  • 5/4/14 11:10:38 AM -- Potomac, MD, U.S.A  --  "Deers have eaten all the holly up to the browse line," says Peggy Dennis of Potomac, MD. She has been treated twice for Lyme Disease. "I've been battling deer for 25 years," Dennis says. The question of how to handle these "nuisance species" is difficult and many times expensive. Encounters with wildlife can be dangerous in the case of deer-vehicle collisions or just bothersome.  Lethal methods of elimination can be controversial, so as American cities and neighborhoods continue to sprawl many communities are faced with the issue of controlling species that may have nowhere else to go.<br />

  • photo by Matt Roth.Thursday, October 4, 2012..Eileen Lewis, a widow from Catonsville, Maryland, USA, tends to her plants in her sun room Thursday, October 4, 2012. To keep costs down and stave off the potential effects of loneliness, she uses the Baltimore Maryalnd-based St. Ambrose Homesharing program to find roommates. While she says she appreciates the company, she admits she does enjoy her home on the occasions she has it all to herself...Homesharing pairs two parties based on various levels of compatibility and offers tenants and home owners the chance at reduced living expenses. Potential tenants go through background checks. Eileen Louis currently homeshares with two people, Ben Ware, a student at the Community College of Baltimore County, Catonsville and Carol Sutton, a friend of Lewis's for 15 years. "I have a home in Pennsylvania that I couldn't sell," says Sutton.  ..

The following day an Eagle Scout candidate will finish building the gardening area by putting up the fencing up to guard against varmints. Students were selective on which plants to grow, so they could, as Ms. Rouse put it," eat the fruit of their labors."

His Excellency, Kevin Baugh, President of the Republic of Molossia, waters the plants in Republic Square. His "work pants" are his old ACU (Army Combat Uniform) pants from when he was Sergeant 1st Class in the U.S. Army. He always wears those pants when he works on and improves Molossia. I remember when he told me about the pants thinking there was some kind of cool symbolism there. …but I also remember being really really thirsty and sweaty.
