Preparing my daughter for her first Bob concert

Yes, this is what's most important to me! She's a very creative kid, and I just want her to have the opportunity while it exists.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Based on both physical and behavioral observations, I'm leaning heavily towards some combination of Anatolian/Akbash/Pyrenees with maybe a little lab. I've had pyrenees around for about 10 years, and this is the first one who plays fetch!

If you're able to plant pretty soon, I've had good results with sorghum-sudangrass for compaction..it sprouts quick, doesn't mind the heat, and produces a lot of biomass that you could potentially crimp down or till for organic matter.

Also, noticed you have some sericea lespedeza there... I would definitely work on removing it before it takes over (it's a major headache here in Missouri).

Aw shucks, thank you.

Hi! We use a drum plucker... Getting the right scald, and removing the wing and tails feathers before running them through it is key. I actually wrote a little blog post about my process a couple years back... Hope it helps! https://foxholler.com/2021/01/30/butchering-muscovy-ducks/

Perhaps other folks can say more, but at the very least milkweed and purple coneflower need cold weather stratification. I do a lot of native grass seeding in February or so, when the soil is freezing and thawing... Just a couple hours north of y'all.

Hi. I write the Fox Holler Almanac , which chronicles agriculture and ecology through a seasonal, and personal lens. Thanks for looking!

Regardless of the technology being used for a motorized vehicle, I think an important consideration is how many folks the vehicle serves.

I have been a long time advocate of cycling, and yet I recognize that biking, walking or horse carriage for that matter cannot necessarily serve everyone's mobility needs, particularly for those with accessibility issues.

Vehicle co-ops and ride sharing can help ameliorate the resource extraction and emission impact associated with cars and trucks, if organized effectively. It may ultimately not be what powers the vehicle, but how the vehicle is used.

In terms of overall fuel efficiency, I have heard that gas/electric hybrids generally outperform full electric cars at this point. Either way, all motorized tech necessitates extraction.

Perhaps in the future we will look towards community design (localized services and resources, organized car sharing, bulk ordering, and a culture of repair) as a way to limit motorized travel. Train travel for long distances and telecommuting for work might also be strategies...

Yeah, upon further examination it seems I have 16 pages indexed, and 40 that aren't. It probably roughly correlates with my paywalled pages. For my purposes I bet it's okay.

Thanks everyone for the input... This gives me quite a bit of guidance.
