Good morning everybody.
Spent the last four days downing trees, cutting and splitting them up, and burning the slash.
Rained pretty good Monday, but needed to water the corn and onions we just planted.
Will be driving back to suburbia this morning, so will catch up to you guys, and the world news, when I get there.
Hope everyone had a relaxing holiday.
Thread is open.

We usually don't drive either way on weekends.
Drive up Friday, drive back Monday. But this Monday was a holiday.
It's only an hours drive.
With normal traffic.
Interesting times indeed.
Thanks for the post.

not too sure about the great and powerful, magnificent US part.
With leaders as delusional as this, who needs enemies? Just wait
awhile and doofus will come up with something weirder. Perhaps
all of this imaginary power has gone to his head.

Implication: notice anything odd? If the antecedent is false hen it doesn't matter whethe the consequenct is true of not, the implication is true. This is called a vacuous truth and is related to the fallacy of denial of the antecedent. The statement "If the ambient temperature drops below -5 Celsius then standing water will start to freeze" contains no information whatsoever about what happens if the ambient temperature doesn't drop blow -5 Celsius, so no matter what happens the conjunction is true. Thus, Trump's statement above is true, vacuously so, which befits the utterances of a cognitively vacuous speaker.

It is a lot of work, but satisfying to have it done.
did mostly landscaping today. Use the lawn sweep
to pick-up the rows of cuttings. Even tho I have a
mulcher on the tractor, when the grass is this thick
lots of spare trails out. Too much to rake-up.

Those of us who grew up farming and ranching consider the holiday you had as relaxing. Anyway, sounds like you got a bunch of necessary chores done.
World news sucks pretty much everywhere. Not sure what taking food to Cuba to feed Cubans amounts to a crime, but we shall see how we are punished for interfering with a genocide not involving Muslims.
