On the Saipan there was a certain amount of color based prejudges when it came to work shirts. No one wanted to be around the purple shirts, they always stank of jet fuel. And everyone knew to shout when talking to a green shirt. They were always hard of hearing. When it came to safety meetings...

Speaking of deer ate, I saved this Cayenne from the garden into a grow bag. It had been protected by briars when the deer ate the rest of the peppers. After only three or four days it's already starting to perk up. This is all the hots. (I only have four sweets left. A couple of the older...

We are going to be 15-20 degrees below normal next week. Lows in the high 40's and highs in the low 60's or high 50's. But I'm guessing I have at least a month or two of pepper growing season left. I've got some young stuff coming along. I thought I only had one hab'ish and the deer ate it, but...

I had three or four things I wanted to get during Prime Days, and messed around and didn't do it. Saving money through procrastination.

Just wanted to remind folks what FEMA does and does not do. They cut checks mainly. The biggie is debris removal. Six years ago today, when Michael hit Mexico Breach, the town's annual budget was $5M. Debris removal from the storm was $160M. No way a small town could swing something like that...

The one hand not knowing what the other was doing. The pilot had checked in at another airport, but those guys hadn't forwarded his info, so they thought he was a hotshot or whatever. The next day he was back flying. There has been some close calls in the first few days when lots of folks were...

Wow, the Roe thread was on page four. (not many lady growers/per capita) Anyway, just happened across this old video. It's a classic and should be getting more play this close to the election.

Cissy Houston, a singer whose career began in childhood and spanned generations and genres from gospel to pop, has died. As a child, Houston performed with her siblings, and she later sang backing vocals with Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Van Morrison and more. She was also a renowned solo...

I'm doing alright. Tonight when I went walking was the first time I thought long pants would have been nice. It's in the mid 60's with low 50's coming later in the week. We've dodged all the storms. Franny's winds did damage some pepper and tomato plants. Helene's rains caused the river to...

Milton came within 35 miles of Progreso. That would have shaved off a few mph. Going down to 155 so fast is a good thing. We will have to wait and see if it picks back up once it is away from land. Shear should start working on it tomorrow. SUMMARY OF 100 AM CDT...0600 UTC...INFORMATION...

@ttystickk long time no see. Hope all is well.

God's Grifter.

My local radio station has gospel music on sunday mornings. I was a little late getting out to my truck to listen this morning, and the preaching had already started. The preacher said our (in the Panhandle) prayers were the reason Helene had jogged east at the last minute. I guess god hates...

Never mind. St Pete, Tampa and the Mouse all in the line of fire. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at4+shtml/153329.shtml?cone#contents

Happy birthday. Hope you had a good one.

Just a heads-up. The price of chicken will be rising in the weeks to come. I'm sure the GOP will say Joe Biden is at fault. And he did allow a Cat 4 hurricane to track through our chicken growing capital...

The lady being saved is the calmest one in the bunch.
