I had a yellow jacket hit me in the lower eyelid several weeks ago.  I found the nest very quickly...they did not survive for long.  :mad:   I've seen a few more dragonflies around here than normal, but not that many more....

  There is a lot of disagreement on that score...the last article I read said the gag order had indeed been imposed, despite many articles stating to the contrary.  Depends upon what the meaning of "is" is, I suppose....  :)

Welcome to the forum and to Tennessee!

  Oregon...bakers fined $135,000 and placed under a gag order by the Oregon Civil Rights Commission (IIRC)....

I believe he is considering a run for the presidency in 2020 and a cabinet post in 2016.... 

  That has been my impression also.

I saw in another story covering this EPA report that the report had also highlighted the effects of grilling and barbecues on the atmosphere.    IF anything were to happen, it would likely not be an outright ban on such activities.  EPA regulations of particulate matter would instead be set low enough that the only way for communities to meet them would be to ban activities like fireworks and grilling.  "Hey, we're not banning anything; that's your local government doing the banning."   Maybe I need to get my tinfoil hat out...but given what I've seen the last several years, I'm not willing to bet it will never happen....

  Ah, I see.  Also, to correct my previous post, the flags will fly at half-staff in Tennessee until Friday at sundown for the five servicemen.  I thought the order had begun on last Friday, but new information stated it began today.

  Governor Haslam ordered it for Tennessee...through Thursday at sundown, IIRC.  Friday was the first day of five; one day for each of the servicemen who lost their lives.

  Well, there you go again...making sense and all.   Very frustrating, and very true.

  I'm surprised it took that long....  :wall:

Take a look at Metalife to see if they might help:   http://www.mahovskysmetalife.com/   They list bluing among their options, but they are best known for their hard chromium finishes.

  As I understand it, she had managed to slip one into her purse, then handed the purse to her husband with the comment, "I believe we have something in here we can give him," or words to that effect.
