About Me

Jenners
Kayes, MALI, Mali
I am a libertarian, conservative, pragmatic, Baptist, redheaded wife, mother & missionary from Parkville, MD. I have 1 DH, a DD27, a DD23, a DS20, a DD17, a DB, 2 DBILs & 2 DSILs, plus several nieces & nephews and more cousins than I can count, but no parents. I love my family, Jesus, my church, the Bible, the color teal, cats, cross-stitch, quilting, Zentangle, Star Trek, Panera, reading, rain, the old hymns, speaking French & Bambara, my adopted homeland Mali, & the Flydusterbabes(not necessarily in that order or all with the same intensity!). I hate heat n humidity, dust (the kind that blows into my house from the Sahara), wearing hats, taking pills, flossing, exercise, politics, cell phones in church, Krispy Kremes, a Malian food called 'toe,' arguments which focus on the person instead of the issue & being fat (also not necessarily in that order). I'm pro-life, pro-God, pro-home schooling, pro-term limits, & pro-prayer. I'm anti-war and anti-big government. Any questions?

Farmers in England may shoot at crows and other birds eating their crops, and sportsmen can still hunt birds for food, but only if they give the birds a chance by shouting or employing other “frightening techniques” first, the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has ruled. Only if the bird ignores it can they blast away. Failure to try to scare the bird before firing is punishable by a 5,000 pound (US$9,350) fine or six months in prison. Meanwhile, Glen Steinhardt, a farmer in Murgon, Qld., Australia, applied for a “damage mitigation permit” from Queensland’s Environmental Protection Agency to shoot swarms of birds eating his crops. An estimated 5,000 birds per day are feasting on his sorghum and wheat. The EPA gave him the permit: Steinhardt may shoot a total of 87 birds, but only if he spreads the kills over an 85-day period. Steinhardt says when trucks drive through the swarms of birds when they pass his farm, it’s common for them to hit and kill “30 to 60 in one strike,” but that sort of killing is considered accidental and not illegal. (London Times, Brisbane Courier Mail) ...So Steinhardt simply needs to soup up his tractor so it will go 80 mph.
