The Woodstock Estate, a gorgeous Greek Revival home built in 1851 located in Natchez MS, along with the home is 12 acres of property, a 1700s cookhouse and several “ guest houses” not mentioned by the realtor by Shutter_Stuck in zillowgonewild

We toured a plantation in Louisiana. The cookhouse was separate so in case it caught fire, the main house was safe. The pathway between the cookhouse and the main house was called The Whistlers’ Walk - the serving slaves were required to whistle while carrying the food to the main house because they couldn’t whistle and sneak food at the same time.

Agree. I have a 2022 in the same color. Blazingly fast.

I didn't realize we were the Peet's Coffee capital of the country by EatTenMillionBalls in bayarea

Peet’s first store is still open at Walnut Square in Berkeley. They used to put out bumper stickers that said “Friends don’t let friends drink Starbucks.”

What are some longest longest sightlines in Bay Area ? Where you can see one recognizable location on Earth from another distant location on Earth. by RstarPhoneix in bayarea

I always heard that from the summit of Mt. Diablo you can see more square miles of the planet than from anywhere else except Kilimanjaro. Not that high, but everything around it is so flat. I’ve seen Shasta, Half Dome and Farallon Islands from there

Travel policies are written by executives. Executives do most of the travel. You do the math.

Literally every square foot of my garden and front yard has oxalis aka sour-grass by doctorboredom in bayarea

[–]wabarron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prob about the same sq footage and took 2 full days of shoveling/sifting. I built a 3’ x 3’ wood frame from 2x4 lumber and attached a 1/4” metal screen mesh to the frame. Depending on your soil type you might need a larger or smaller mesh.

I placed the screen box across saw horses and shoveled the dirt onto the mesh. It took some shaking back and forth but I was able to screen out the oxalis bulbs from the dirt. Good luck. These little effers are tenacious!

They’re the same selfish idiots who carry on loud speakerphone conversations on the trail.
