Yup, kinda ornery. Had one on a bridge over a creek on the cart path, he was not impressed by efforts to get him to move along. Big one bout the size of a sewer lid to boot.

There is a medical term for that Bob, now how does it go. Hmm, seems like it went something like- Young ,dumb, 10 foot tall and bullet proof. Some days thinking back it is a wonder we made it to adulthood with the dumb scat we all did as kids.

I’m sure documented research studies show that their models say millions. Without any empirical evidence. Models can tell you whatever you want to hear.

Do you prefer 42?

Douglas Adams seems to think it’s 42. But I’m pretty sure it’s 7.

If we had launched 35,000 balloons this season,
Dec 15, 2018, 8:37 PM

only 0.05 % would have made it to the coast. Of those 17, 5 would have been eaten by pelicans, 4 would have been picked up by beach children, 3 would have been eaten by sharp nosed sharks, 2 would have been covered by storm surge, 2 more would have been buried by the lifeguard and beach patrol vehicles, and 1 would have been sucked up by a jet ski. So the number of sea turtles saved is zero.

Next they'll be saying the smoke from the fireworks is causing cancer in coots that give up so many touchdowns that they fire too often.

Zero. No turtles were killed before, just a bunch of snowflakes that wants it their way or no way. Buying a few hundred just so I can release them after the Clemson/Notre Dame football game to see how many of these millennials I can pi$$ off.
