The Sugar Baby pumpkins that I used to grow for pies were a 60-70 day
crop- unlike the big ones that are 120+.

I can't find "Sugar Baby" -- but further thought & a bit of poking
around makes me think these were more like 90 day pumpkins. I
planted them 2nd week of June & first frost was usually mid-Sept.

This page has a bunch of pumpkin varieties and mentions the vine,
which reminded me that these things I used to grow were 'bush'
pumpkins.

Thanks for the search. Typing "Sugar Baby" into Google was quite
titillating ;O)

We have an productive cumquat tree. My wife went googling "cumquat
jam". You do get some recipes but not all are to do with boiling
fruit with sugar.

David

DAVID, WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA?!!

Ah, there, that feels better ;O)

Anyway, I'm always ready to give it a go, so I typed "cumquat jam" into
Google, and all I got was boiling fruit with sugar:O( However when I
type in "Sugar Baby", I get http://www.seekingarrangement.com/
"Seeking Arrangement", The Guide to Mutually Beneficial Relationships

Not a pumpkin in sight.

Don't even think about Googleing "fudge".

The up-side is that with any luck that should occupy Shelly for awhile.

By coincidence, I turned on the radio and got:

Eli Pariser on "The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding from You"

The internet is increasingly becoming an echo chamber in which websites
tailor information according to the preferences they detect in each
viewer. When some users search the word "Egypt," they may get the latest
news about the revolution, others might only see search results about
Egyptian vacations. The top 50 websites collect an average of 64 bits of
personal information each time we visit--and then custom-design their
sites to conform to our perceived preferences. What impact will this
online filtering have on the future of democracy? We speak to Eli
Pariser, author of The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding from
You. "Take news about the war in Afghanistan. When you talk to people
who run news websites, they'll tell you stories about the war in
Afghanistan don't perform very well. They don't get a lot of clicks.
People don't flock to them. And yet, this is arguably one of the most
important issues facing the country," says Pariser. "But it will never
make it through these filters. And especially on Facebook this is a
problem, because the way that information is transmitted on Facebook is
with the 'like' button. And the 'like' button, it has a very particular
valence. It's easy to click 'like' on 'I just ran a marathon' or 'I
baked a really awesome cake.' It's very hard to click 'like' on 'war in
Afghanistan enters its 10th year.'"

AMY GOODMAN: So, this may surprise people. Two of us sitting here, me
and Juan, if we went online, the two of us, and put into Google "Eli
Pariser"--

ELI PARISER: Right.

AMY GOODMAN:--we actually might come up with a wholly different set of
finds, a totally different set of links, of search results.

ELI PARISER: That's right. I was surprised. I didn't know that that was,
you know, how it was working, until I stumbled across a little blog post
on Google's blog that said "personalized search for everyone." And as it
turns out, for the last several years, there is no standard Google.
There's no sort of "this is the link that is the best link." It's the
best link for you. And the definition of what the best link for you is,
is the thing that you're the most likely to click. So, it's not
necessarily what you need to know; it's what you want to know, what
you're most likely to click.

Obviously, David, you are leading a dissolute life behind that facade of
being the gentleman gardener.

Soooo, what other sites have you found ;O)?

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True
conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.
