https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/34-16-17 "34-16-17. Failure to dispose of dead animal as petty offense. Whenever the owner and the person in charge of any unburied dead animal shall fail to burn or bury or cause the same to be burned or buried, or otherwise dispose of such body or cause the same to be buried in accordance with laws, rules, and regulations as required by §§ 34-16-14 to 34-16-16, inclusive, he shall have committed a petty offense for each dead body so left unburned or unburied or otherwise disposed of."

She broke SD law if she left the bodies in the open.

I have clicked on it, and I will definitely read it. Thanks for the recommendation.

And he's quoting Tim! Which I didn't notice at first. LOL.

The piece quotes Tom Holland. Who is Tim? The piece was very interesting, and it's related to some issues that I've been thinking about--still in the consultation phase cogitation phase.

There's a link to our Tim Miller at Bulwark right above this: "1. God Shed His Wrath On Thee Mike Johnson, the new speaker of the House, might represent the party of Great Patriots™ but he sure doesn’t seem to think America is that great. " It's from Tim's article on Triad dated 11/20/23.

Mark wasn't always a Catholic, so he's got quite an extensive background.

Thank Google! A historian's or any other researcher's godsend. It amazes me what I can find without spending literally years in a library researching often esoteric facts. Yeah, there's garbage too. But for straight forward facts, like laws of various states about all kinds of things to the daily weather in 1949 in any state of the Union (and foreign places as well) to how long to drive old non-highway roads in 1955 to how many cow-calf pairs on 10,000 acres using rotational daily grazing to passenger-cargo freighters rooms in 1949 to whatever (almost) my head desires . . . And it's free. Hell, I'd even pay for it, like I do for Newspapers.com for hundreds of towns/cities papers back to almost any year I want.

I think it's kind of like dog training. Some of us can get Google to do tricks and some of us not so much. My current favorite research assistant is Microsoft Copilot located in the upper right-hand corner of Edge. Sometimes you have to ask a question several different ways to get what you're looking for. When I was doing a research project on the early 20th century, I used newspaper.com very frequently.

I fell for newspapers.com when I started researching life in 1949 US for a story I was thinking of. I couldn't believe what I kept finding. There are gaps, but for a slice of life on food prices, house prices, ads, heck, almost anything, it's heaven. Also pinterest has tons of info as well. As for google, I can honestly say I've never been disappointed. Sometimes, okay a lot of times, the sheer volume of info out there leads me to research overload. :-) And I have to consciously tell my brain to stop already!

I don't know if she did or not. It just seems in character.

She's still "editing" the book, maybe the whole thing will be whitewashed. But she seems to be doubling down on how bad the dog "really was" in several recent articles. Now the dog is a "vicious" animal that she let run loose and didn't bother to train or restrain. She's stupid enough not to realize she's the one who's looking inept.
