Back when the XL Pipeline was first announced that it would be cutting a trench through the Nebraska sandhills region I was against it.. I didn't like the idea of this pipeline going through this area mostly because if it leaks (it would never leak) it could taint the water supply for everyone who uses the water.. Truth is it would screw up more than that.. And this week we had a pipeline burst in Arkansas and in a residential area.. I read the comments on it and there were those who said "I'd go out and pick it up".. With what exactly would you pick it up with and do what with it once you did?? There is no good that would come from the pipeline going through except it would cause a spike in employment for a while and not very many jobs.. The jobs created would be specialist positions such as those who already know how to install a pipeline and these are people who know what they are doing (I would hope).. You wouldn't want cheap labor guessing they are working on it right..
The three sisters project.. A few years ago we got a seed set and idea to try this three sisters.. And then just yesterday we got another set in the mail to do this again.. I was going to plant pumpkins and still plan to.. But the three sisters project will be done as well.. Should be interesting.. Last time I did this the corn grew great but the beans were sparse.. The squash ended up being fairly good as well.. Took me a while to remember it.. So I'll get things going here in May..
