A barrier to benefits can often be unforeseen. I enjoy camping and have been receiving flyers and opinion polls because of my time spent in Yellowstone Park. While there, I learned about how the insertion of wolves (after a 70-year absence) changed the behavior of the animals and the land. I recently found a video that described the lengths to which the park and its wildlife were affected.
I spent part of last Saturday setting up for Christmas. After going through the tough part of getting the tree and carrying it up a cramped flight of stairs it was time to decorate it. This meant getting the bags, totes, and ornament boxes upstairs as well. My mother buys a new ornament every year and seemingly has done so forever. Her ornaments date back to the ’50s and spend the majority of their time stored in her basement covered in tissue paper.
From my childhood I always remember the Grinch trying to steal Christmas. The Grinch did not succeed thanks to the local townspeople. However, where he failed -- root rot caused by water mold in the soil might succeed.
