Bingo.
Ranch = livestock
Farm = vegetation
OK maybe I am wrong about the specifics, just relating my understandinding of things working for a co that flushed storm sewers for new housing developments in So Fl some 20 odd years ago. Was told that attaching to a hydrant illegally was a major serious crime and we would not go near there potentionally losing our business. So all you Tom Selleck guys can go on thinking he’s a such a fine guy if that’s your inclination, I’m done with it.
“’Blue Bloods’ is about my husband’s favorite tv show.”
I used to watch it because I love love love Tom Selleck. (Did I mention I love Tom Selleck?) But after a while I couldn’t take it any more.
The grammar the writers use is atrocious. Selleck says something like, “Me and my friends like to go fishing.” A man who’s risen to the position of Police Commissioner in NY would say, “My friends and I...”. The teenage girl, a student of some private hoity-toity school, says “Me and my friends want to go to the city”. Reflects badly on a parochial school education. Even if the writers are ignorant, you’d think at least one of the actors would correct it. At least one of them must’ve attended 6th grade. Grammar consistently is irritating on that show.
The teenage girl, with her smug look and uppity nose in the air is just creepy.
I do like how the Commissioner responds to ignorant questions from the press.
Most of those stars just buy out of state water and have it trucked in.
Yeah. The girl (& the women) sort of annoy me on that show. (I suspect my husband doesn’t mind watching some of the episodes over & over because he has the hots for the women.) They are ACTRESSES for goodness sakes, NOT big shot lawyers & heroic nurses working double shifts then coming home & cooking supper. ACTRESSES memorizing lines & watching their diets like hawks between their sessions with their personal trainers. Oh, & don’t get me started on how the makeup artists on the show jump to attend to powdering their noses for the camera. (If I dared to get my hair cut off in a pixie like that girl on the show; my husband would absolutely throw a fit.) Also, I’ve always had to cook serious meals for him & when you get near 70, the pounds tend to pile on easier. - I’ve tried to tell my husband that Selleck is married to a woman named Jillie Mack & only has one grown daughter instead of the litter they depict on “Blue Bloods”. (I try to keep my mouth shut, though. I watch episodes of Summer Wine reruns over and over on PBS.) I just let him drool over the BB women; if he wants to live in a dream world - he can hop to it! - Yep. I guess I’m just a bitter old woman (a BOW). You get that way after you’re married over 50 yrs. to a man who fancies himself something else besides what he is. :o(
I figured as much.
Still, I’d like to see Selleck rename his farm/whatever just to stick a finger in their eye.
I stopped watching Blue Bloods last year. I liked it for a while but at some point most shows get repetitive and boring and too much PC to take in.

The suit seeks an order forcing Selleck to stop using the district's water, plus reimbursement for the $21,685.55 it paid the investigator, with damages and other costs.
But the suit is a civil action, not a criminal case. Ventura County sheriff's Capt. John Riley meanwhile told NBC News that the sheriff's office did investigate allegations of criminal water theft, but "we are unable to establish a crime was committed."
The Ventura County district attorney's office also confirmed that no case has been referred to it for prosecution.
...
Selleck hasn't responded to requests for comment, and it's unknown whether he has anything to do with the water truck, which is registered under a commercial license.
Eric Bergh, the water district's manager of resources, said the suit wasn't meant to be an example of "drought shaming," a peculiarly California activity in which people suspected of hogging water are publicly called out.
..and ‘orchard’ is what it actually is.
