The bees have been very active and the locusts aren't even blooming yet. It's shaping up to be another great honey year.
Work celebrates Earth Day "week" and today's event was a session on regenerative agriculture. Got a free packet of daikon radish seeds and a bag of used coffee grounds.
There are zero reasons that students should be allowed to have cellphones in schools. They should be placed in locked faraday bags upon entry and unlocked at the end of the day.

One surprising part of fatherhood is how much milk my 16-month-old drinks. Like multiple glasses a day.
My chestnuts, pawpaws, persimmons, hickories, apples, black walnuts, asparagus, peaches, potatoes, and pasture are definitely not corn and their rare earth content is ~zero. They do have a small amount of oil, which I try to reduce as much as possible.

Teaching and helping the next generation is a fundamental part of adulthood. I've been fortunate to have had several kind and generous teachers. I am **always** available to answer any questions or help however I can any student that is interested in the sciences or farming.

I proposed to my wife with a bar of gold. I wanted absolutely nothing to do with ring shopping and took her a few weeks later to the jewelry district in DTLA. Purchased it with a new credit card that has a sign up bonus, so effectively got it ~$200 below market price.

My grandfather died yesterday. He was a quintessential example of how the most extraordinary lives are often the perfectly ordinary ones. Born on a farm in rural Oklahoma, he enrolled in the ROTC program at Oklahoma St. While stationed in Stuttgart, Germany, he met a girl that…

i can accept that grasses evolved relatively recently, but it still weirds me out that it seemingly took so long for evolution to figure out how to make something grass-like was the grass niche really empty for 400 million years after the emergence of land plants?

I think CCC-like projects make more sense than preserving inefficient industrial processes to save jobs. If you can have a 100% automated factory or office, you should. If the people are bored, let them do the kind of hand work that is currently precluded by labor costs.

@PatrickHeizer @jeremykauffman Even if you consider the stimmy checks (I didn't track every dollar, so I'll concede that) that was only 15% of my capital start-up cost. Based on my business dealings, both as an owner as an employee, I have a darker view of people, and I'll leave it at that.
@PatrickHeizer @jeremykauffman A very large fraction of this is fraud. The remainder is people like me who realized they could efficiently WFH & decided to work for ourselves at reduced overhead and not corporations. I received no govt $. Unmotivated people did not get govt cash & start a new business.
History of the modern economy and the environment in one tweet: The land is exploited for profit by outsiders, but they pay locals to do it until the resource is destroyed. This is the same story, played out again and again. Ends with everything impoverished and degraded
Across the United States, farm land is getting bought up by developers eager to subdivide it. Land trusts may be the solution to the farm loss problem. bit.ly/3VYWn0U
@PatrickHeizer Hi! This is a driller radish - much better as a cover crop than as food. Once it's full grown you compost the green top and allow the root to decompose back into the soil.

Freedom is complicated. There are different kinds of freedom, that often don't occur in the same place.
@Empty_America Yes. Being a native Californian, where 48% of the state is public land, mostly NF and BLM, all mostly wild and free to camp on, I was shocked when I visited TX, and couldn't camp anywhere. Only 4% public land in TX. It's claustrophobic.
Maybe Dems can refocus on moderate swing voters instead of obsessing over left-defections over Israel?
