Amen

Whatever floats your boat

Didn’t work did it?

He means you hooman.

Weekly school shootings and bankrupting health care are pretty effective deterrents too…

Ever since humans walked erect, they migrated and took things with them either intentionally or not.

I live in the kudzu encrusted South. However, we do have a invasive species that can keep the creepy ivy in check: goats Goats are among the many other animals that the Spaniards brought with them back in 15 whatever. They also brought back a number of things to Europe: mostly crops like corn, vanilla, tomatoes, potatoes, pumpkins and pineapples.

The various governments can lease rights to infected forests to goat hearders. Once the goats are fattened up, they can be slaughtered and sold for meat. I’ve had roasted goat, it’s delicious.

Follow up on the previous post. The Spanish also left behind pigs and chickens on the various islands that they visited. The hope was that they would be fruitful and multiply thus assuring as supply of fresh meat for visiting ships.

It worked and one of the peoples who took advantage of the bounty were pirates a century or so later.

To preserve the meat for long sea voyages, they smoked it in racks known as a boucans (pronounce boo-chan). One who smoked meat using a boucan was known as a boucanier or as the English called them, buccaneers.

Thus ends today’s etymology lesson.

It works anyway.

Definitely invasive, but not a true specie: bitcoin.

Snap! and Buurrrn… ☺

Didn’t work for the western hemisphere.

Ah, the great chasm between a holy God and unholy, sinful man, bridged by only ONE…Christ Jesus. ΙΧΘΥΣ

“Put your hand in the hand of the Man who stilled the water,/ put your hand in the hand of the Man who calmed the sea” (Gene MacLellan, 1970).

Humans are the most invasive species.

Nature will prevail!!!!
