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 |
