California really does lead the world!


We've still got idiots here peppering the landscape and water and animals with lead.

All for the sake of going dirty cheap...

So much for 'voluntarily' supposedly moving over to using less polluting material...

Another problem of lead shot is lead poisoning when ingested.

Just as well that I wouldn't be eating the shot birds in any case.

Very much a big danger for pets grabbing an inadvertent snack...


Another unwelcome 'side effect' of such activities is the increased flooding downstream that others then must pay for...

Posting while enjoying a couple of beers and cooling down as those grey clouds gather again.

I just hope that we don't get a shower here like this time yesterday as I've still got mow 25% of my backyard yet (it's been heavy going).

Cheers.
