But please confine them to the pond. I love sitting or lying down in the
tall grass on a warm summer day, experiencing nothing but green vegetation
and sky.

We environmentalists are looking for natural solutions, not to depend on
that damned technology, so that's why I suggested alligators rather than
thumbtacks.
