  Garden update... One corn stalk got a bit dinged from the recent storm (as did my black hollyhocks), but everything else is doing well... Squash is climbing the fence, beans are climbing the corn, and a itty bitty ear of corn is forming in one of the stalks! Two of the sunflowers are in bloom, and the bees are digging them! #SolarPunkSunday #ThreeSistersGarden #HomeGardens #GardeningForPollinators

  Heh. So, after all the #RedScare crappo coming from #MSM about #DemocraticSocialists , you know I had to go to the official party platform for 2026. "Replace the two-party system with a multi-party democracy. Expand the House of Representatives, implement proportional representation and ranked choice voting in all elections, and abolish the Senate." I don't have a problem with a more #ParliamentaryGovernment and more parties! Bring it on!!! https://program.dsausa.org/#democracy...

  How headlights got brighter, whiter, and more blinding after dark Excerpt: "Older halogen setups, particularly the reflector housings common through the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s, produced a comparatively soft, warm beam with limited reach.

  I feel bad for folks who are losing their homes to floods, wildfires, etc. But what I don't understand is why aren't the victims of #BigOilAndGas rioting and screaming at the top of their lungs? I know every time I see that orange bastard on TV, I hurl curses at him. What if we all did that collectively?! If there is more than meets the eye, we should be able to use The Force (#TheFierce?) to make his head explode like a rotten pumpkin. Seriously!!!
