North Carolina........
Well it can even be more crazy than that...
I am living in The Netherlands. About half of our country lies meters under sea-level.
So are we. I am located on what is called "the new land". This land was taken from the sea in only the previous century, in the decade around 1942. We are surrounded and safeguarded by and fully dependent of dikes....
Until recently (2004) we also where not permitted to kill a single mole......!!
See the location on Google earth etc..
I have had a few moles in my Zen-garden ...... you would not believe the damage such small, little, tiny animal (monster see:
Moles) can bring in only a single night. I am still trying to find out what a Taoist or Buddhist does in these situations. I think I have hit a taboo with that.
