I have few problems with my garden that is enclosed by cyclone fence.

Around here the critters are such big eaters that I see suburban home owners actually constructing complete enclosures, covered with screening. I might take some pictures of them and post them. It’s really pretty amazing how far people go around here to have a garden.

I have a deer spray that I use that is peppermint based. It also keeps groundhogs away. Spray it and it lasts about 30 days. However this is not a good option for crops like lettuce. The best kind IMO is Deer Out. All of the deer sprays, however, are expensive, as it is $38 a bottle. This, however, will prol’ly last you the rest of your life.…[Read more]

Personally, I’ve been imagining some type of membrane fabric that would be eminently breathable yet that would sterilize all droplets coming out of the nose.

There are lots of other options besides the NY Times, but that’s where I am watching now because I like reading the running comments. I’m watching on my TV, which I was able to get on via Firefox.

However, Court TV is carrying it and so is youtube. Check this link for more info:

Bernie Sanders didn’t win the 2020 election. But he may have won its aftermath.
If you look back at Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders’s careers, the $1.9 trillion stimulus package, the American Rescue Plan, looks a lot like the proposals Sanders has fought for forever, without much of the compromise or concerns that you used to see from Sen…[Read more]

I am thinking of a NJ woman who had had it with her neighbor’s leaf blowers and shot him. She’s serving prison time now.

On occasion I think of trying to go to see her. There but for the grace of God go I.

“Operation Warped Spree”. As it had all the focus of a meth addled rat trying to escape a warehouse.

You have a gift.

I called for an appointment this moning and they had nothing. Said they would take some info and call me when it was available. I said calling me back won’t help because I don’t answer calls unless I know the number, so what is the number you’ll be calling from. She hung up on me.

Leftovers happen. People miss their appointments. Vials come with extra doses. Any thawed vials must be used within 6 hours, or they get thrown out.

I highly recommend “Roman J. Israel,” streaming on imdb.com now (as of 3/7/2021). He plays a social justice attorney with quirks and idiosyncracies that will amuse you.

It’s a drama, but there is plenty of suspense.

They love to engage in this kind of symbolism. It’s what keeps their base going. Haven’t you read any of the conversations of the Qanon nuts? It’s all about reading obscure references into the nonverbal expressions of their fearless leader, trump and other of their spokespersons.

I’m surprised the Nazi scholar thinks it’s inadvertent. In my…[Read more]

because neither she nor anyone else at that “conference” deserves to be taken seriously. What about Sturgis?

I think it’s his total lack of charisma. He has no charm. No savoir faire. He looks like some crude jerk.

Around Christmas I was still chopping leaves to put over my beds for winter. I raked a couple front flower beds and saw these little signs of life–a leaf or two–under the leaves. Normally I don’t take many plants indoors and just buy new ones in the spring. However, I couldn’t get these tough little guys out of my mind. Begonias! Ou…[Read more]
