Got to see my Father for the first time in over five months.    Through a screen and from a distance but we got to talk a little and he still has the Marine in him and managed to return the salute I gave him. Love you Dad ..... Semper Fi!

More strange weather, but it's not altogether unwelcome this time. The heat and dryness continued for a week after my last post, and we were officially in moderate drought conditions, but then it was like a switch got thrown and everything changed, literally overnight. A cold front rolled in and broke the drought with almost daily rain (I got over 4 inches in just one night a few days ago),...

The trusted black antebellum cooks and butlers that white southern families would so often affectionately refer to as, "Aunt Bess", or, "Uncle Joe", were nearly always secretly the actual aunts and uncles of those families except that they had been born as slaves and as the results of slave rapes by white southern slave owners. This fact is why products like, "Aunt Jemima", and, "Uncle Ben",...

No rain yet. I've only had an inch in the past 5 weeks. The forecasted heat wave didn't fully materialize, though, so that's good. It has been getting into the mid and upper 90's, but no 100's so far. The grass is starting to go brown, but at least I've hardly had to mow it lately. A decent trade-off in my book. - Sunday, July 19 - Just after sunrise. . Cool and pleasant. ....

"When you decide to live boldly without the irrational fear that is pumped into your head 24/7. Fear is a means of control over you and your mind. Break free and start living Fearless, boldly proclaim your Freedom!" “I do not support George Floyd and a media depiction of him as a martyr for black America,” this is evidence of the black community’s tendency to “blame white people” and take no...

No rain at all this past week, but the humidity dropped a bit and it was pretty nice overall. The week ahead, however, is supposed to be the hottest yet — upper 90's, with a chance of one or two 100+ days, and heat indexes of 110. I'm not looking forward to that in the slightest, and the national weather says that much of the country east and south of me will be in the same boat. A big heat...

It finally rained. I got a little over an inch a few days ago, but it wasn't much help. All it really did was green the grass up a bit, and increase the humidity. June is usually one of the wetter months, if not the wettest, but not this year. I hope it rains a good amount in July. If it doesn't, I'll be gardening in drought conditions. It's been hot, too.  Heat indexes over 100 lately. It's...

It hasn't rained in almost 3 weeks, not since the remnants of Cristobal blew over. After a crazy amount of spring rain, it's just hot and dry now. Figures, right? - Wednesday - The germination under boards experiment. It worked well. I think I'll start doing it regularly. I'll need to pick up some more boards, though.  Pretty good results for a hot, summer planting....

These are the "White Trash" people that will be voting for Trump ! This is what "Peaceful" actually looks like too ! South Florida to California:

Black Lives Matter Banner.  The Confederate Battle Flag. You wouldn't think that these two have anything in common, and yet both are perfect illustrations of a common problem; when people assign their bias to another persons cherished symbol. The parallels are actually pretty similar. We are all well aware of the sins that have been committed under both of these banners. They both have...
