| Ahmuck | morning | 16:05 |
|---|---|---|
| Ahmuck | just got back from AR | 16:05 |
| Ahmuck | have a few questions for some nativie AR | 16:13 |
| kwadroke | ok | 16:14 |
| Ahmuck | is AR smoggy? | 16:15 |
| kwadroke | no | 16:15 |
| kwadroke | most of arkansas is too flat | 16:15 |
| kwadroke | to hold on to any smog | 16:15 |
| kwadroke | other places like fayetteville are too windy | 16:16 |
| kwadroke | can't think of anywhere that smog could be an issue | 16:17 |
| kwadroke | in Arkansas anyway | 16:17 |
| Ahmuck | i noticed in NW AR that it seems there are roads everywhere and houses are dropped off those roads at random | 16:18 |
| Ahmuck | normal? | 16:18 |
| kwadroke | I can understand that | 16:18 |
| Ahmuck | what kind of vine is choking the trees? | 16:19 |
| kwadroke | Arkansas is not known for it's planning of roads | 16:19 |
| Ahmuck | heh | 16:19 |
| kwadroke | Kudzu | 16:19 |
| * Ahmuck researches kudzu | 16:19 | |
| Ahmuck | have they found a way to deal with it?: | 16:19 |
| kwadroke | burn it | 16:19 |
| kwadroke | and keep it cut back | 16:19 |
| kwadroke | constantanly | 16:19 |
| kwadroke | there's more Kudzu in south AR | 16:20 |
| Ahmuck | looking at wikipedia, it seems goats love it and it has high protien | 16:20 |
| Ahmuck | seems like the best control method would be the use of goats | 16:20 |
| Ahmuck | wonder why the AR forest service doesn't fence all large portions and turn goats in on it | 16:21 |
| kwadroke | goats themselves can be problems | 16:21 |
| Ahmuck | how | 16:21 |
| kwadroke | usually they don't eat what you want them to eat | 16:21 |
| kwadroke | and kudzu grows up into trees and such, so goats can't get to it | 16:22 |
| Ahmuck | i'd think that grazing the vine below would kill those in the trees | 16:23 |
| Ahmuck | hrm, i'm wondering if i just saw burn smog when i was there | 16:23 |
| kwadroke | we do control burns alot here | 16:25 |
| Ahmuck | it appeared the mountains were being clear cut for farming | 16:25 |
| kwadroke | *controlled burns | 16:25 |
| kwadroke | tree farming usually | 16:25 |
| Ahmuck | if we do controlled burns here, sometimes they get a bit out of hand. the prarie is to dangerous for burning anymore. liablity | 16:25 |
| kwadroke | Weyerhouser is big here | 16:25 |
| Ahmuck | a lot of housing development i noticed | 16:25 |
| Ahmuck | mountain wise. i'm not sure how to feel about that | 16:26 |
| Ahmuck | the prarie run off people long ago. it's a hard place to live. | 16:26 |
| kwadroke | there's housing development all over | 16:27 |
| * Ahmuck wonders how long it'll be before there are no mountains | 16:33 | |
| Ahmuck | got caught in devils den and lost my brakes this weekend | 16:33 |
| kwadroke | that's not good | 16:33 |
| Ahmuck | had to have a park ranger find some brake fluid and give me a hand | 16:34 |
| Ahmuck | seems like car's don't like braking on the switchbacks as often | 16:34 |
| Ahmuck | oddly enough, my allergies went away. | 16:37 |
| Ahmuck | till i came back to ks | 16:37 |
| Ahmuck | thx for the convo | 16:56 |
| kwadroke | yw | 16:56 |
| * Ahmuck sets to cleaning office | 16:57 | |
