    I don't see the ownership of the woods being
    relevant to the central issue, which I figure
    is that of privacy. If there's a trespass issue,
    State-owned land, federal land, private land etc all have different rules. If you're in a public park it's a different ball game than if you're on
    your own property.

    But all are secondary to privacy rights, if
    the parties are equal (if it were government
    actually doing the surveillance, that's
    another issue altogether).

    that's secondary, unless possibly the drones were
    owned by the property owner. By the way, did you
    know that unless you own the air rights to your
    property, it may be illegal to shoot down an
    intruding drone. It's not clear where your
    jurisdiction ends and the FAA's begins, though.
    I wonder what the law would make of a trained hawk nailing the thing.

    Same as a trained firearm.

    Not on my part. I was of course an active
    participant and furthermore staged reenactments
    in the year after with no untoward effects.
    Although one, staged at my friend Rosemary's
    house, was respectfully requested to be done
    outdoors, so the target was the stop sign on
    the next corner.
    Stop, in the name of science?

    Before you break my olfactory apparatus.

    Music critics, as best I can tell, are cut from the same cloth.
    Musicians
    and composers meanwhile, are another matter.
    By and large that appears to be true, but offhand
    one name comes to mind - Nicolas Slonimsky. Also
    to a lesser extent his pupil Joel Sheveloff. Both
    did criticism as a sidelight, I admit.
    That makes me think it's how they became critics. It may be part of the
    job description.

    Though one has to think that the author of
    "music that stinks to the ear" had to have
    a bit of a perverse sense of humor.

    Green sangria sounds...painful.
    Just close your eyes and think of Ireland.
    No thanks; as someone with a lot of English ancestry it would probably poison me anyway.
    You will be glad to know that the stuff has
    returned to its normal pineapple-yellow hue.
    That sounds slightly less lethal. Not more palatable, but less lethal.

    Didn't try either, though it's not clear
    that either would have poisoned me at all.

    might be worth asking someone in another country.
    If anyone from another country chimes in, I'll
    be happy; I'm not going out of my way to answer
    the question "who wants to be an idiot?"
    I've never let that question get in the way before....

    Eh, one uses such when one has to.

    Title: Easter Mints Kids Can Make
    Categories: Candies, Kids
    Servings: 1

    1/3 c Soft butter
    1/3 c Light corn syrup
    1/2 ts Salt
    1 ts Flavoring
    3 1/2 c ( 1 lb ) sifted
    -confectioner's sugar
    Large bowl
    Wooden spoon
    Paper plates
    Pencils

    This is a no-cook recipe the children can mix with their hands. Flavor it
    with any of the liquid flavorings in the supermarket, such as strawberry
    and lemon. If you want, you can instead divide it into three portions and
    add a few drops of food coloring to tint it yellow, red, and green. The
    knead a small amount of flavoring into each one. This recipe makes about
    1
    1/2 lbs of candy.

    Help the children measure all the ingredients into the large bowl. They
    can
    take turns stirring it with the wooden spoon until it becomes too stiff.
    Then they can knead it with their hands. They should continue kneading
    until the dough is smooth.

    Give each child a paper plate and a pencil. Tell them to turn their
    plates
    OVER and write their names on the Bottom to prevent pencil lead from
    getting on their mints. Help them hold their pencils correctly. Make sure
    they use upper and lower case letters.

    Give each child a portion of dough on his or her plate. The children can
    pinch off pieces, roll them into balls, and press them lightly with a
    fork
    to make a fancy butter mint. Children who cannot roll the candy into
    balls
    can make snakes, cut the snakes into pieces, and press the pieces with a
    fork. They might eat the pieces with the fork, but that's ok too.

    Leave the mints on the plates and refrigerate them for 30 minutes, until
    they become firm. Easter Mints taste even better the second day, if you
    can
    keep everyone from eating them all on the first day. Cover with plastic
    wrap and keep them in the refrigerator. Source unknown

    If you're in a public park it's a different ball game than if you're

    another issue altogether).

    Then you have bigger problems than privacy.

    property, it may be illegal to shoot down an
    intruding drone. It's not clear where your
    jurisdiction ends and the FAA's begins, though.
    I wonder what the law would make of a trained hawk nailing the thing.

    Same as a trained firearm.

    You take your chances with eagles, wild hawks, owls, etc

    outdoors, so the target was the stop sign on
    the next corner.
    Stop, in the name of science?

    Before you break my olfactory apparatus.

    And before your eyes are watering like you've been maced?

    one name comes to mind - Nicolas Slonimsky. Also
    to a lesser extent his pupil Joel Sheveloff. Both

    Sounds like. Classical music being "serious", perhaps they generally
    thought humor ought not to factor into a review?

    You will be glad to know that the stuff has
    returned to its normal pineapple-yellow hue.
    That sounds slightly less lethal. Not more palatable, but less
    lethal.

    Didn't try either, though it's not clear
    that either would have poisoned me at all.

    Even if it did resemble anti-freeze.

    be happy; I'm not going out of my way to answer
    the question "who wants to be an idiot?"
    I've never let that question get in the way before....

    Eh, one uses such when one has to.

    Some days a woman's got to do what a woman's got to do. Men too, but I'm
    not equipped to speak for them.
