They are loud but always present in Atlanta. In more rural areas it can be deafening. My kids were asking what the loud noise was at a rest stop last year. They fly all over my backyard and leave their shells as they grow. Their flying alon

The problem is that countries lack basic infrastructure such as sanitation. People and illegal dump trucks throw trash into the rivers or right beside it. If the companies are making recyclable products then the problem is disposal. There a

My sources say FWC and NOAA fisheries have tested the water 165 times since last fall and sent 52 fish to a university in South Alabama for testing. In my experience FWC doesn’t play around but that doesn’t mean they are immune to pressure
