When it snows for four or five months straight, it makes it difficult/unappealing to get out there and pick up after your dog.

In northern Idaho I think the going rate for pick up is around $28 an hour with a $28 minimum.

I am not a lazy person, but $28 is an attractive price rather than spend several weekends cleaning up after each winter. Yet, I do it all myself.

That was no a translation, but a mutilation of whatever it said in the original column. It wasn't even worth posting here...

Having blown up thosands of pounds of concrete, steal, and timber myself, I can tell you that his claim that a fingernail sized piece of blubber from a 1000 yards away could kill you is completely overblown. It wouldn't feel much worse than a big lazy raindrop hitting you on the side of the head at tha distance.

This guy must be the biggest PU$$! to have surived the whale incident. The adjectives coward and sensationalist also come to mind.

Yeah, right, the car was flattened, and the sound coming from the flattening was that of an explosion... Amazing how none of that was documented even though a camera was present.

By the sound of it, this idiot survived a roadside IED in Baghdad. Which is probably where the whale was blown up in the first place in his mind. This guy is a TOOL.
