Don - no, I don't have any treeoctopus. This is what I have on my Offutt Lake property just south of Olympia.
The photo of the three DEA agents with the plants in front of them, are standing in the back of a 3/4 ton p/u. The plants are on the ground. I smudged their faces because I don't think they would appreciate their photos on the internet. I believe a couple of them are still working undercover. Of course, the photo of me, is with the best part of the plant.
I have people growing marijuana on my property all the time. Usually I look the other way if it is just a couple of plants, but when they have a large plantation and they start cutting my trees down for better growing conditions, I draw the line there.

ATLANTA (AP) _ A 79-year-old woman accused of fatally shooting
her 85-year-old ex-beau is being deprived of her constitutional
right to a fair trial, her attorney said, because the potential
jurors are not old enough for her to be judged by a jury of her
peers.
As Lena Sims Driskell peered over her gold-rimmed glasses Monday
at potential jurors in her murder trial, some of the 58 candidates
were young enough to be her great-grandchildren. Only five seemed
close to 70, the legal age for exemption as a juror in the state of
Georgia.
``This is the youngest jury pool I've ever seen,'' said
Driskell's attorney, Deborah Poole. ``Most of these people look
under 30. How does one have a trial when you are not able to
include a whole class of people in the jury?''
Driskell is accused of fatally shooting Herman Winslow on June
10, 2005, as he read the newspaper at the senior citizens home
where the two lived. After dating for a year, police said Driskell
became angry when Winslow broke off their relationship and started
seeing another woman.
Driskell is charged with murder, aggravated assault and
possession of a firearm.
Police say she was wearing a hairnet, stockings, a bathrobe and
slippers when she confronted Winslow at his apartment. Winslow
complained and a security guard tried to calm Driskell down, but
when he turned around she drew an antique handgun she had hidden
behind her back, put the gun to Winslow's head and fired up to four
times, Detective D.B. Mathis said.
``I did it and I'd do it again!'' Driskell was quoted as yelling
to the officers who found her waving the gun and holding her finger
on the trigger when they arrived.
At the jury selection Monday, only three potential jurors said
they would be unable to pass judgment on someone older than
themselves. And when asked whether there were any members of
advocacy groups for elderly people, none raised a hand.
Fulton County Superior Court Jury Clerk Jennifer Lawson said
that while senior citizens are not excluded from jury service, any
person 70 or older may be excused from jury duty with the
submission of an age affidavit.
Opening statements in the trial could begin Tuesday. The trial
is expected to last no more than three days.
Senior Assistant District Attorney Fani Willis, who is
prosecuting the case, declined to comment.

This isn't so much funny as just plain puzzling. Will someone tell me why this thing works time and time again?

Roger, it's more complicated than this but it's the same principle...
Take any number.
Multiply it by two :thup
Divide it by two... :thup
Viola! You've got your original number again! :shock:

Roger - It's not as complicated as this, but it's the same principle.
If your number is between 10 and 19, you always get 9 after the math. Between 20 and 29, you always get 18. Between 30 and 39, then it's 27. On and on in multiples of nine. If you look at the chart, you will see that 9, 18, 27, 36, etc. always have the same symbol.

When I took the "yankee test" as honestly as I could, it came up with 31% Dixie, the rest Yankee. That's no too bad as my grandfather on my Dad's side was from N.C. (in the smokey mts., near the Ga border) and all other grandparents were from the north or were emigrants that settled in the north. So by birth, I'm 25% dixie - the extra 6% must've come from talking to Patrick at the factory gathering!
THE FUNERAL
A young minister was asked by a funeral director to hold a graveside service for a homeless man, with no family or friends, who had died while traveling through the area. The funeral was to be held at a cemetery way back in the country, and this man would be the first to be laid to rest there.
As the minister was not familiar with the backwoods area, he became lost; and being a typical man he did not stop for directions. He finally arrived an hour late.
He saw the crew, eating lunch, but the hearse was nowhere in sight. He apologized to the workers for his tardiness, and stepped to the side of the open grave, where he saw the vault lid already in place. He assured the workers he would not hold them long but this was the proper thing to do. The workers gathered around, still eating their lunch. He poured out his heart and soul. As he preached, the workers began to say "Amen," "Praise the Lord," and "Glory," he preached, and he preached, like he'd never preached before: from Genesis all the way to Revelations.
He closed the lengthy service with a prayer and walked to his car. He felt he had done his duty for the homeless man and that the crew would leave with a renewed sense of purpose and dedication, in spite of his tardiness.
As he was opening the door and taking off his coat, he overheard one of the workers saying to another, "I ain't never seen anything like this before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.

Hi y'all!
I think this study is biased!
I scored 38% and have lived in California all my life, and only traveled as far into the South as Missouri (once)! But my mother is from there(?)
Norma-
Our Southern Boy Patrick is so far down in Dixie he needs a satellite cam to see the Mason-Dixon line! Wouldn't be surprised if he scores up in the 80 or 90 %. Fun knowing so many friends alll over the U.S.!
Joe.

I went back and looked and if I had changed two of my answers to words that mean the same thing to me I would have scored 99%! I was on the fence about "roly poly" vs. "doodle bug" and "wrapping" vs. "rolling". In Alabama I learned "roly poly" and "rolling". In Texas it was "doodle bug" and "wrapping"! I went with roly poly and wrapping.

Guess it's a good test. I scored 61% Dixie, and i'm in Northern VA, just below the Mason Dixon Line. Was born in Baltimore, which was a 'border state'.
