I'll gladly take a job this summer, provided that it's permanent, and that the reason I'm working this summer is 'cause I'll be working at the job next summer. -------------------- Reports of my demise are extremely accurate.

quote:Archaeology-oriented is a pretty good way to describe it. The earlier classes are primarily focused on human evolution, and differentiating humans from other primates. They will discuss the development on early civilizations with an emphasis on tool making, of hunter-gatherer skills, and development of agriculture. I'm only going to take the first couple courses, as the others don't sound appealing to me. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

I will be very curious to hear exactly what you do in Astronomy, Dolphin. That's probably the way I'll be going. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Ben - Here is a course description, but I might wait until fall as both classes will make it almost full time summer school (8 units). quote: [ Friday, June 03, 2005 18:41: Message edited by: Dolphin ] -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

Its winter here. But I still have a job, as a garden waterer for and elderly lady around the corner. I have never met the lady, ass I only water the garden when she and her husband are away. But her husband works with my dad, so I get the money through dear old dad. -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step. Polaris Posts: 2396 | Registered: Saturday, January 29 2005 08:00 |

I don't realy care if he takes some of the profit; its not like I get much anyway. $5 every time I water the gardens is better than no money. -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step. Polaris Posts: 2396 | Registered: Saturday, January 29 2005 08:00 |

V - Good Luck. I regularly visit dairies, and am so grateful that I can leave after only a few hours. Here they are most CAFO (confined animal feeding operation) but no hormone injections. What's it like up in BC? Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

Really a mix half and half. There are confined barns for shelter obviously it's Vancouver Island after all. Rain ahhh! Any way yeah there's open area paddock type area with barns interconnected. My Uncles farm is fairly old on the building end so there's no modern tight holding areas like a lot of farms. It's funny really they are the only Canadian born farmers in that area. Every other Dairy is run by Dutch immigrants. They are big on modern buildings while using old equipment. My uncles are big on new shinny 400,000$ equipment while having older buildings. The farm is actually close to 100 years old. Do you work for a milk pickup company or a vet? -------------------- I stop rubber at 160km/h, five times a week. CANUCKS RESPEK!

I live across the road from our cities vet. It is handy, as we can just pop over if our dog is sick. Also, when our dear dog was hit by a car, we just ran over with the dog in my arms and possibly saved its life. -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step.

I'm a guy that gets called when there is a question about gov't assistance in upgrading various aspects of all sorts of things, including some of the stuff that may or may not happen in a dairy farm. My favorite to date is the feces transport system. It used a gravity assisted corkscrew device to move the dung, squeeze out the liquid (which went into a tank for spray back onto the fields), and then the remaining material was blown into a 3 walled building with roof. After we finished this project (farmer only paid half the materials cost), he smiled at us and said he could now start up a business selling the dried manure. Not caring, we agreed, and he has been successful in the new venture. Also the cows are a lot healthier not standing in their own filth while in the barn. The specificity in the first sentence is real. I really am "that guy you call." It says so on my business card. :D Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

The Harvard comma is good style, but the examples in that link are pretty poor examples of why it's so. I'm surprised they didn't use the classic example, which, while humorous, makes the point as well as any: "I'd like to thank my parents, Ayn Rand and God". -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

Also, hell wouldn't be ruled by satan, it would be ruled by cows. I went to a farm when I was 10, and I was nearly kicked in the nether regions by a mad sheep. That is why I never want to go on a farm ever again. -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step. Polaris Posts: 2396 | Registered: Saturday, January 29 2005 08:00 |

Yeah I know it can get that way especially in wet areas. I hate rain I'll take a dry area any day. But you do get used to stuff or I did at least. Ranches look so easy in comparison to Dairies. No buildings to clean don't have to feed the animals all summer etc. -------------------- I stop rubber at 160km/h, five times a week. CANUCKS RESPEK! My Style The Knight Between Posts.

There is no rule. You do it voluntarily based on whether or not you think other people should know to edited. I rarely do it anymore; I think it kind of takes away what you were going to say. But sometimes it's good like say: EDIT: Yay, 1328 posts! Important number, y'know. That really wasn't an edit, though. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |
