Sounds pretty Ominous, but it is a term they use to define it. In reality, its just another area to go after it, and they will. They watched my lungs for 2 years thinking it was the next place of travel after round 2. Second time around was actually stage 3 or 4 for me. It travelled from the tongue where the cells mutated originally into a lymph node other side of neck and 16 months had passed since surgical removal. It may have been stage 2, muscle to lymphatic system. Not sure of the terms for stages. First step was removal and biopsy of nodes on that side with the new tumor. No sign in surrounding ones, but the cancer had perforated the node I found it in. Then became the shotgun approach, Nuke everything around the area on both sides to kill faster mutating cells that could be cancer. I did the CT scans for 2 years and dealt with the shadows and stuff the body makes in the lungs that look like cancer tumors but were not. Then they cut me loose. They have a plan for any method of treatment. Hope it works for you.

Wooly Mammoths should have stomped them down.

They do not decompose very quickly. Have one stuck in wiper frame going on 2 weeks, came off in car wash finally.

Many things were introduced here, horses, pigs, cattle, dogs, cats, and rats. The bee has possibly over competed with the native pollinators, and the disease brought with them has not spread to natives. Regardless, nature will run its course and work itself out. We are an invasive species too trying to inflict our views and wants, unless you are native indian.

Let him come to the USA and get hit by a flying carp while running a boat. That will screw up his thesis.

I am at 5 today, moving one to farm this morning. Caught the one swarm early at farm, moved off next week. Reducer had been pulled out like skunks were pestering it. Made 3 early splits, 2 queened, 1 did not. Shook it out and it combined with others. 1 going like gangbusters, added another super. Other 2 slow, need a new queen.

That is the St Francis River there. Castor River would be next stop to the north, direct water link to Mingo swamp. Up the river to my creek.

Funny this comes up. I was at the Johnsonville Civil War site on the TN river last Saturday at New Johnsonville. They claim to have the biggest collection of shipwrecks. It was a major stopping point for the Naval traffic and a famous Nathan Bedford Forest battle site. The town flooded with KY Dam in 1944. We toured the earthworks and museum. https://tnstateparks.com/parks/johnsonville

They found another below the Wappappello Dam. Probably walked over from Mingo. I will post pics when they invade the farm ponds. Grinnel that walks. https://mdc.mo.gov/newsroom/mdc-confirms-fourth-invasive-northern-snakehead-captured-missouri

You are an obsessive collector when you lock on to something....

Don't they have regs for importing invasive species. I think there is already a worm running amoke rooting out the native species. https://mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/field-guide/jumping-worms Growing up, I would collect nightcrawlers by the hundreds and sell to the bait stores on Wappappello Lake for beer and gas money. There was an abandoned section of road bed along 67 highway that you could pull the turf up alongside the pavement and pick them up easily. When that did not work, I would dig them in the river bottoms along the St. Francois. For fishing, I kept a buried stock tank and a refrigerator filled with compost for my personal stock. The nightcrawlers I collected were pointed on both ends and about the 8 inches long. Many fish went into the freezer with them.

Only had the one hive swarm here, and it moved on after a week of skunks bothering it at farm. 2 out of 3 splits queened themselves and I have 5 hives now.

The European ones look like the red wigglers at Wally World. Nightcrawlers look like small eyeless snakes and are for Cats and larger fish.

Grandson was using red wigglers for bluegill this weekend. I prefer mealworms, tougher and less messy. Wiggles are on top of worm cooler at Walmart, night crawlers inside cooler with mealworms and wax worms

You might just sleep thru the night and wake up with a damp bed....

Not much around here, few broken limbs and power lines. Came thru Sikeston yesterday and one tornado went down the main street thru commercial district in the morning. Most of town without power. Second round yesterday evening died on the vine about 50 miles west of me. But, it has made a mess. Wide spread damage all over many states.

CPAP goes out and you can't sleep. Heard that one last weekend from all my buddies that were plugged in all nite to sleep. One even noted that I did not snore any more when I sleep. Radiation cured that, screwed up my airways. And took off those extra pounds on my belly.........

Its all of those Herons carrying the stuff into new area on their feet. Someone need to get them in check and the plant stuff would stop.....

Send a pic to the MDC, I think they have an invasive species contact. https://mdc.mo.gov/trees-plants/invasive-plants

They were already petering out at the farm this week. Seems like they have a short above ground life cycle.

Looks like a Merc 4 stroker hanging off a toon to me. He loves those things.....

That one is not in the Kama Sutra manual.

My vacations are weekend before or after a summer holiday, or off season before Memorial Day and after Labor Day. That time in August between school start and Labor Day is good. Last weekend on Spring River, one other RV and 6 or 8 campsites. Memorial weekend was booked solid. I will be on MDC ponds this weekend for bluegill. Looks like solid rain all week anyway and everything is muddy.

Maybe even 13 or 17 years ago?
