Good evening. Native 🌱 Coral Honeysuckle www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/... flowering today at Springfield Botanical Garden. Not sure if that's in the Zone 7a or 6b part of Springfield. I've never seen honeysuckle flower in November in Missouri.

Also saw a rabbit chasing a squirrel. 🧐

If you're wondering what all the commotion is about and why there's no parking at Elfindale Plaza in Springfield Mo, it's $13 for Charity Tattoo Day at the tattoo place. The waiting in line on sidewalk wraps around the plaza and is ruining business for the other businesses, creating bathroom issues.

🧵 on solar relationship with electric company

Somebody please help @bolen.co

"Does anyone have recommendations on a grid-tie system they like? Ideally, I'd like to get this ordered and installed before the 30% tax credit evaporates..."
Fun with Solar Panels and Ameren, our shit monopoly/only-game-in-town utility here in our corner of Missouri.

This is our electric bill from peak-ass St. Louis summer. It shows what we consumed (1765 kWh), what Ameren paid us for (132 kWh), and our net usage (1633 kWh) used to calculate the bill.

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."
