California bans hand weeding!!!!!!!!!!!!

It only outlaws requiring laborors to hand weed. It is not a blanket prohibition. Senate Bill 587, sponsored by C-OSHA (that's California-Ocupational Safety and Health Administration). If you wish to weed your garden by hand, you are free to do so.

There is a short handle prohibition for employees in California, just like the ones in Texas, New Mexico and Illinois. The short handle hoe law went into effect in 1975, the short handled tool law went into effect in 1978.

This is all driven by rising medal costs and unemployment costs due to back injuries, both chronic and acute, resulting from laborors staying stooped over for hours on end in the fields.

There is no charcoal grill ban in California. What there actually is, is a prohibition on the old fashioned lighter fluids in the southern coastal counties (LA). The new lighter fluid is lower in VOC.

Right now we are going through a change in the name of our road because it has the word SQUAW in it. So the spineless politicians that bend and bow to every special interest group have decided we need to rename the road. When I was growing up the word SQUAW just meant a female indian, nothing derogatory.

Could I suggest a name for the road?

How's about "Brown Round" road? :>)

The name they decided on is one that I agree with. It is the name of a gentleman that actually lived in the area and owned a grocery store at the intersection of the road and the main highway in the area.

I actually agree with the politicians (yuk). I must be softening up in my senior years.

However, "Famous Dave" (yes, of barbecue sauce fame) has no problem cashing his check for his role as "Assistant Secretary of the Department of the Interior for Indian Affairs". Go figure.
