Being in the desert I think we are fairly safe from the Green Acres crowd.

Not too long ago a city feller passing through was trying to visit with me. He asked me if we had birds and insects here, when I informed him yes we have all kinds of birds and insects here he said he didn’t expect to see any living creatures here since it was desert. He could not figure out how they could exist without water. Mind you we don’t even live in full desert as in all sand or sand and cactus- we are in high desert with tall grass, yuccas, mesquite- that type of vegetation. I was speechless- this yahoo doesn’t seem to know there are critters everywhere, even in the absolute desert...I tried to explain to him that there was water here, and we do get rainfall he seemed skeptical since he didn’t see lakes and streams.

That’s ok, folks like him won’t be coming here expecting to live off the land; though they easily could if they had a clue.

City people are a source of amazing confused thinking.

I once had a couple of city women INSIST that since mules were sterile they were also asexual. They could not accept that mules come in male and female. These were supposedly educated people.
