I love squid! Used to spend summers at Woods Hole and some of the science guys there used to do experiments with squid axons, which are really big. Rather than throw the rest of the squid away after the axon was removed they would bag them up and freeze. When there were enough for a feed for a...

Yup. That's what I was alluding to.

Sure looks suspicious. But then maybe the hunters that might shoot it can't read.

I would like secure borders and immigration policies that make sense, but lacking that what does the average citizen do to make the problem worse? Well many buy illegal drugs thus supporting drug cartels and making life hell in some of those South American countries so their citizens want to...

I could use some neighbors with chickens available like that! I am on my high horse and boycotting commercially raised and processed chicken, e.g. Tyson Purdue etc. Turns out they have been using illegal immigrant CHILDREN to clean the processing equipment at night. They have to go to school...

It's my fault. Construction project to remove cracked and broken concrete patio started last week, so of course we suddenly seem to have an early mud season. Dump truck fully loaded with concrete chunks is marooned pointed uphill in back yard hoping to get out Monday after 2 days with no rain...

You forgot Fox News!

Yes, there are 5 cloves on the counter waiting to be cut up. Time for ratatouille to use the eggplants and squash and tomatoes. Bought a mandoline to try for all the slicing and dicing. Dead loss. I’ll try that recipe!

Here today gone tomorrow..... (old parental quote)

I don't get it. A watermelon tree?

Sorry to hear lugbolt, 15 years is a long time to be sick.

I might have seen a female oriole today. Rushed into the kitchen and put out two orange halves.

Probably wood chucks. Constant trapping. My neighbor has relocated something like 40 from under her barn. Keeping the area near the foundation mowed short and string trimmed supposedly helps. Less cover to attract the young ones to start a new home. I do an area near a run in shed, but...

Are you sure you're not wool gathering?

Sorry but that is way too close for comfort. Happened to have tv on when I saw bearbait's post featuring a guy who crossed paths with a grizzly while out working. He wasn't pretty after the encounter.
