There are two methods for cranberry harvest- wet method and dry method. Pictured is the ‘wet harvest’ method where the cranberry bog is flooded and the plants are shaken to dislodge the submerged berries, which float. (Fun fact: in a flooded bog the workers become high ground for the spiders.)

Tongue is so good. I did pork tongue confit once and it was one of the best meals I've ever made

Another one that somehow went under the radar: teargassing outside the Humboldt Park Health ER on October 3rd. Wgn was there but somehow it went unremarked, literally just the direction of the wind kept the gas from blowing into the hospital youtu.be/WnLN8wHW_xY?...

I think you're right. I was looking up a timeline (Shout out City Cast) and that Logan tear gas seems like the first one in a neighborhood. My friend texted me that day because she lives close enough to Rico to have heard the whistles and beeps when that was happening.

Thanks! It's weird, right? I've been feeling vaguely gaslit since this whole scene went down. Thank you for looking into it.
