Uncatagorized.....things we see....

Wanted to share this pic I saw over on Facebook....I wish I could find a better place to save it for reference.

Comparison of the root system of prairie grass vs agricultural.
The removal of these root systems is what lead to the dust bowl when drought arrived...

Switch grass roots are like 10 to 15 feet deep if memory serves me correctly. Annual vs perennial I guess.
 
Clearly,that photo was taken in east texas

The Academy in Corpus Christi had an enormous array of fishing tackle and equipment; the best place to get stainless steel kahle hooks. I like them as well, or better, for catching large catfish.
I suspect that isn't CC since there are no trucks (and none with brush guards) visible in the parking lot. 😉

No, it was Texarkana, TX, afternoon and the parking lot was full of soccer mom cars who were in the store buying bats, balls, gloves, and shoes for their kids ball teams
 
Was playing golf in OZ yesterday. And...while we were waiting on one of the tee boxes...this pack of four coyotes ran by in front of us....and stopped in front of a home about 75 yards away....where they started to play. Was interesting to watch the pecking order of this pack. They are almost completely oblivious to our presence and were there after we made our drives. Funny how semi-domesticated they (and the bobcats) have become here in the desert. They have ample rabbits and quail to supply them with easy food. Two weeks ago I saw one with a cormorant in its jaws as it walked across the fairway and between a two homes. I try to lip squeak a rabbit call, but they may not even pay a glance at me. Brazen.
Was going to wait for a better pic....buy I had golf to play. FORE!
