The federal government is looking into the serious issue of the “conflict”
between humans and elephants. To help out on that important issue, the
government generously gave $3.8 million of your tax dollars to study the
matter.
The princely sum was awarded in 2011 and 2012 for the African Elephant
Conservation grant and was sent to “any African government agency

发帖数: 609 | 4 去年随便种了两头elephant，因为看到似乎有蒜薹的样子。
我在7b，同期的别的蒜还没有窜，这个elephant蒜已经窜完了。
今天收了6根，称了下，240g。
炒着吃蒜味小，这个料到了的，因为elephant蒜本身蒜味就淡。
甜甜的，很好吃。
等今年收了了蒜种，冬天还会种些。 |

But, as a Chinese, I can not help thinking the potential negative

发帖数: 3412 | 37 why negative?
should bring positive changes.
Many Chinese dun associate Xiang Ya with elephant getting murdered, but
thought they are from animals died of natural causes.
It is also part of our culture for thousands of years to value such things,
however younger generations, like Yao Ming, will gradually abandon the idea
of Xiang Ya.
Americans are paying tax dollars to fund the Uganda military, which
according to the article, could be involved in the massive killing. |

Cage The Elephant
Ain't No Rest For The Wicked lyrics
I was walking down the street
When out the corner of my eye,
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
She said I never seen a man,
Who looks so all alone,
Could you use a little company?
If you could pay the right price,
Your evening will be nice,
Or you can go and send me on my way,
I said you're such a sweet young thing,
Why'd you do this to yourself?
She looked at me and this is what she said.

一种颜色都愈加阴暗。
