" Jack Russell Terriers are perfect for catching rats and humanely getting rid of them."

I remember the Brisbane City Council sending rat dog patrols around in the 1980s.

" Indigenous knowledge and manipulation of plants is neither simple nor pre-agricultural, and can only be understood by detailed study of the particular cultural and biological systems within which they operate. These patterns can be extremely dynamic and can affect both people, and the environment through occupational continuity. Most importantly, some plant communities may have been not merely modified by Created by Aboriginal cultural activity. Aboriginal interaction with plants are the outcome of strategies that include not only physical resource exploitation but as well systems of locality and territoriality that recognize ties between particular individuals and groups and particular home environments."

Please see stumblng.tumblr.com/post/23944336, where I've written a mini-essay on this photo.

The month and year of my birth in Chillicothe, Mo. My folks literally lived in a tarpaper shack. They moved to Norwalk, Ca. three months later. Thank you, folks! I don't like the cold at all, at all! My dad later worked in the war industry and in the merchan marine. My mom was one of thosee "Rosie the riviters" in Long Beach.

Gee, I wish the stupid, smart-ass notes would be deleted off these photos.

I agree about the stupid notes , teenager type of attention seeking and annoying .
