Say what you will about the general quality of goods we have here in the United States but it's undeniable we have the freshest hells on the planet.

Fall equinox is today. Have a few pictures of the mixed results from a few of my gardening attempts this year; I really need to seek out short season edibles next year ๐Ÿซค

1. Super firm > extra firm. Usually doesn't need to be pressed before cooking
2. Coat slices/cubes in cornstarch and bake in the oven. Air fryer would probably work as well
3. Do not coat in sauce until fully baked. I like to bake a bit longer after saucing them up

Young people hear older people talking about the weather and think it's because theyโ€™ve become boring and have nothing else left to talk about. But thatโ€™s not it at all. It's because the older people have lived long enough to finally recognise that weather is our one true leader.

A small sparrow looks up into the bare branches of a tree where a distant crow is perched. "Crows are so creepy," it says, "ominously perched in a dead tree...". The sparrow starts to see the crow with glowing eyes and jagged teeth, "who knows what they're up to...". The crow is now seen wearing strange occult symbols, a strange liquid drips from its eye, it is muttering something in an eerie and unknown language. "Conjuring demons?" the sparrow continues postulating, "Human worship? Rodent necromancy?" The crow is now seen as a normal crow, and the sparrow is right beside it, looking at it, and says: "Teach me your ways"

I know youโ€™re supposed to do an excited coo over someoneโ€™s recently born baby but I just canโ€™t do it. I am incapable of faking a coo over a new baby. Show me your new sheep or owl instead. Then I will offer a totally authentic coo.

One of the follies of my youth was thinking that the W years were bad enough to be hiding out in Humboldt County

I could use that Redwood Curtain security blanket right about now
