My allergies are always worst when that purple loosestrife is in bloom, too. It's worse up in Oswego County than around Syracuse but I'd sure hate to see it spread anymore. I've heard that mice are connected with the spread of Lyme Disease, which is not good. Our nextdoor neighbors dog has it and it's out for walks in the woods with it's owner a lot.
Maybe they should do is as a community service requirement for teens who are working off some misdemeanor penalty.
That's the problem when the federal government gets involved in managing land. If it was private land, the weeds would be gone and so would the mice. Nobody would have brought in a bunch of flies or bureaucrats which may end up being the biggest pest of them all. Wonder how many million dollars this bright idea cost us? I just hope that legions of spotted owls don't move in for the mice.

It's a fun song and the little kids love it.
The adults like it because it is usually sung by the eldest male in the family...in Yiddish.
