When does hunting season start?

Some times after the bison push down the fence around the preserve and wander off to some cattle herd or city lawn and garden plot.

I always thought the Yellowstone herd should be thinned out by permitting representatives of the Plains Indians to hunt them in the old ways to keep the cultural memories alive.

I might stipulate that stampeding over a cliff, while authentic, would be less discriminate in culling the herd, however

I remember how glad I was when Spain built the first major solar array using concave mirrors to focus heat to build steam electricity (?) Nothing wrong with trying solar, eh?

Unfortuanately Spain closed it down. It was never able to produce electricity without huge government subsidies. Solar could be an answer for part of our needs someday, but perhaps not yet.

Probably 30 0r 40 years ago a guy in S. San Antonio was producing his own electricity with a windmill constraption and selling some back to the city. Typical home use inventions haven’t yet proved practical despite all the hype and wishes.

I wonder what kind of grass some folks are growing when they put forth ideas like algae farms as emergy producers. Try your imagination on an a algae farm large enough to produce energy for a small city or town. Got it? What are they thinking>

I especially like the tides ideas. After all, time and tides wait for no man, eh? But I think the tide inventions have problems getting clogged with sea algae or something.

not that there is any shortage of plowed dirt in the Midwest.

We are getting closer, lots of good farmland being converted to cities, roads and acreages.
