First place I go every morning, last place I go every night, and many stops in between. I'm crazy about this site.
Anyway, good morning, fellow DUers!

This is a diverse place and we absolutely welcome one who would choose a Wisconsin naturalist for their user name.
Perhaps we'll cross paths in Sand County one day.

(45,274 posts)There is no county named Sand County.
There are a number of counties in WI (e.g. Juneau, Adams) with very sandy & unproductive soil, that are called "sand counties."
That's what ol' Aldo was referring to in the title of "Sand County Almanac." He was describing, not naming, his setting.

(5,075 posts)they are all soon to be renamed Frac County.
The sand is being hauled out at an accelerating rate by the trainload.
Aldo would cry then scream then YouTube the destruction of our resources.
Jackpine Radical
(45,274 posts)Even the wingnuts around here are all NIMBY on sand mining. It is truly terrible-wrecks the air & the water at the same time.

(5,075 posts)My mother lives on top of a huge sand hill.
I fear people will be snookered by the promises of jobs and tax base.

(4,835 posts)She will read this so I mustn't say anything to offend her.
One day I was bragging on how much I liked not having dish anymore here at DU and she came home from work pissed at me. She thought WTF a dopple couple; then saw that it was me (I think she's still mad). She misses her football.
We usually talk about threads when we have time together. One time I was reading one of her posts where she had responding to the same person that I had. I noticed it when we were out at dinner together.

(309 posts)My husband thought I, and everyone here, were crazy lefties. He didn't understand that DU kept me sane. It took a few years, but now when I come to the computer after he's been online, DU is always one of the windows he has open!! He finally gets it. :0)
