Be nice to be able to watch the baseball games, thanks @AT&T. Pretty sure you’ll still want to get paid.

This September, we're taking a moment to reflect on the books we've had the privilege of publishing so far in 2025! Preferred Plants and Nectar Collecting Times for Honey Production, South Carolina Master Gardening Manuel, and Experiments in Silence. Which one has been your favorite so far? 📚💡

I blame the abhorrent “fan”behavior at Bethpage on the deranged racist You People elected President. His hatred of everything decent has legitimized cruelty & fostered an attack culture. The Ryder Cup, World Cup, Olympics must be removed from the U.S. as long as this bigoted pig is in charge.

Anyone with a spare 600K lying around should snap this up. A wildly appreciating investment. Plus you get to drive the Hammer of God.

So somebody grew a set. More likely You People who cancelled whatever that streaming service is succeeded. I never had whatever service that is & have never watched Kimmel, so I was ahead of the curve. Well done anyway You People.

For better or worse, Hurricane Hugo made my professional career. If you live here, you’ve probably seen the aerial film of the tilted Ben Sawyer Bridge, the boats piled up at IOP Marina, & on & on. Well, that was me & an ETV videographer. Out of that, I got to train at the National Hurricane Center,

Today in 1944, time ran out for John Frost & his brave troopers of the British 1st Airborne. Jumping into Holland & tasked with taking & holding the bridge over the Lower Rhine at Arnhem for 2 days, Frost’s 750 men held off German armored columns for 4 days.

One team was ready to play. And the other was Clemson. Does this team have the stomach for a good fight? Seen no evidence of it.

Who exactly is the demographic ESPN is attempting to appeal to with Pat McAfee? 13-14 year old adolescent boys sniggering because he says “bad words?” GameDay is unwatchable as long as he sits at the table.

Ripping out last of the pole beans. Had a poor season, only reason I can think of is excessive rain in July & August. Usually harvest a year’s supply to stock the freezers, but probably only put up 15 or pints. Still have producing Sea Island red peas which I actually prefer over beans.

Mixing up some potent sugar water for the hummingbirds. We have 6-8 different hummingbirds at our feeder & right now they are in hyperphagia; way overeating tanking up to migrate to South & Central America. They’ll essentially double their minuscule body weight in this feeding frenzy. No red stuff.
