I go to Hot Springs every year, and I prefer SQZBX Pizza - just as good and easier experience

I’ve always kept them as an occasional meal replacement. My understanding is that you need to be careful about heavy metal accumulation if having very often.

Just recently, it was argued on here if this was even a “war.” Now we are justifying total war.

What’s the end goal? Have we defined what victory looks like? Goal posts keep moving from disarm, to enabling the populace to take over, to whatever the current goal is.

Once we destroy civilian infrastructure, Failed State and terrorist breeding ground becomes inevitable.

I’m personally ok with the full spectrum of war, but only when it comes with line of sight to goals and consequences.

I use acidified cotton burr compost

Really odd Spring thus far in the Ozarks.

We had a quick hard freeze with single digit wind chills in mid March, followed by record highs. I had plants with freeze damage and heat stress in the same 8 days.

Then, we had a full week of constant strong winds to close out March. Bad enough that I had to bring my hardened off 3in pots back inside for a full week.

Peas will flower any day now and are doing ok with the chaotic weather.

Lettuce is looking great.

Tomatoes and Peppers are about 3wks from starting hardening off.

Cucumber trellis going up this weekend and seeds will go in ground 4/15 along with beans.

I have TONS of flower starts ready for mild weather (globe amaranth, marigolds, rock cress, violas). Zinnia direct seed next week.

A long term project of mine is converting my backyard to mostly yarrow and black eyed Susan, I have plenty already in place and a constant rotation of seedlings.

Fantastic movie, wife (non reader) went in completely blind “Is this a war movie or something?” And loved it.


Felt like they nailed Rocky’s tunnel in the Hail Mary.

Fantastic!

In other news, my kids’ track meet today was accompanied by a controlled burn a few blocks over. Needless to say, no PRs were had today.

1st Kid: Normal birth, about 24hrs

2nd Kid: Induced, 2 nights

3rd Kid: No epidural, one afternoon and an overnight.

4th Kid: Used a birth center, arrived at 4am, home by noon.

Septic field or no?

36 and snowing here in the Ozarks, will be about 19 in the morning.

Covered my peas and cool season flowers, spent about an hour pulling tarps and storage containers.

We will see how hardy my peas are.
