The smell
of freshly picked cantalope is wafting throughout my house . When I went
out to check the garden early this morning , I could smell the aroma when I was still several feet away . Touched the stem and it fell off the fruit , so it's sittin' on my kitchen counter right now . I picked one the other day , but got it just a tiny bit too early and it wasn't as sweet as I like - the neighbor down the street got that one . Now if this steenkin' heat wave would break , maybe my 'maters would start setting fruit again . Hasn't been a bumper year for them , but there's still hope ! Got a few on the plants , and some are starting to ripen . Now all I gotta do is beat the bugs to them ! -- Snag Learning keeps you young ! |

You probably couldn't stand some real heat like we have in West Texas. You probably, at least get rain once in a while. Without an AC I would have died long ago. The news said it's the hottest & driest first seven months of the year since 1890. I suspect by "maters" you mean tomatoes. The heat is what seems like the culprit that is keeping mine from producing. The beets, turnips, cabbage, kohlrabi and many others didn't have a chance this year. The egg plant look like they're starting to produce. Zucchini & green beans are doing good. The only vegetation doing good is mesquite, and the only animal life(so called) doing good are ants. We don't need either one of those. If you stand in the wrong spot at night you find big black ants crawling on you quick. "Deep Woods Off" sprayed at the entrance of the garage keeps the ants out. Amdro just makes them dig another entrance somewhere else. Good luck with the heat & gardening. -- Desert West Texas GOOD NIGHT, Mrs. Calabash--wherever you are! |

Yeah, I've experienced that. Some of them aren't . Most of the White and Hispanic people I know are also fine upstanding citizens too , and some aren't .

It's just that there's a higher proportion of that behavior in a certain segment of the population here , and they use their race to perpetuate the myth of "poor mistreated us" . What "certain segment of "underpriveledged" people" "too lazy to work" [,and] thinks getting an education is being an "Uncle Tom"? You talkin' about black PEOPLE, boy? How does "There's a large population of "underpriveledged" people "too lazy to work", [t]hat thinks getting an education is being an "Uncle Tom"" devolve into your neighbor? How does he catch societies full load of stereotypes? How do you know that they swap their food stamps for drugs? If he was busted for drugs before, he would be ineligible for food $tamps, and "$ection 8" hou$ing. Let's take it from the top. 1) "underpriveledged" people" Well, they certainly didn't get a golden parachute when they were let go as slaves 150 years ago after, they had made profits for their masters, and they were still broke when the worst of the Jim Crow laws were overturned 50 years ago. White Black Hispanic Median income 2006 $50,673* $31,969* $37,781* Net Worth of Households 2009 $113,149 $5,677 $6,325 You do know that there are costs for food, clothing, and housing. After paying for those, you can save money against a rainy day. Study: Median Wealth for Single Black Women: $100, Single Hispanic Women: $120, Single White Women: $41,000 2) Unemployment is 9% for white PEOPLE, and 20% for black PEOPLE and 40% for black youth. 3) When I went to college, tuition was $300 to $400 per semester. The same school is now charging over $2,000/semester (and that's relatively cheap). More over, there are many people graduating college that can't find work. Does it make any sense to go deep into debt, and spend at least 4 years of your life to be told that there is no work for you? Education is being priced out of reach for many citizens. This country has real, serious problems, but our major ones start at the top of society, not at the bottom. That same neighbor said "I hate you because you're white , I hate ALL white people." the very first time he laid eyes on me . In part that's because white PEOPLE feel a sense of entitlement that few black PEOPLE ever get to experience. It ****es them off that we are so dense. Kinda set the tone , I'd say . Didn't matter to him that we bought his son a bicycle (while HE was in prison) because he was the only kid on the block that didn't have one , he couldn't get past race ... Not like you, huh? that same guy assaulted and tried to kill me at a later date , because I said something he didn't like .

Ya know Billy , I'm just not going to debate this with you any more . I
don't know what race you are , but from your attitude and responses I strongly suspect you're black .

When a person walks up to the fence and says what that man did to me , it kinda sets the tone for the relationship .

The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. 2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race. First of all people and others are different. Abraham Lincoln said "All people are created equal". It is not from the bible or another religious text. Do you really believe that everyone is physically equal. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. I do believe everyone should be treated with kindness. People are different and the difference is in their DNA and somewhere I am missing a genetic bolt that prevents me from getting better. I do not feel I am better than others, I am fat, ugly, lacking ambition, single never married or went on dates. People often look at me with less than ideal. I am also on lots of medication just to stay alive. I like to be alone to stay away from others criticism. I do not feel according to the dictionary that I am superior over others. The thing is that hangs up people. I know I am not superior over other others, but others are most certainly better than I am! I do however want to survive and live in peace, that is why I ran to the safety of the country side. I wish no harm to others. So where is my crime.... Am I guilty because I make no attempt to help individuals? I am guilty for running away? Or would you rather I take up guns and weapons and kill others for at least trying to get others a better life at the expense of others. Therefore if you did not serve in the military are you worthless scum. I do vote, I do vote for those that try and improve the social programs that helps others. But that is all I am going to do. It does seem by your writings that you are superior over others yourself. Are you better than the Jewish race which you seem to be complaining against by your footers. Is it the pot calling the kettle black! Is it by calling another a racist a racist themselves, by just calling them that makes one believe that they are better than others? Also is it a crime to have the feeling that one race is better than others. If not a crime why should it matter what people call you? -- Enjoy Life... Nad R (Garden in zone 5a Michigan) |

Over the years, I believe I can state with some confidence that... Billy is an Ideallist, he has an insight to people's soul, the romantic, the keeper of morals and they they tend to be critical of others. David S. Hare is a Guardian, Protector of institutions, seeks security and always true to faith. Probably gets angry if one rejects his advice... I am a Rational, live by logic and reason, seeks knowledge and a very strong skeptic with a bit of pessimism. Some would say I have a cold and emotionless personality. There is the Artisan, not sure if any are here. They tend to seek personal pleasure. All personality types are needed. Ones reasoning, ones insight, ones action, one creation can change the view and way doing things in others. It is that generalization and categorization in me :) -- Enjoy Life...

I should thank for confirming my belief about the violent nature of those living in Detroit. If people were peaceful and not so violent I would probably have developed a different view on that extremely violent area. You can have that city, I moved far away from that place where almost every other home is burned out and gangs rule. And as long as violence rules in that area, business will continue to fail and where business fail, poverty increases. You set a fine example.
