As a kid, we knew the location of all the hand pumps to get a drink and cool off. We also knew where we could take a shit - a couple outhouses and the old, unused Quaker church. Lunch was often fresh cucumbers from the garden or spend a quarter and split a cantaloupe from the Amish guy's stand. We often biked 20 miles or more a day.

In cool Spring, bees struggle to pollinate Northwest cherry crop.

Beowulfsfriend comments on May 14, 2022:

Native bees have been dying for decades. Then, commercial bee entities were hit with viruses and are dying as well. Those farmers and those in agriculture who rely on native bees have been, basically, left to fend for themselves and given little help. Government money has gone into protecting the industrial bee people. And, while I can also support that (almost all honey comes from that / and most farms are pollinated by renting bee hives), more needs to be done to protect native species of bees.

Yeah.

Satanists will sue PA school district for rejecting After School Satan Club

Beowulfsfriend comments on Apr 21, 2022:

I used to live and work in York county. Near to that school district is Dover which people may remember from their school board take over in the 90's for the teaching of intelligent design. A small group of parents sued and, in the end, the district had to change and was ordered to pay, at taxpayers expense over 3 million dollars. That group of parents didn't take the damages awarded as they were fighting for a set purpose. Thus, the district only lost about 1.5 million in court and lawyers fees. The voters voted out that school board. HIT THE BASTARDS FINANCIALLY.
