WATER being cut off is a constant problem in the locality. Everyone should know, operating washing machines and electric showers, are a No No, when water is off. We have so many wet days, a barrel under the downpipe, would go a long way in getting you out of an emergency. The older generation, having children going to the well with a bucket and the younger ones with a sweet gallon, was always part of a day’s work. Turning the water back on, with full pressure and air in pipes, is a recipe for another break.
WASP: Female wasps inject their eggs into the caterpillars, number of eggs injected is about 20 but can be as many as 50. These eggs hatch into maggots that eat their host. The entire cycle from the wasp egg to the adult taking flight takes less than one month.

Ballylongford Mill is a collection of early nineteenth century industrial buildings on two-thirds of an acre in the middle of the village of Ballylongford, which comprises the old working port of the village.
It includes the five storey Mill, originally built as a grain drying store in 1846, the Creamery and Famine Hospital which both appear on the 1851 map of the village, and a large buried eighteenth century boat dock in the centre of the site, which will be excavated and reinstated as a dock for wooden boats. All of the buildings have been disused for a number of years, but work is about to start on the restoration of the buildings and walled yards which make up the old port of Ballylongford.

DAIL REPORT: Dáil Éireann – Volume 11 – 29 April, 1925
Mr. J. CROWLEY: I support Deputy Baxter’s motion, and I would press upon the Executive the great necessity for immediate relief to farmers who have lost stock through disease. I am in a position to know as much as, or more than, any person, perhaps, in this Assembly, about mortality amongst cattle in Kerry, West Limerick and parts of Cork, but particularly in North Kerry, because I happen to be a veterinary surgeon and an inspector of dairies and cowsheds. Our firm are probably the largest buyers of hides and skins in County Kerry. I have been twenty years veterinary surgeon and about thirty years at the other business, and I can say confidently that during the time I remember—for the last thirty or thirty-five years—I have not seen as great a mortality amongst cattle as for the last three or four months. Thousands of yearlings have died and hundreds of milch cows are dying now. Many small uneconomic holders who were depending on the little money that a few yearlings—two, three or five—may bring at this time of the year, to pay rates and annuities, now cannot pay. Unless the State aids them, I can foresee an extremely busy time for the sub-sheriffs of County Kerry and other counties. In many cases, I believe, they will return: “Nothing to seize.” I believe that is the return just now in many cases in Kerry, because many of the small farmers have absolutely no stock left.
I can quote from statistics as to the execution of court judgments. During [511] the quarter ended March, 1925, in County Kerry there were, according to the return, 374 judgments executed. That fact speaks for itself. I know, in some cases in North Kerry, where the sub-sheriff seized the last cow belonging to a poor man. I saw him take from a small farmer in Listowel six cows out of ten for rates. I had myself to come to the rescue of some small uneconomic holders down there. I will quote the names and addresses of persons who have sustained losses in my district. These are cases that I can prove:—
Daniel Foran, Coolard, Listowel, lost 11 cows out of 14; lost all calves.
Patrick Kennelly, Dromin, Listowel, lost 8 cows out of 14; lost 8 young cattle out of 8.
John Lyons, Knockburrane, Lixnaw, lost 9 cows out of 24; lost 26 young cattle out of 26.
Michael Purtill, Kilcolgan, Ballylongford, lost 6 cows out of 12; lost 6 heifers out of 6; lost 4 calves out of 4.
Mrs. Bridget Kennelly, Moybella, Liselton, lost 4 cows out of 10; lost 12 young cattle out of 12.
Maurice Carmody, Skehenerin, Listowel, lost 7 cows out of 7.
- O’Connor, Derry, Listowel, lost 23 cows out of 35.
- Lynch, Bunagare, Listowel, lost 4 cows out of 4.
- O’Connor, Kilmorna, lost 22 yearlings, 6 two-year-olds, 2 cows.
- O’Connor, Kealid, Newtownsandes, lost 11 cows, 10 yearlings and 6 two-year-olds.
These are only a few of the many cases that I can prove.

UFO: First: The Department of Defense, in an unprecedented move, spoke publicly about UFOs. That’s nice of them. But UFOs are literally unidentified flying objects, nothing more. “The Pentagon acknowledges the existence of UFOs” does not mean “The Pentagon unveils their secret info on aliens.” It means “the Pentagon admits that they have not been able to identify 100% of stuff sighted in the sky. Of course they haven’t been able to identify everything. The only weird part was their refusal to admit that for so long.
The Pentagon has now switched to a new term instead of UFO: UAP, or unidentified aerial phenomena. This term means exactly the same thing as unidentified flying object, but they had to switch because people wrongly think UFO means “stealthy extraterrestrial.” Unfortunately, the switch isn’t really working. Instead of a new but accurate term, people think UAP is a euphemism for UFO, think that the new term is still about aliens but seeks to downplay that fact.

CO2; Prof. Allen from the University of Oxford
A herd of 10 cows generates about 1 tonne of methane per year, which, under standard carbon-footprint calculation, suggests that this is equivalent to 28 tonnes of CO2 per year, according to Prof. Allen.
“Whereas, if (like the Irish average) that herd was built up over the last century, it is only causing an ongoing warming equivalent to about 8 tonnes of CO2 per year, a factor of three to 4 times less than 28 ———————————-
