Asian Wooly Hackberry Aphid Control 1000 Years Past Due
 |
| I mentioned in my last post that the deadline for bids
for construction of Baroni Park was February 8th. A much more significant
deadline facing Chico was the one for Asian Wooly Hackberry Aphid Control.
As I've shown above the bid deadline for this job is February 1st, 1007 (1000 years ago). This is a problem because the Asian Wooly Hackberry Aphid is capable of causing significant damage even in much shorter time frames. It shouldn't take a millennium to get this contract filled. As an example of the potential for environmental damage see the black and white photo (above) of Golden Gate Park in S. F. that suffered from a pair of Asian Wooly Hackberry Aphids nesting there last winter. |
| People submitting bids should have experience destroying
the Asian Wooly Hackberry Aphid as they can be somewhat dangerous. Experience
in the following areas are also a plus, CEQAA (California environmental quality armored assault) heavy weapons, shaped charges, and bazookas advanced Charrette defensive operations The last Asian Wooly Hackberry Aphid control team entered Bidwell Ranch and was never heard from again. The photo below was captured on Anthony Watts' Bidwell Ranch Cam. Coming on the heels of the mutated giant fairy shrimp attack last year (July 25th, '06 entry) we can only hope the City can get this contract filled before an innocent bystander gets hurt. |

A wise teacher once told me something I will pass on to you now. "If you don't have anything important to say, don't say anything at all."
I am giving you permission from the Universe to skip a blog day if there is nothing newsworthy to comment on...or if you're not trying to goad the ER into printing publicity for an increase in blog readers.

Withanee, Withanee, Withanee,
The true beauty of your soul impales my wicked flesh as the light of truth scars the darkest black of evil. I will forever be in your debt for gracing me with your priceless pearl of wisdom.
However, you may be misinterpreting the real "end goal" of this blog. That is to drive readers away!
I have come to the conclusion that I can't be a counter culture icon without being a popular culture pariah. It is to this end I strive aimlessly and without import. The greatest impact I can have on Chico's policy makers is to have no lasting impact at all.

Withanee,
Another great teacher once said "If you can't say nuthin' NICE, don't say nuthin' at all!"
Thumper Rabbit.
Me and all the rest of the foxy babes in the Lon Glazner Fan Club can't get through a single day of our otherwise shallow meaningless lives without direction from our super hero's witty inspirations, which are cleverly disguised as nonsense only to distract Homeland Security surveillance.
