Lioness on the loose in Berlin?!

They now say it was a boar.

Aren't there always boars on the loose in Berlin?

[The Brain]

Different spelling.

Yes

So Latin honors, never knew about them, just something I heard about in American political TV and films, well reading on wiki about a politician I clicked on the link to read about the system.

It must be BS right?

Because I went and found my exam and degree certificates and saw something very like this:



So on my CV I could add 'magna cum laude' to that degree?

I tree in my little way, more wildflowers now grow in my lawn (my simple rule is if it produces flowers it gets to grow), fallen leaves are put around plant beds to both cut down on  watering and to encourage insects to make their home there.  I am still working on plant selection but profess has been made toward bee, butterfly and hummingbird friendly plants.

It is rewarding when you see the increase in bees, butterflies and birds on the property

Yeah... I'm doing more or less the same, except more lazily

Basically I'm just letting things grow as they will and leaving it at that.

BTW, Morning Glory produces flowers. Are you giving that free reign too?

[crazy canuck]

Morning glory kills the other flowering plants so gets sacrificed for the greater good.
