HONEYBEES (Part 2) OTHER POLLINATORS… I have plenty about which to write, but I will take on an occasional request. When I mentioned that honeybees are not native to America, Owly said, “I’d love to see you write about other pollinators someday…” Well, here’s “someday,” before I forget (because my forgetter works better than it used to). Honeybees …

GUEST POST from Don – The Winner
THE WINNER (A short, short story for your amusement.) They met at university. That can happen. It still does for many. Sometimes it lasts a lifetime. They were both enrolled in the same school of business, the same year, the same advisor. Fred and Nan also were both winners. They had always been at the top of their classes and captains …

GUEST POST from Don – Silly Freeze List
SILLY FREEZE LIST THINGS THEY TELL YOU TO FREEZE1. Spoiled milk. Small containers of this can be used to make pancakes and french toast. (Pre-measure)2. Bread. Home made frozen bread toasts better, they say. (I’m not that finicky)3. Orange rind. This can be used for those recipes which call for “zest.” (I just throw it out as I find food tastes …

GUEST POST from Don – Honey Bees
HONEY BEES A number of years ago, around 2006, scientists and environmentalists claimed honey bees were dying off. They had evidence. Entire hives went dead in weeks. They were healthy and then they were dead. No single suspect was discovered, but with intense hand wringing it was surmised that PESTICIDES were involved. Soon there was a movement to ban …

Tuesday Truths – May 28, 2024 Edition
(I will be posting these on most Tuesdays as I have a ton of them saved up and need to use them.) As always, these memes reflect topics and views I find interesting. They are not my typical fare; I will post on many subjects, in no particular order or form, aimed at no particular …

GUEST POST from Don – Easy Pest Control
EASY PEST CONTROL MOSQUITO BUCKET This is as simple as it gets. Cost is under $20. Momma mosquitoes lay eggs in standing water. So give them a nice place to do that. You need a 5 gal bucket. An old 5 gal paint bucket will do if you clean out the paint residue. Drill a few small holes in the …

GUEST POST from Don – Multiple Subjects
DADS’ MOWER BRIGADE, and others. In a small town nearby there is an Independence Day parade. That’s not unusual as I hear. They do all the normal stuff that people do … tractors, horses and wagons, firetrucks, local beauty queen riding in a spiffy soft top, local band, boy scout troop, clowns, and people throwing candy (against …

GUEST POST from Don – Too Big
THINGS TOO BIG There are things which are too big to talk about in a short paper. They involve subjects too complicated to be summarized. Here are a few… MENTAL HEALTH My wife is a mental health therapist. We know the myriad of ways a person’s life can go sideways. Often we will share an “Ann Landers” type of …

WHAT WOULD LIFE LOOK LIKE IF WE TOOK AWAY JUST A LITTLE HUMAN FREEDOM…
I read a few scary articles recently from individuals who tried to present “sensible” ideas from the socialist point of view. Maybe the average reader who has not thought through some of these things already would have been lulled into accepting the ideas as rational. I could only see the big pink elephant in the room. One …
