I'm not posting much anywhere right now. Just been busy with other
things, so my posting volume is way down overall.

Oh my god, you got a life. I feel so shallow;-)

I know, being unemployed at present, I'm probably posting too much but I
only do so when I think I can help, or when I get cranky.

As you probably noticed I'm posting over at ca.politics. I hope that is
Californla and not Canada. I just got some rants that aren't appropriate
for gardening.

There are some good people who post in tx.guns, just like in
ca.politics, and then in both groups, there are those people who seem to
think the world is for them that think their way. As far as I'm
concerned, if I can be in your dream, you can be in mine.

Is there a lot of violent crime in Texas? That would explain the gun
thing. Here in Sonoma County, we have more gang members per capita than
in L.A. but for the most part they fight among themselves, with the
occasional innocent bystander. The Mexican gangs get the most press here
but we have white supremists, Crips & Bloods, and motorcycle gangs as
well. Homicides, though, are unusual outside of Oakland, where there are
gangs, drugs, and a whole lot of hopelessness. A president Obama could
fix a lot of that but I'm still voting Green, because I can, because
California will vote Democratic..

Oh, before I forget, cooking tomatoes makes the lycopene more available
nutritionally. Doesn't taste the same but is healthier to eat.

Hoping to make another run at milk thistle this year. The "Hounds from
Hell" trampled it last year, just like they are doing to the red clover
between the stepping stones this year. The green manure is doing well, I
guess I'll find out how well in about three months.

Black absorbing heat was my thought originally but the two schools that
did the experiment with clear and colored plastic reported better
results with clear. Logic is always based on the premise. If the premise
is wrong . . . .

We, Sonoma County, were asked to conserve water last year. We did so
well that they are raising our rates this year because of a loss of
revenue. I got into trouble, even with my drip.

Been lookin' at the weather maps. Seems like you run 10F ahead of us.
When do you plant?

You probably won't see this until you get off work, so I hope your night
went well and you carried to a relaxing sleep quickly.
