@mary and I watched Jamie’s £1 Wonders last week and enjoyed it. I only think there's one episode out, but apparently there are a lot of folks who felt rubbed the wrong way by the show. The guy is just showing people how to make cheap and healthy meals, is there something I'm missing?

"The class of citizens who provide at once their own food and their own raiment, may be viewed as the most truly independent and happy. They are more: they are the best basis of public liberty, and the strongest bulwark of public safety. It follows, that the greater the proportion of this class to the whole society, the more free, the more independent, and the more happy must be the society itself." -- James Madison

Heartbreaking message from a Dutch farmer:

“Tonight was the last time we milked our cows. After 90 years, this is it for the organic dairy sector. We aren’t allowed to continue because we were labelled a ‘peak polluter’. We fought for 3 years.”

Our government destroys lives.

@Cherishingsparrows2020 @MaryMamuzich Thought I’d post and update. This is Paco, on the left, getting a souvenir and a little bonus on his 20th anniversary with my company. He’s recovering well and is on light duty for another month or so. Pretty amazing after breaking both his scapulae and suffering internal damage in the crush. Thank you for your prayers!

After a few years of Mormon solicitation, I decided to sit down with a few of them and chat every couple of weeks. I enjoy our talks and they're not pushy. They have some wild beliefs and I learn about new ones every time we get together. It would be easy to mock them, but they are, from what I've seen, good and decent folks and make good neighbors. We have way more in common than the folks running the school boards. I'm not drinking the cool aid, but we're at war and allies aren't a bad thing.

Worker bees and queen bees share identical DNA. Workers live a couple weeks, but queens live a couple years. The only difference between the two is how their genes are expressed and it's because of diet. Even if you have a lot of family history of disease, diet and lifestyle are huge and you can control those. Eat your veggies!

You folks remember the rotary un-smart phone? Justine Haupt is behind them and other cool projects and runs skysedge.com
Justine has been absolutely amazing with her persistence and transparency while trying to fulfill orders. I think she might actually be killing herself with the stress of increasing red tape etc. It is inspiring to see someone with so much integrity, but I worry for her.

Thinking about an ice house walk-in-fridge for the future house. We get such crazy cold swings here that it makes a lot of sense. Any ideas? Considering a bunch of Home Depot buckets full of water in a super insulated room. When it gets below freezing, blast outside air around the buckets.

Not a potato chip, not a potato wedge. Something in between and they’re great!

This is driving us nuts. There was some movie/series that featured ring-shaped storage/authentication devices. These were worn and we have this vague notion that the characters were trying to swipe/swap them. Can't remember what this was and any help would be appreciated.

Harvey and Connie Lapin have been parent-activists for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder for well over 40 years. My daughter Heidi most probably benefits from their years of hard work and determination. Many thanks to them and folks like them!

Our friend Wendell is preaching for the first time this morning! Don’t know if he has the gift of preaching and teaching, but “we’re fixing to find out”.

Ok, just wrote with a pen, the kind that is like a quill that you dip in ink for the first time. It is fun to do.
