Aw, shit.

Nope, it’s too close to be shit, shine on you crazy diamond.

Quite rightly, have some saffron instead.

Impressively close but wrong!

I snuck into the campus of my former workplace, a manufacturing facility. I cut down a number of non-native plants growing in the surrounding courtyard. Maintenance discovered what I was doing and notified security. Everyone was okay with removing the plants because they were growing near high voltage lines and causing electrical arcing. There was concern about having to pay me overtime and back wages. While they were discussing what to do, I made a large pile of vegetation and then snuck away.

Heavy winds, rains and hail can make the tall stems flip over before the grain ripens, ruining harvests. But Grossi circumvented the problem by planting miracolo with shorter wheat varieties that provide structural support.

Reminiscent of Indigenous Americans Three Sisters planting approach. Corn stalks provide support for bean stalks that fix nitrogen and both are shaded by squash that protects moisture. Diversity in agriculture helps in multiple ways.

Thanks, you as well.

Have to keep current, our understanding of old things advances and new things constantly emerge.

Bean there, done that. 10/10 will bean again.

Some cases they don’t need your license either, they can see an image of your license by entering your name and birthdate into their cars computer.

A few thoughts; lack of infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists is what crowds us together and forces close passes, try to remember this and be patient and kind.

The individual being passed has the right of way, they have no obligation to make way. The individual passing is responsible for doing so in a safe manner, no passing on turns or where view is obscured, sometimes need to slow down and wait before passing. Always wait for opposing traffic to clear before passing, don’t dart out in front of opposing traffic making them slow or take evasive action.

A bell is the most effective and least startling method of alerting others to your presence. People seem to instinctively move right when hearing a bell. As mentioned by OP, calling out on your left sometimes makes people move left. (Not true on group rides with experienced riders, on your left is the correct method there)

I like powdered butter on my powdered toast, man.

FYI it’s dire, just to set it straight.

What would Pete Seeger say?

Determination to be a better parent than my parents forced me to process a lot, started an arc returning to my true self.

They do get harder as the night goes on!

January climbing trip to Yosemite, staying in Sunnyside campground, stove had a fuel leak and caught fire catching the picnic table on fire. After the excitement was over relegated to eating cold Campbells cream of mushroom soup out of the can. Mercifully we had a case of Lucky Lager to wash it down. Spent the rest of the night solving rebus puzzles found under the twist off caps. 4/10 do not advise.

That’s what big Lilliputian wants you to think! Don’t be gullible!
