This could be a good start for newbies. A Bee smoker is used to calm honeybees by blowing smoke into their beehive. This is especially used before doing any handling on the hive. Cool..

There are no Green cars there at present. So many people ask me about my Prius - how I like it, what gas milage I get, etc. I thought it would be good to show it to interested people. Kirk Clennan, Leander's Economic Director puts it on in Old Town Leander. I am hoping to be there for one of more of these dates: 9/26, 10/31, 11/28. The next date is Sunday 8/29 but I will be at Las Casas Verdes solar community in South Austin.

I live in AZ and the city gov's are even giving homeowners cash/tax incentives for switching to low water landscape solutions. I know AZ is a little different than most states in that we're ALWAYS low on water. My recco is to check out artificial turf- It's not the same stuff as the green carpet you see on the Brady Bunch. On so many levels it has great benefits to it- No chemicals, no watering and very low maintenance. I completely agree with your post.
