Banana Slugs don't have shells and truly anybody who would eat a slug would also eat a snail. yuch.

Why I had to look them up??? Now I don't know what is worse... banana slugs or big Cambodian millipedes... ugh... At least the first ones are not poisonous.

What have critters got to do with the weather? or am I missing something?

Thinking about it I know most of you are missing something! Which I am not or at least not yet!

About roads, no, it's pretty much the same everywhere someone important lives/goes. The roads are always nice there.

Actually several animals will tell the schooled observer the likely weather for the winter. A lot of it depends on the area you live but the critters will give you a gauge.

I guess if I went out more, instead of sitting at this computer I might see the animals that you are talking about! I did see an amazing thing in my garden last year a young deer was on the lawn and there were 3 neighbouring cats playing tag with it. It was so amazing to see, I tried to sneak back to the house to get a camera and then they were gone. It was like something from Disney and I was not on drugs (promise!)

Ditto that !

Add observations of one's garden and Phytons (plant people) around you.

The temperature flirts with 80F along the shoreline, a little cooler up on my bluff.

The dry heat is suppose to peak on Wednesday then drift back down.

It is more of an atmospheric influence then a Santa Anna wind event. The air is pretty still.

No rain in the extended weather forecast.

Water restrictions are threatened and I will oppose them. Even ignore them.

After decades of people conserving, "THEY" just keep approving more people on the same infrastructure. And not even with new construction water conservation programs, such as a new gated neighborhood collecting its' "gray" water, minimally treating and using as landscape water.

Similar to electricity conservation, water conservation is a way to cheat "us" for the sake of developers. That has certainly been e

Use As Much Infrastructure As You Can Afford.

Stress The System to achieve smart, controlled growth.

Conservation is a lie.

I hope you are not like this neighbor I had, he would run his sprinklers at 3am and let the run off go down the street in the gutters. This was done in a drouth, while everybody else had dead grass his lawn was lush and green. Then the water company came by at 3am and caught him, they turned off his water. When he got up he went out to the curb and turned it back on, later that week they put a meter on his line with a monthly cap and told him. He still watered his lawn and let a lot go down the street that is until he got his $800 water bill. He bitched he cried he threatened to take them to court then he let his grass die.

We used to live in a subdivision down south of the penitentiary (A-1) can guess where, near a famous curve in highway 63. My mom would send me out in the summer, at about 2AM, to hook up the hose to the single guy's house next door to water the garden and lawn. I don't think he ever knew. He worked nights.

Why should I conserve when "they" allow more water users on the same system with no improvements of newer constructions' water management; such as recycling gray water to the green areas.

Conserve by means not available to currently established areas.

No One Sided Conservation, That's for Suckers.

Use What You Can Budget.
