Happy Birthday, Pulsegleaner 🎉! 🥂 Steve

Lots of nice pictures and video clips ... I am in favor of "open pollinated" and hybrids, both. Preserving genes is important but so is individual success. And, this is especially and greatly important for utilitarian purposes including food supply, of course. Hybrids often have broad...

That's it, @ducks4you. I feel like I am now living somewhere in southern Arizona. Of course, it isn't that hot and dry here. Looking at the WS information on averages: it shows that Springfield had its driest year in 1940 with just over 20 inches. Drought is measured as a current comparison...

Wow! Someone likes, really likes allium flavors.

I like to have some idea of what I am posting — lyrics of a song ... that sorta thing. So, I look at the character last night and think, now what was his name? I turn to Wikipedia and search for lists of Disney characters. So many movies! I can't find him ... I changed the search to lists of...

I had yesterday and the day before off from the indoor mile. Under the weather with a cold –– apparently . Feeling better today but decided to only walk the mile, without the arm exercises. It wouldn't have amounted to a cardio exercise without that extra effort. I thought it might be a mistake...
