it right in the middle and they don't even have any care for othersok he was right but i also found a strange looking plant no not this one this one they are all over the placebut why people are people and they chose to do what they want regardless of the signs posted its kinda bad but it just falls on people's moral ethics and values on whether they want that stuff to come back on them.did i mention she is a professional dog walker? i even ran into a visitor from across the pond é ((so you walk through here, do you find yourself dodging doggie land mines)) yes we had a couple of incidents further up the hike. so it turns out those plants aren't plants at all they are doggie bags and not the type you find in a restaurant and guess what if you're going to put it in a dog bag in front of somebody like a good person then just leave the dog bag for nature to take care of that even actually worse so there what
