Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

FINALLY! 1.42” of rain in 35 minutes. My grass has already started greening up.
Got the tractor back from the 50 hour service and a couple of minor warranty issues. Of course he got here in the middle of the storm. We just all waited it out.

I make my own spaghetti sauce, have for years, only thing canned is tomato paste. The rest is cut up fresh vegetables, fresh garlic, thyme, basil, etc...

Not much plan for tonight other than grub off the grill and setting on the deck relaxing.

Enjoy evening all.

Sitting on front porch, rain has started, blue sky in sight so won’t last long. Temp dropped 10° to 72° and thunder rumbles. Worst of storm is south of us.
Sprayed sevin on cabbage earlier, bugs tearing it up.
Neighbor still mowing in the rain, he’s a plumber, used to getting wet.
By the time I type this on my phone, rain about stopped.

Just got in from mowing. Radio kept getting weather alerts. Not fun... since sunshine here...alerts did not apply.

Looks like weed whacking is next up.

Hope all have a good evening. See you in the AM.

Simply shaking my head after reading that in Philadelphia they are seriously considering taking down a historical statue of
Christopher Columbus because his arrival in North America coincided with "suppression of the indigenous species".
I think what was done to the American Indians was a tragedy, and maybe it still isn't so good now. But blaming it on Columbus?

We can and should learn from history, but trying to rewrite it is nuts.
soon they will give legal rights to the buffalo...or sue Flagler's heirs for endangering the Key West snail darter.

they even had to put an armed guard around Columbus's statue due to folks damaging it. Instead of spending energy on this nonsense, how
about working up a sweat building a Habitat for Humanity home? Do something useful...

Maybe this is how Southerners feel when they see Confederate historical statues taken down.

not meaning to be "political" simply commenting on PC out of control.
Likely preaching to the choir here, back to regular programming.

more knocks on the door a few minutes ago from lost in space neighbors, until aides herded them back to their rooms.
No ma'am, I'm not the medical services aide...all they have to do is pull the cord in their room and help will come, but
wasn't getting into that...

hope you all have a good evening. Been a good day here, got a lot accomplished, time for a few chapters of book to put me to sleep.

Spoke too soon...maybe.

That’s a neat picture.

City of brotherly love not so brotherly or loving now. These cities are destroying themselves with their policies. Who wants to visit them now? You couldn’t pay me to go to Seattle, New York, even if they didn’t have Covid.

Local rumor is there will be a fascist group show up in Gettysburg over the 4th to attack statues. Be prepared for the 2nd battle of Gettysburg.

It's all so strange. When confederate flags were taken down some years ago since some thought they were offensive the flags sold like crazy. We're not that far from Appomattox, the surrender grounds and gift shops were super busy. You saw confederate flags everywhere, some huge ones right off major highways on private property.
So it went from rarely ever seeing one to seeing them displayed everywhere.
Racism wasn't an issue...but now that it's considered a major issue, it is becoming one.
It's like all issues. Yes, years ago most people owned a few guns...but make the 2nd amendment a big major issue and gun/ammo sales go through the roof.
Let sleeping dogs lie. Address important problems. Why escalate trivial matters?
