HIRE A GRINGO - Inide Film

In June I will be making the indie homegrown film, Hire A Gringo. I will go around to day labor sites in Marietta, Smyrna and Dalton, Georgia where people pick up day laborers (most of them illegals) and see if I can get work. Since I am unemployed I'm not actually taking work from anyone, and this is an experiment to see if employers will pick up an american citizen to work, versus picking up immigrants and illegals. Some of the time I will state to the employers that I am a citizen who would like to work, sometimes just approach the vehicles with the rest of the bunch and go from there, and some of the time I will have a sign that says "Hire A Gringo".

No, this is not a slap at immigrants and illegals, simply put, I hear all the time that americans won't do these jobs, because they are either too hard or don't pay enough, or both. Beginning in November 2005, I talked to over 75 employers that use day laborers in a six month period. What I found is rarely do these people hire these laborers for skilled labor, it is not necessarily "hard" strenuous work (though a few were digging ditches, roofing and mixing cement all day, which can be backbreaking), and most of the time the jobs pay $9 or $10 an hour, sometimes more. For flat rate (a whole day's work), most paid $80-100 for 6-8 hours of work. A few of the construction contractors I found would pay $12 an hour and one even said $15 and hour for someone with carpentry skills (which I have to a degree). The least one in speaking to these people pay wise I found, was cutting grass with a push mower at $8 an hour. A few guys said they would like to only pay $5-6 dollars an hour (a landscaper, another a painter), but they said these people you see standing around looking for work as day laborers would not work for that, they usually asked for $9 an hour minimum or better. To someone that has worked, recently, $6 an hour jobs for mid-size US corporations, to hear someone say $9 or $10 an hour labor jobs are ones americans won't do, that sounds like bullshit in mass quantity to me. I'd love to have a job that paid that rate, and I am going to see if americans will help a brother out, or if they would rather hire illegals and immigants, and I aim to find out why this is.

I will be using digital camcorders, 16mm and 8mm cameras, sometimes on spot from cars, and a few times I will use hidden cameras. Any indie filmmakers that would like to help on this project, please get in touch. The finished product will be made available online, and edits will be sent to congress people, the US president, the news media, and other groups of interest.

HIRE A GRINGO!

BROTHER AND SISTER DEER IN THE GARDEN

A Word about Brother and Sister Deer.

The original homeowners of the forrest and field, brother and sister deer can be pesky around gardens. They are, after all, foragers, and your plants are some delicious additives to their plate. Your seeds are good too!

How to keep brother and sister deer somewhat under control? This is easier if there are a good deal of natural stuff they can eat if you have a decent deer population locally. They will eat your plants if food is low, you are near extended patches of forrest, or have certain tasty plants. There are all kinds of folklore as to keeping them away. A few will help, some not so much.

Deer are naturally skittish of the top of the food chain, so your scents will make them uneasy. Here are a few that show promise.

Bathwater. Gardens have to be watered, though bathwater might not be good directly on your plants, better to sling it away into nearby brush and grasses. it is full of human scents off all kinds; oils, hair, skin, bath salts (or things such as shampoo and soap) and quite often other types of better not mentioned bodily fluids. Brother and sister deer want none of that!

Hair. Yup, sprinkled throughout the garden areas, it's full of human scent.

Twisted sage - either cultivated or field (broom) safe works excellent if you break it up with your bands and sprinkle around, especially on top of freshly planted seed beds. The oils and minute chemicals off your hands mixed with the twisted and crushed plant scents gives off human vibes. To a lessor degreen, twisted pine or wheat straw also help. Lots of people use alot of straws in the garden anyway.

Irish Soap. This will work moderately well if hung in whole bars on a roap from a low branch, and, if pounded into chunks, put in a sock or burlap, and also hug. Rain actually helps spread this smell.

Sevin Dust. Bone dust would be my last resort. Lots of people use it but it is a poison. Same with mothballs, definitely don't use mothballs, they kill lots of things.

Lime. Works decent with snakes, brother and sister deer could care less.

Sprinkled beer or wine. Yup, best if you're drinking it also. I have also seen, after drinking beer in the can, crushing the can into the ground around the garden, I've seen this work with packs of deer near a forrest garden.

Last, but not least, human urine works excellent, but of course, ya gotta go 'round the garden! Not so bad if you have secluded plots. LOL!

I've heard of some others, pie tins hung up and glass chimes, both of which have shown promise. I have seen whole gardens decently protected by hanging tins. This is called the appalachin scarecrow. Moonlight glittering (same thing in the mirrored chimes) off the tins unnerves the deer.

Sound devices, except for a whole production of lights and sound, tend to be ignored by the deer after a short time. Dogs barking with no body won't rid you of the hooved ones, but your neighbors might not like it all the time. Whatever, if you're in the country, let it wail!

Of course, the canine is the top! Good for those snakes too!

Head on Down South!!!
