It’s been a busy June and more of the same in July
The other day I got out on the trout stream with my brother Steve and sister Alana. Pulled into fountain springs just after dawn, no one else on the stream. Lots of trout in the stream but their a little spooky with the clear water. The chuck taylor all stars worked well for creek stompin and it sure beat bush wackin for getting down to the small holes off the path. I ended up with three trout for the morning two rainbows and one brown.
I’ve been busy lately working on a post and beam entery way which will be topped with a green roof.
The roof on the sauna is doing well with various sediums growing.
The bees are doing great! End of June and I all ready was able to pull ten frames of honey off of one of the hives. All four are flourishing so there should bee more honey in the next few weeks.
I took Maxine for a drive out mill valley in the pickup last Thursday and we stopped at Rolli to wet a line an a splash in the stream. She’s not quite sure about the bass but she loves the water.
Oh, here are some of the latest stats on car/deer accidents
Conclusions:Every year in the United States approximately 1.5 million deer–vehicle collisions (DVCs) occur resulting in >29,000 human injuries, >200 human fatalities, 1.3 million deer fatalities, and >1 billion dollars worth of property damage. Despite the magnitude of this problem, there are relatively few well-designed studies that have evaluated techniques that can be used to reduce DVCs. Techniques to reduce DVCs fall into 4 categories: reducing the number of deer, reducing the number of vehicles, modifying deer behavior, and changing motorist behavior. Techniques to reduce the number of deer include decreasing the deer population or excluding deer from the roadway. Techniques used to change motorist behavior include reducing vehicle speed or increasing motorists’ ability to see deer. Modifying deer behavior includes making the roadside less attractive to deer or frightening deer away from the roadway. Despite a limited amount of data, multiple studies have shown properly installed and maintained fences combined with wildlife crossings to be the most effective method of reducing DVCs. Methods with unproven effectiveness include: intercept feeding, repellents, reduced speed limits, caution signs, and roadway lighting. Stimuli designed to frighten deer (e.g., deer whistles, flagging, and deer reflectors) are ineffective because they cannot be perceived by deer or do not elicit a flight response. Well-designed studies are needed so that we can acquire the knowledge about how to reduce the frequency of DVCs.
No scientific data supports the claim that hunting activity increases the rate of deer-vehicle accidents. However, the data does support the fact the vehicular traffic patterns influence deer vehicle accidents. Removing deer through hunting or other deer management techniques is an effective method to reduce deer populations, which will result in fewer deer-vehicle accidents.

First named in 1840, Brady Street is an architectural tapestry of buildings mostly constructed between 1860 and 1930, creating a distinctive neighborhood that was home to early Polish, German and Irish immigrants. In the 1930's it became more predominantly Italian; some of the businesses still bear the names of these pioneering Italian families today.
