Suburban sprawl continues unabated... look at Lancaster or Cumberland Counties as examples.

This is a prime example of why donating to non-profit conservation organizations is key to preserving productive farmland. Conservation Districts do some protection of ag lands but their requirements are really strict. For instance, you can have a handful of applicants that are nearly identical but if one is adjacent to an already preserved farm, then that applicant is the most likely to get the preservation dollars. The farm located next to an existing development is least likely to be preserved, even tho its preservation is most likely to keep it from being developed. At the same time, that big paycheck from the developer is hard to turn down. For older farmers, that paycheck funds their retirement.

These folks have been working on wildlife corridors for years. You'd be surprised at some of the partnerships. Audobon and Ducks Unlimited, for instance.

>Not the bars fault. I don't care if she was visibility intoxicated or not.

Not how these things are viewed. The bar has an affirmative legal responsibility to the patron, especially if visibly drunk.

Yet another drunk filing a dram shop action... when will bars learn to stop over-serving patrons? The liability policy probably will cover whatever this is settled for and the barfly will continue to be served as if nothing ever happened. And so it goes...

Most of PA was cleared of the large trees in its forests by about 1900. Folks thought the supply was endless... until it wasn't. Took real effort to grow back the trees.

Now we've got insects and fungus removing certain species. Chestnuts and elms are mostly gone. Ash are almost gone. Hemlocks are in danger. And now chestnut oaks are under attack by fungus. Which tree is next?

Now do one with each of the 67 county seats. :-)

New Castle was at one point a major industrial center. Home of the hot dog and fireworks, located just across the border from Youngstown. Folks should know it not only for those but also for its historical value and as a center of a robust Amish/agricultural economy.

ggrrrooooossssssss

Perry County cousins, yes.

Yeah, for sure. Tell him to get his arse off your couch!

20 years old but no job...

I hear the Army is looking for a few good men.

I aint eatin' no flipping groundhog.

Gus cannot be trusted, either. He says to scratch it off and you will be a winner, but at the end of the day, you know he's just hoping for another 6 weeks of winter.

Have Phil win the lottery... then he and that other annoying groundhog can ride off into the sunset together, forever in love.

Remember the stuffed Garfield butts hanging out of the trunks?

No one gives a shart what happens to Bambi...

OMG, whatever did you do to Bambi??

Seems like a good time to take a dip at Cobscook to warm up a bit...

Unable to counter my specific comments, you insert gratuitous commentary that supports only your narrative. I need not temper my comments just because you want me to state something different. Nor does what your latest comment subjugate my point to your narrative.

Fact: the lack of competition places UGI in a position where they, and they alone, can determine the market price. Is it a monopoly? Technically, no. You do not deny that point - the lack of competition - when you describe the propane situation.

>keep pretending that ugi is inflating prices because they have a mono

2 things in your sentence which I did not state. Why be such a dishonest dingo? Is UGI paying you to spam the sub with your garbage?

>propane is not regulated because there is no monopoly on i

Is that why propane is not regulated?

>you've dropped your monopoly angle?

Was that a word I used?

oh

Ah, so, you've dropped your propane angle? A fuel not regulated by the PUC, btw.

>my natural gas bill

No, we are not discussing in general "heating fuels." Natural gas is pretty specific and it is piped by UGI thru pipes placed by UGI to houses occupied by UGI customers in a relatively large area serviced exclusively by UGI.
