    Your point of view is as clear as a blind spot on an awning. It's a lot to take in. I want to see what you write next fnaf

    Brace yourself for a fusion frenzy in Pokemon Infinite Fusion where trainers become the architects of their own Pokemon universe, crafting unique and formidable creatures that defy expectations and challenge the status quo.

    I am afraid that biking in my area (very rural) and at my age (73), is not really feasible, even with a pedal-assist electric motor. My normal daily mileage on my car is about 30-40 miles. It is 17 miles one way to work, 20+ miles to the grocery store. The library, gas station and other places I frequently go are about as far. Also, the lack...

    Oddly enough, the current thought that we should "electrify everything" shifts the deep environmental costs to places and cultures that contribute little or nothing to the climate crisis. For example, Vermont gets part of its electricity from HydroQuebec. This is a hydropower system in Quebec, Canada, that flooded thousands of acres...

    Today I gathered up dozens of plant pots to bring back to the local garden Center's annual pot recycling day tomorrow. Many of the pots are black plastic, which the regular town recycling center will not accept, even though they have a recycling symbol on them. So I have many year's worth of pots to get rid of. Yay!

    I moved back into my tiny three-season cabin last week. Even though it is primitive-- off-grid, no heat or cooking facilities other than an old woodstove, no running water after the spring dries up-- it is still very satisfying. My carbon footprint is very low, and I can grow some of my own food organically. The best part is that I can hear the...

    Wild chervil is a highly invasive plant that is taking over here in VT. The seeds and the rhizomes are poisonous, but the leaves are not. So I cut off the bloom stalks, so they don't go to seed. If they don't produce seed, they won't send up a shoot next year, unless there are seeds in the soil from years past that have not germinated. It is a...

    I have been adding to my compost pile the charred small chunks of wood left over from fires in my wood stove. Before starting the next day's fire I take out the char, and soak it to make sure it doesn't have live coals in it. Then I add it to my compost, because it picks up and retains nutrients, releasing them slowly to the plants, as needed.

    There are several different kinds of green roofs. I once lived in a partially underground house that was built into a south-facing hillside, that had a roof of sod that was continuous with the field behind and above the house. It was a fascinating place to live.
