This park has several prairie areas that are burned by city crews seasonally. We were doing pickup after the burn. <br/><br/>Apparently a number of dog owners think it’s fine to toss their poop bags into the tall grass. <br/><br/>The bags of poop don’t burn, so we had to pick up a fair number of them. 2026-01-10T19:10:45Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspe5xq6z3kkks5zfcx0plm9pum2w2qlyect868huxkvmyn8q9m9sczyp7nsj5760enlt79h7j3evqxsq3e0ycg6gshnwkjx73txu2ycvsekmy46mp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgtvu6yalwdmmykhm9kqfpv03ceqev5ph2gs72nt6kzlylhlyvgpqtg5tke'>nevent1q…5tke</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Seek (an iOS app) identifies it as California Goosefoot. <br/><br/><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitum_californicum">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitum_californicum</a> 2026-01-02T18:55:15Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8qyfn79z6u3umdu00uqhw8phgpdur536rpua33uuvg7nak2utw6czyp7nsj5760enlt79h7j3evqxsq3e0ycg6gshnwkjx73txu2ycvsek65wzae In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxl8g5mryepzss8gzh4xlegcdgq8qqqkmpu59pg7ye3flqq7ftudsd88y6h'>nevent1q…8y6h</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>In the 70s, my dad worked at a place that used undeordorized tallow in some of their animal feed products.

The lists would come in overnight, and were output on a really nasty grade of yellow roll paper. Almost like kids construction paper. <br/><br/>Every morning the lists would be split amongst several of us, and we’d head to the back and check for any titles. <br/><br/>We had the teletype-branded version of this machine when I started there. At some point they switched to using a telex emulator that ran on a PC. <br/><br/>As the guy who could drive the manual transmission store van, I had to haul the old unit to an offsite storage area, where it sat and collected dust for years.
