A DOGS LIFE
Dingo is shown here fishing with one of the DogPatch Locals (in the hat) hoping to catch a CATFISH!
(and yes, they did use the little blue baggies to pick up after themselves)

Al
Before I went up there, I spent some time talking to this guy named Al, a little bit past the first big shack when you drive in. He seemed a nice sort, but kept claiming that he invented the space time continuum or some such. He was hard to understand and was drinking heavily.

Speaking for my self. When I post something on this blog, It is mainly for my amusement.
How ever, if it generates a colorful and amusing comment, that is a bonus. If it generates a sadistic or hateful comment, well that is life as they say.
I would like to think more highly of man kind,( how ever foolish that may be) that when the hateful comment is made, it would be reread by that person and they would ask of themselves, could I have made a wiser comment.
But this is not Kansas, is it Dorothy.
How is dingo urine gathered? Carefully, study says
Australian researchers say they have discovered a new repellent that can help with everything from rehabilitating old mine sites to reducing the amount of roadkill. It's dingo urine.
Researchers at Curtin University have been startled by the effectiveness of urine from Australia's wild dogs in scaring off kangaroos which chew through areas of new-growth vegetation.
The university's Michael Parsons said the discovery could have important applications in helping to re-establish plant life on old mine sites by repelling kangaroos, unique Australian marsupials which number in the tens of millions.
Researchers looked at the effectiveness of chemicals found in the urine of dingoes and non-native predators like coyotes.
"When we presented tame kangaroos with coyote urine, they became interested in the new smell, but when presented with the dingo urine they were startled and fled," Parsons said.
He told Reuters Tuesday that the effect of urine on wild kangaroos was even more dramatic.
Parsons's team is looking at ways of delivering the repellent effectively at mine sites and how much would be needed, as well as whether it could be used to reduce the number of collisions between kangaroos and vehicles on outback roads.
He said the university was also trying to isolate and synthesize the active chemicals in dingo urine so that it could be made in quantities large enough to be commercially viable.
For now, the university is receiving supplies of the real thing from Australia's Dingo Conservation Society, but he said how it is gathered is a tightly held secret.
"At one stage we fashioned a little urine catcher to walk dingoes and collect it from, but that tended to be risky," Parsons said.

THANKS!
Have fun this summer at the Point!
I'M OUT-A HERE!!!!
The Summer Solstice
A diagram showing how the Sun moves through the sky on the Summer solstice. |
The upper panel shows that on the summer solstice (which occurs around June 21), the northern half of the Earth is tilted towards the Sun. Notice that the Sun is north of the equator. For you in Topeka, the altitude of the Sun at noon is 73.5°, which is pretty high in the sky. In fact, that is as high as the Sun ever gets at that latitude. It has been getting higher and higher in the sky since the winter solstice and through the vernal equinox. The bottom panel shows how the Sun moves through the sky for someone standing on the ground in Topeka.
So in general, the northern hemisphere is getting more direct sunlight, which heats the Earth most efficiently, than the southern hemisphere. This is summer for people in the northern hemisphere. During the summer, the Sun is also above the horizon longer than it is during the winter. The summer solstice is the longest day of the year.
At this same time, the southern half of the Earth is tilted away from the Sun. If you were living in Neuquen, Argentina (roughly -40° S latitude) you would be bundled up for the winter.
How high the Sun gets in your sky, and how long it is above the horizon during the day, depend not only on the season, but also on your latitude.Monday, June 19, 2006
Pillsbury Dough Boy Death A Hoax

Dingo Arrested. Held Without Bail.
I will be representing him at an emergency after-hours hearing at the Federal Courthouse. The major goal will be to prevent him from being transported to a foreign detention center for questioning, which is what usually happens once someone arrested in this fashion is transferred to a military base. It is impossible to do anything more for him right now and we will not be permitted to learn what the charges are for some time, if we are ever able to learn what the charges are. This is not your grandfather's legal system anymore.

Pillsbury Dough Boy Dies Suddenly
Dough boy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, The California Raisins, Betty Crocker, Captain Crunch, and Maureen McCormick -- best remembered as "Marsha" in "The Brady Bunch" television series, who co-starred with Dough Boy in his first television commercial.
The grave site was piled high with flours. As longtime friend, Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing Dough Boy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.
Although Dough Boy was already 35 when he started his career in show business, he rose quickly. His later life was filled with turnovers. He was never considered a "smart" cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Dough Boy lost a 15-year legal battle to profits from the movie "Ghostbusters." He had been digitally replaced by the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man by means of post-production special effects, months after Dough Boy had originally been filmed in the role. Despite being a little flaky at times, he was even still, as a crusty old man, considered a roll model for millions.
Toward the end it was thought he would rise again, but alas, he had fallen. Dough Boy is survived by his wife, Play Dough; two children, John Dough and Jane Dough; plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about twenty.
JUST IN TIME FOR SUMMER!
