I’m tired of people in my immediate circle believing the Earth is flat, and for some reason, believing it is their responsibility to “educate” others.
I have spent my whole life trying to have more than one friend in the whole wide world, so cutting these people out of my life is a tough solution.

A rainbow is God’s promise never to subject us to Trump again.

It bothers me a lot that gerrymandering continues to be a problem in the USA.
Like universal healthcare, nearly every other developed nation has solved this problem, or never even had the problem to begin with.
For some reason Americans are proud to live in the most corrupt country on earth.

“Everything is a conspiracy theory if you don’t know how anything works,” says @garrisonhayes.bsky.social in his video on the conspiracy theories swirling in the aftermath of the deadly Texas floods.
The irony? There’s no need for a conspiracy theory when the truth is simple: Texas floods often.

Today I feel very disheartened to know that all my neighbors and a good chunk of my friends are Trump and Bobo voters. They are genuinely otherwise very good people. I don’t know how good people can get behind this much cruelty and hatred.

A good friend gave us a brand new 25 year old ATV.
With the help of another good friend, I got it running reasonably well. Just gotta work through the remaining gremlins and it will be a very handy addition to out little ranch on the prairie.

My friend just got told his “don’t die of kidney failure” meds will cost $3000/month, after insurance.

Our veggie garden is coming along nicely this year. A bunch of potatoes have sprouted, the store bought lettuce is ready to eat, the garlics are huge, and the tomatoes are coming along.

I made a pipe laying attachment for my subsoiler, so now I can run irrigation lines out to my orchard and front yard landscaping.

We’ve finally finished the first stage of our pond. Next will be landscaping the paths around the pond and other areas, and putting in irrigation for the trees and flower beds.

Our seedlings are getting huge, and we need the dining table for guests this weekend, so we planted out the tomatoes in the greenhouse. I hope they survive the few upcoming nearly freezing days.
