what attraction(s) do you recommend visiting in PA?
Comments (24)Hi! I love PA and its history. I lived out in the eastern part of the state for a while and the Harley Davidson plant is pretty cool...so are the little towns of Amish (as suggested above). If you're heading up to Erie (Presque Isle is GREAT!!!!) you could hit Oil City and check out the great old mansioins and museums. If you're heading north, check out the Allegheny Nat'l Park, too...there are tons of great places to stay for a night in a cabin on the lake. If you head south, you can always hit the city of Pittsburgh and take in the history there. The science center, station square, museums and strip district are always fun...even for those of us born and raised out here!!!!!!! You could always hit the PS grand canyon, too...heard it is beautiful! Hope you enjoy the trip and I can't wait to hear where you went!!! Take care and journey safe! ~k...See Moregarlic mustard and ? knotweed ? good/bad idea to...
Comments (25)Hi Folks, I just wanted to throw in my $.02 on the subject of controlling Japanese Knotweed. This past week I spent two days removing the knotweed from hill along the side of my driveway. The infestation had been growing for about two years and spreading rapidly. In my case, the hillside that was covered in knotweed also had some plants that I wanted to save- some sugar maples, four varieties of ferns, and some viburnum, so using a foliar spray was out of the question. Instead, I used the "cut stem application" as outlined in this document: http://www.pullman-wa.gov/content/WYSIWYG/Recreation/Japanese%20knotweed.pdf The document recommends cutting the canes between the first and second node and filling the "well" with concentrated herbicide (I chose plain Glyophosphate, you choose your own poison). The document claims this method is 95% effective. Another method involves injecting the plant with herbicide using an injection tool. The upside to this method is that you don't need to dispose of the cut canes. In all, it took me just about two days to clear the hillside. I cut enough canes to completely fill my 8' truck bed two times. I'll keep an eye on the area for the next year or so in case any survivors pop up. -Josh-...See MoreAttractive people you don't find attractive
Comments (27)>Tory Spelling I place Tori Spelling firmly in the Nepotism Rules category. Frankly, I think she is a homely, unattractive woman who is a celebrity ONLY due to having been allowed on a tv show her famous father produced. The other poster child for this category IMO is Rumer Willis, Bruce and Demi's daughter. That girl has close set beady eyes, a pursed little mouth, a Jay Leno-level prominent chin, and to top if all off the chopped off haircut is unfortunate in the extreme. She clearly has unlimited funds to work with so the body and clothing is usually spiffy. But oh that face! I am 1000% convinced that if she didn't have a famous parents, one of whom is the most gorgeous women in Hollywood, she would never in a million years be getting any paparazzi attention. She has not done any notable acting, nor anything notable in any venue for that matter. Here is a link that might be useful: Rumer Willis...See MoreIs it a bad idea to feed the rabbits in my yard?
Comments (58)Great pic Oakley! Your cat looks very interested! Moccasins are BAD. I do think they are temperamental snakes! You better get some cilantro planted around those tomatoes! That bull snake would scare me too! I meant to say oak...don't know why I typed walnut trees! Bethpen that is so scarey!!! I would have almost died too! I cannot imagine a snake flying out at me! I used rags to scoop the snakes up. The only one that tried to bite was the baby snake stuck on the painters tape. It was hard to get off. It kept snapping at me. I didn't want to touch it and I was trying to bend the tape so it could get itself off. It finally did and slithered outside. I think snakes are interesting but I don't like them enough to touch them or ever want one for a pet. For whatever reason, I always seem to run into snakes. People who lived in AZ have told me they have never seen a rattler their whole lives. I stopped counting at 35 my first summer mtn biking here. I almost stepped on a huge one when my gears malfunctioned one night. I was VERY lucky it didn't strike as it was PO. Twice when I was small, I ran into rattlers in the desert that were angry and ready to strike. My grandfather had to shoot them with his pistol. Another time I ran into a huge King snake. He actually caught it with his bare hands to show me it was harmless. When I was little we moved to NC so my stepdad could go to duke law school. I found a baby snake on the side of the road and put it in my overalls pocket. I forgot about it until dinner. I remember my mother dropping dishes when I pulled it out of my pocket. It was alive and probably quite happy in my pocket. It was a copperhead....See Morejeanner
