Gardening 2015

Following the warm spell many good souls were planting their tomatoes and peppers and awoke this morning at 20F witnessing shriveled up dead plants. I suspect that the first rule in Spring gardening is understanding the weather and plant when it is going to stay warm. I do not plant outside the greenhouse before 15 […]

Ebola 4

The shortsighted media has neglected EBOLA, generally suggesting it is no longer a threat. Currently there are now 10,000 deaths and perhaps 20,000 people stricken with this miserable deadly disease.

Very Cold Weather Prepping

The Hundred-Day Cough

Everybody seems to be hacking, coughing, and otherwise miserable with bronchitis irritation. The pharmacy’s shelves are loaded with nostrums, remedies, and snake oil cure-alls. Nothing works. You cannot sleep and there is no kissing among loved ones fearing a big spasm coming up from the chest. It is plain misery.
