Great idea. Get and stay in shape by doing useful work, rather than useless exercise.

> Cutting down bamboo. <

Some folks plant ornamental bamboo. Then they are dismayed when the stuff pops up all over the place. Bamboo rhizomes grow horizontally under the ground, and so the next thing you know you’ve got bamboo everywhere.

It is very difficult to control.

I have no problem with that. Doing yard work when the sun is blazing away is a good form of exercise.

My first thought was it sounds like a good program but should be longer than 20 hours and does that include the time rounding them up and on a bus?

My second thought was hoping these little angels weren’t scoping out easy targets.

Cutting down bamboo doesn’t do anything but hurt your back. Bamboo has to be dug out.

Yeah it was a hell of compromise. Booster sponsored phony jobs or booster paid
phony endorsements.

They get partial. I went to a D-III school.

What type of partial? Was it for playing an intercollegiate sport?
