 Re: TEXAS -- Bays and Bayous Cleanup Event
This ain't no Louisiana thing it is a Texas thing....
Hey anyone know the difference between a TEXAS ZOO and a LOUISIANA ZOO ????
TEXAS ZOO - they have the critter in a special enclosure or habitat with a little plaque giving the Common Name - Scientific Name - and Habitat statistics for the critter....
LOUISIANA ZOO - they have the critter in a special enclosure or habitat with a little plaque giving the Common Name - Scientific Name - and the best three ways to cook and serve that there critter over rice....

 Re: TEXAS -- Bays and Bayous Cleanup Event
This is a good cause and whether your able to make it this weekend to a cleanup location or not just do your part by not littering and picking up any trash you may see while riding around.
It doesn't matter if your in Texas or Louisiana we all want our waters beautiful and unharmed for generations to come.
Giga, I'd meet you out there but I'm committed to a Charity Cook Off Saturday AM.
I'll be in the area late that afternoon or perhaps Sunday.

 Re: TEXAS -- Bays and Bayous Cleanup Event
How come when I throw an old Bar-B-Q pit in da water it is called litter but when da government sinks an old battle ship in da water it is called artificial habitat?

 Re: Texas - Bays and Bayous Cleanup
Just got back home from our local cleanup....
Had kids bussed in from 3 school districts - Cub, Boy & Girl Scout troups and over 300 people involved at our location alone.... Best part was the kids outnumbered (and outworked) the adults - learning hopefully a lifetime lesson on litter prevention and to put "Waste in it's Place" !!!
