Apparently there are a lot of areas that were derisively known as Billy Goat Acres.
"Japanese agriculturalists developed and subdivided local vegetable gardens and the area was nicknamed "Gardens of Bell" after the nearby city of Bell. The city was also derisively known as "Billy Goat Acres" after the "Okies," farm families from Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, and Missouri who migrated to the area during the Great Depression."
Sticky situation...
Cleanup crews used salt water from a fireboat to wash away the molasses and sand to absorb it,[17] and the harbor was brown with molasses until summer.[18] The cleanup in the immediate area took weeks,[19] with several hundred people contributing to the effort,[7]: 132–134, 139 [15] and it took longer to clean the rest of Greater Boston and its suburbs. Rescue workers, cleanup crews, and sight-seers had tracked molasses through the streets and spread it to subway platforms, to the seats inside trains and streetcars, to pay telephone handsets, into homes,[6][7]: 139 and to countless other places. It was reported that "Everything that a Bostonian touched was sticky."
We used to have something like this in town. It was called 'The Autorama'...Blackie Gejeian use d to host it. All cars were welcome, some old, some new. But most of them had been modified/tricked out. Roadsters, Harley motorcycles, oldies but goodies from the 40s 50'60s. Fun times.
This picture does not show real white bats.
Thank you for the clarification - when looking at that earlier photo I thought, "Those adorable creatures sure don't look like any bats I've ever seen in person, on tv, or in nature photos."
After learning the three white bat photo wasn't real bats, my skeptical side came out when reading the caption above. Turns out this one is true - and also that the flooding prevents pests, so rice fields don't need pesticides or herbicides if the fields are flooded.
This begs the question, what's the source of the antibiotic-resistant bacteria? It wouldn't occur naturally in UK seawater.
there's a lot of poop in the ocean. Are we saying that surfers are full of sh*t?
I assume there's something in the poop that gets absorbed by the surfers.
I meant, what's the original source of the bacteria itself? The surfers probably ingest it when swallowing a little seawater. Unbroken skin is a pretty good barrier.
It appears the surfers weren't all using the same beach or snack shack.
Nor do I, but DuckDuckGo knew just where to send me on my quest.
