[TheForge] Fox News OT

[Mark A. Pesetsky]

I know...Those things are out of control. I also have a friend whose sister started one of those "Geese Chasing" companies using border collies. Take the dogs to various locations and let the dogs scare them off as often as need be...Good money in that!!

Well, I have a friend who could use a goose hunter.  One time the geese just followed his rows of corn seedlings, eating every one.
