i had a chuckle with your markings of "this side up". back, back in the day, there was a local band by that name. the band the other bands went to see at the 4am bars. with a very pretty (he) sax player with big hair before big hair was big hair.
hadn't thought of them in years.

thx. <3

it really just got warm enough for me to trust planting. bobcat comes back tomorrow. or the tomorrow after that, or... and the load of leaf compost i was supposed to get isn't available, and......

but we carry on.

everything arrived just peachy. i think it is a fine method. so many people pack things tightly, not knowing that that is the best was to transmit shocks. all seemed happy.

10. very nice, I wish my houston neighborhood didn't require only short grass lawn.

can't even have a chicken, sticks on the lawn or grass over 5 inches because of neighborhood Ass. tickets and fines. local over-regulation sucks.

Never a mention from the state gov. about all the refinaries. Or a care in the world from the politicans about air, water, wildlife.
