His thirst for blood is appalling. As a non-Christian, I feel threatened by his Crusader-like beliefs of slaying the non-believers. He is a lot like Wahabis thinking.
Thanks for the post.

Glad you made your beds ready for winter. A sense of accomplishment
going into the change of season is good.

Will be interesting to see how the vote in the House goes tomorrow
on the 8 Articles of Impeachment against Hegseth. Definitely guilty
as charged.

3 charges for illegally waging war against Iran in violation of the War Powers Resolution
1 charge for ignoring laws designed to minimize civilian casualties
1 charge for overseeing "extrajudicial killings" in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific Ocean with strikes on alleged drug boats
1 charge for suppressing free speech, brought in connection to the effort to punish Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., for a video telling service members they can refuse illegal orders
1 charge for the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro without congressional authorization
1 charge for illegally waging war against Yemen in violation of the War Powers Resolution

Thanks for the OT.

from a new source online. A 4 gallon bucket cost me $50, but it goes a long way. A 20' furrow takes about 3 cups spread down near the root level. I feed it in every 3 years or so. It's pure carbon, so it never breaks down or goes away. It stay in the soil forever.
It acts as little "hotels" for the microbes to live and hide in and retains water very well.
After nearly 15 years of infusing, the soil is becoming very dark, almost like black earth, or terra preta/Chernozem.
My garden soil is teeming with earthworms and other life, big and small.
The Russians will always own the Arctic zone. They have been building on dominating there since before WW11. They own and operate over 40 ice breakers and have the Arctic seafloor covered with listening devices.
Russian jurisdiction in the Arctic Ocean spans 11 time zones and reaches nearly to the North Pole.
Thanks for the post.

buy biochar somewhere. Is it very expensive? I might be ready for some around the end of December - still getting tomatoes, but no ripe ones for a week or so. Will be off and away from mid-November thru mid-December, so that is the earliest that I'll be paying much attention to the garden, such as it is.

What the Orange Dotard doesn't fuck with, the Brits will. Right now they are all hot to mobilize a joint European naval force (outside of and in addition to NATO) to confront the Rus, and especially the Rus submarines, in the Arctic. They, of course, have no Arctic shoreline or territorial waters, they just like to stir the shit and harass the Rus. They also don't seem to have much of a fleet either, but they've already got takers and a coalition of interested belligerent wannabees.

Time to get outside and vacuum up leaves/

be well and have a good one
