Just Some Wind
Been a busy week on the farm. The windstorms that happened here over the weekend brought a huge part of a tree down across our 'house' garden, right over the potato bed! I still have a 6 by 4 foot area left of potatoes to harvest, and the tree was right on top of that so it had to be cleaned off as soon as possible.
Luckily, the fallen tree did not break the fence, at least, not drastically. A picket or two are broken and the top rail of the fence has split, however, the fence has not fallen down, and it's still useful and keeping Nikko pup from gaining access to the open fields. Phewww.
The broken tree lying across a wheelbarrow (one can barely see it) which is holding part of the potato harvest!

It's 10 o'clock Monday night.
Delved into my official Washington State Voters Pamphlet, doing my civic duty studying the Initiatives, Measures, Federal candidates and their statements, State candidates and their statements, then County candidates and their statements, and a slew of State and County measures and amendments.
All 135 pages of it.

War IS the US Business Model
War with Russia in the Ukraine Proxy war, a likely War in SW Asia with Iran, War with China over Taiwan, War on US citizens using a variety of techniques, an economic War on the EU, countless coups and conflicts in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, Sanction wars with any country which refuses to submit to US dictats ...here a war, there a war, everywhere a war,war. I heard Lockhead-Martin stock is up 58% this year alone. This country has come a long way down the road from the initial goal of being an agricultural and trading nation. We morphed into authoritarian warmongering bullies somewhere along the way.
Album of the Week 10-19-24
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 10/19/2024 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
Well, this week we're a little heavy on the blues rock, but we'll start out with a couple of blues records. Percy Mayfield starts us off with a compilation of some of his earlier recordings followed by New Orleans piano player Cousin Joe weighing in with a late career album from the mid-80's blues revival period. After that it's off to blues rock with an album from Mick Taylor (former guitarist for John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and the Rolling Stones), a live album from The Band, performing with some amazing horns, and a double album from the band Redbone. After that, there's an album from Parliament that somebody gave me years ago telling me it was great, so, well, you decide. Then there's some folk-rock from Lindisfarne and we finish off with some pure pop from Tommy James & The Shondells that's been lurking in my collection for years.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
