Did not have a clue about the registered Saguaros. Is that kind of like registering your hand guns - cuz they're kind of lethal weapons or sumthin?
Oh - and my kids never ran through the house either. They never wrote on walls either. Or climbed up on the countertops. or.. or... or....
uh huh...
Oh, yeah--it got dang cold in the desert last week.
Interesting fact about the tapeworms. That could win me a money some day. :)
And aren't the cactuses registered to keep people from stealing them? I seem to remember hearing that at some point.
Yep - it's illegal to go out to the desert and dig up a saguaro to plant in your front yard. So they have to make sure you obtain them legally.
