Not every state. This is Texas. I'm in California and my kid went to school with shoulder length hair that was half blue. My relatives in Texas kept asking what the school was doing about it. There's nothing on the books about hair and the principal said it looked cool. Hair has always been a control issue in bible thumping communities, which I thankfully am no longer around.

From my experience:

Gently let your husband know that if his mom says something negative that he should not pass it along to you. What his mom said did not hurt you until he told you. That's how I taught my kid not to spread gossip.

As for your mother in law, if she comments that something is messy, hand her a broom. That's how I got my certified-clean-freak mom to stop making comments. "Vacuum's in the closet" was another one, but she was my mom, not my MIL, so it wasn't as hard for me. Sooo...have your husband do it. :)

Also non-cartel coyotes rest during the day. I lived in Nevada where coyotes are a given, but never in my life saw one during the day.

My kid is learning to drive and I wanted to rent/get ahold of a manual to teach that too, but nothing doing. You can't find one to rent and I'm not buying a whole car for a few weeks' training.

This sign is close to a machine cleaning trash and other debris from a canal. Snakes accidentally get scooped with the debris and slither over the side.

Black Vulture

Latin name: Coragyps atratus

Unique romantic feature: Fight for fidelity

Where they are found: From the southeastern USA to South America

Size: Length: 22 to 29 inches (56 to 74 cm); Weight: 2.6 to 4.3 pounds (1.18 to 1.95 kg): Wingspan: 4.4 to 5.5 feet (1.34 to 1.68 m)

Diet: Carrion

~~Black vultures prove you don’t have to be beautiful to enjoy a committed, long-term relationship.~~ Um, rude.

Looking dressed more for a funeral than a wedding, these scavenger birds feature all-black plumage with bumpy, featherless grayish-black heads, and short, hooked beaks.

Found in open habitats and along roads from the southeastern United States to South America, black vultures are all about family life. They form bonds that last their whole lives (about 10 years).

That's a good idea.
