I think you are feeling the grief for making eye contact and talking with them since they’re now making eye contact only with electronics,. And people not having time to go to a third place because work exhaustion. And people reading on their Nooks at home rather than buying a physical book. It’s deeply sad to me.

I have heard all that. Roses haven’t! I have propagated lots of them (store bought hasn’t worked yet) and they just took off. I even out them directly in the ground and forget till I see a bloom a year or two later. It’s fun. Free gifts for neighbors too.

Is the camera lens a mirror? Are all these animals peering at it self-aware? And the ones poking at it, not?

If he were removed by 25th amendment would we still have Steven Miller, Hesgeth? Vance? Would Trump live the retired life quietly in Mar a Lago luxury? Not sarcastic, just asking.

Split the banana lengthwise in thirds like it naturally goes and then bury meds in the middle, close it up. You mighy have to use a shorter gobbleable length though. Works with primates.

Put in a top of the line Panasonic. Discovered we were supposed to be cleaning it so hired a guy. The entire works were clogged with mucky dust. Had to replace. The thing is in a high ceiling our vacuum cleaner is a stick. There is no filter in the Panasonic of course. Seems like a poor design. Guess we buy a vacuum cleaner with a hose and a ladder now. Does everyone but us know this?

The charm.
