![]() ![]() While ahead of his time, he would likely play second fiddle to yours truly 65 years later who invented the “negative tip.” Recently my 22-year-old son, Nick, carved a notch on his own Paul Bunyan Axe with a negative $1.00 tip adjusted for 45 years of inflation. That surely would have enraged Leo Crespi, who at the turn of the 20th century proposed the formation of a National Anti-Tipping League. Evidently, the size of the tip is a factor, and a reason why restaurants charge 16%+ for groups of six or more. And here’s an interesting tidbit: Solo diners leave an average tip of 19.7% while a five-some drops all the way to 13.2%. Waiters’ personal introductions, as well as crouching at the table when taking an order, also worked famously. And too, William Grimes, in The New York Times, pointed out a decade ago that a waitress who touched her customers when asking if the meal was OK, raised her tip from 11 to 14% of the tab. Theoretically it is a power tool, a financial weapon that commands “treat or trick,” but studies since the 1940s have shown that most people do not have the requisite nerve to stiff a waitress even for unreasonable service. The primary reason for tipping appears to be social approval. In any case, social scientists have recently confirmed that tipping does send a message and that it is more about the man or the woman in the mirror than the quality of the service. What was revealing at the moment back in 1965 was what it said about me: impatient, willing to disappoint people (at least strangers) and a little inconsiderate of some people. These days, my negative two-bit tip would hardly leave a dent in the estimated $25 billion annual pool of tips left at American restaurants. I was, of course, like any 21-year-old, in the business of establishing a repertoire of “unique” experiences and this was but one notch on my Paul Bunyan Axe. He Gross family legend is rather full of Paul Bunyan tall tales passed down over the years but none perhaps more self- revealing than “The Day When I Gave the Waitress a Negative Tip.” Admittedly I was young and full of testosterone but the service was terribly sloooww and I was in a big hurrrryyy! Finally presented with a $2.00 bill, I took two bucks and wrote the following on a nearby napkin: “Thanks for the sh…ty service, negative tip – you owe me 25 cents.” I didn’t stick around to see the reaction, but I’m sure it was a unique experience for the young lady. ![]()

Wayne Fields, in a 1988 essay in American Heritage magazine, wrote this about the ecosystem: “The prairie, in all its expressions, is a massive, subtle place, with a long history of contradiction and misunderstanding. I love living and working in the prairie. Stop at the trailhead and hike among the badland-like formations you’ll probably see Say’s Phoebe, Cliff Swallow, or Rock Wren. You may even catch a glimpse of a Golden Eagle snatching a jackrabbit for breakfast.ĭon’t miss the Pawnee Buttes, the most notable geologic feature of the grasslands. Colorado’s state bird, the Lark Bunting, arrives in May in dense flocks - quite the spectacle. During the breeding season, Pawnee is home to the regionally endemic Mountain Plover and Thick-billed Longspur. ![]() Since then, biodiversity here has expanded and now has many birds, mammals, reptiles, insects, amphibians, and fish. The goal was to initiate a grassland recovery effort after intense farming led to soil erosion that devastated the land and farming families. The major challenge will be to identify changes to grassland management practices that provide significant biodiversity benefits and yet allow productive livestock farming systems to continue.Pawnee is one of 20 grasslands throughout the western Great Plains that were established after the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. Of the Neotropical species using grasslands as their primary habitat, 34 have high conservation priorities and 80 of the endemic lowland grassland birds. Further research is required into the impact of different grassland management practices on the abundance and accessibility of bird food resources at both the field and the landscape level. Plants within intensively managed swards are allowed little capacity to set seed, and the majority of invertebrates within these grasslands are either too small to be utilized by birds or inaccessible because of dense vegetation or impenetrable soils. However, as a result of agricultural intensification the majority of lowland grasslands in the UK now lack botanical and structural complexity. The ideal grassland to encourage plants and invertebrates suitable as food for farmland birds contains a mixture of grasses and broad-leaved plants with a range of vegetation heights and structures. Swards and structure: the interactions between farming practices and bird food resources in lowland grasslands. ![]() ![]() JSESSIONID: This cookie is used by the application server to identify a unique user's session.We may update the information contained in this section from time to time.
