2. interesting. i get hassled on my farm over 'weeds'

every.damn.year. it occurred to me this year, tho, that they're trying to make me remove plants vital to endangered insects. i have monarchs on my milkweed, and migrating song birds.

i need to make a good photo census, and tell them to stuff it. i'm sorta itchin for them to write me another ticket.
