Plains of East Canada Creek

I was struck by the similarities -- and contrasts to Moose River Plains. You certainly do not see the Golden Rod in the Sandy Plains of East Branch of the Moose River.

I’m pro-eating cuy!

I am sure in the preveted mind of some the leftist politicians like Donald Trump, roasted guinea pig is the same as cooking a dog or cat.

But guinea pigs are vegetarians, fed on grass and grain, have a good feed conversion ratio, are very sustainable and can be a good farming venture even in a small urban apartment. They produce a healthy, lean meat, not unlike rabbit or quail. And are supposedly quite delicious. They really a good homestead animal for providing healthy protein.

In contrast, most dogs and cats aren’t vegetarian, they are loaded with pathogens and often drugs. While some parts of the world farm dogs for food, usually they have a fairly restricted diet, compared to crap most Americans give their dogs and cats. And even so, I doubt the feed conversion ratio is particularly good.

Honestly, if there is one thing I hate about Trump is his far left-wing positions he adopts, seemingly at random. He also embraced the left-wing extremists in Palestine Ohio, many of those who claimed to be harmed by the chemical spill even though there was zero scientific evidence.

Thomas, West Virginia

Thomas, West Viriginia at one time was known primarily as a coal mining town in northern West Virginia, although nowadays near Canaan Heights, Dolly Sods and Blackwater Falls, it's more known for tourism. A fun, small little town to poke around.
