wind damage mostly the problem was trees on the lines. everywhere at once.

texas lost over 5 billion dollars in agriculture this year i read. that is a staggering amount. there has to be a lot of hurting people all over texas. and do yall know of any local growers/ranchers who've sold out because of summer 2011?

crops just would not grow this year. sun in march and rain in april then 110. and the poor poor animals. it is sickening.

somewhere west of fort worth that i can not recall at the moment there is a man who lives in colorado but has a house in that place and also horses and pays a man to take care of them had his horses, all of 5 or 6 of them to die of thirst back in august i think. did yall hear about that? the caretakers said they were watching the horses from a distance and they were all standing and looking fine but never went to check on them up close. they had had no water for a long time. i think the caretaker lived across the street from the horse pasture.
