  1. That gets seeds spread around. Growing out of a crack in solid rock takes some ability.
  2. Plus a lot of trees survive wild fires, especially here in the midwest with our deciduous forests. The little stuff not so much, which is why controlled burns work. And on glades, there's not a lot of growth to get what you could ever call a raging forest fire going.
  3. Great Northern beans cooked with a smoked hock and a handful of Burger's ham, an onion, a few baby carrots and some celery. Like the beans and other stuff really done and want it kind of soupy. The cornbread is good old standby Jiffy with a tablespoon of added honey and about a tablespoon of chopped jalapenos. Bake it in a #5 Wagner cast iron skillet that is hot enough to smoke oil when the batter goes in - makes a nice crisp bottom and sides.
  4. That wind is piling it up!
  5. Saturday is going to be beans, cornbread and football day around here. I was cold once and I didn't like it.
  6. There were 705 kids out of school with Covid today in small town Nevada. And over 60 teachers. To say it's rampant is not an overstatement. Most of our Nevada family members have active Covid right now. All but the ones that are too young have been vaccinated but not boosted. Here's hoping they all stay out of the hospital, that part of the hokey pokey still is a big deal if you ask me.
  7. Survivors they are. They remember that day, it shows. I have a leaf from the Linden that survived the Oklahoma City bombing. Trees with a history fascinate me.
  8. I drove past it again twice today and appreciated it still.
  9. Glad to hear it. You're a tough old bird and we all know it.
  10. I'm looking on Amazon for a new electric heater for Pete's bathtub to help him test GFI.
  11. I do not like GFI breakers. When they start tripping it's hard to know if the breaker is at fault or if there is a problem somewhere on the circuit and if so, where. If this were my problem, the GFI breaker would be gone in favor of a regular breaker and GFI outlets where I felt they were needed.
  12. Back legs would work too.
  13. For max distance, try holding the cat by the tail and whirling around like a hammer thrower. Three twirls is about right.
  14. There has been a feral cat meet with an untimely demise in the neighborhood occasionally. Honestly not as often lately as it used to be. Not sure why.
  15. I had lasik 11 years ago and still have better than 20-20 vision at any kind of distance. Use readers for close work. Night vision is as good as when I was 18. Hated glasses and contacts, lasik was one of the best things I ever did.
  16. One of the things (among others) I like about you is how you never seem to get pissy. Same way with Pete.
  17. Well that answers that don't it. Wow.
  18. Who is "they"?
  19. I thought it was going to happen. Glad it didn't.
  20. Anyone interested in learning more about the background of the whole mRNA revolution should read "The Code Breaker". It's about Jennifer Doudna and others who worked with her. Fascinating how the process to develop the information leading to Covid testing and finally vaccines went down. And how the Covid vaccines are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to using mRNA in modern medicine.
  21. I'm a virologist now and I am predicting that Covid is with us to stay. Vaccinations will be much like flu vaccines now with the makeup of the vaccine intended to work best on the variant that seems most likely to be the dominant strain over the time the vaccine is intended to be effective.
  22. We got it taken care of so cheer up. 😊
  23. One of the guys I went elk hunting with spent a week in a tent in Colorado with a covid positive guy. The covid guy was sick and coughing a lot. Caught nothing. It's not totally predictable, is it?
  24. You need a better (meaner) lawyer.
  25. That's not hard to believe. I think we took care of it in a good way. Hope you agree.
