I need to remember to add DE to my shopping list. Or at least slug bait.Off an on rain here in Southern Ontario Canada. Went to the site today to do some dusting with D.E. using this dusterminus the extension wand.
Makes it so easy to apply the dust where you want it. Hope that'll keep away the slugs enough in the problem areas..

Tzatziki sauce? There's an art to it.

Brewed or instant?

I'm trying to get used to instant when hiking, so I'm drinking it at the camp too. I add just a little Nesquick and sugar and it's drinkable. I do have ground when I'm really wanting a cup of real coffee. Hiking has got me to thinking more about water usage. On the trail it is a pain to clean out your pot. And some say you should pack your grounds out. I wouldn't want to do that.

Grounds are organic, won't hurt the environment.

I use them in the garden. But I have seen on some hiker boards that it is the correct way to do things. That would be one of those hike your own hike moments if anyone gave me shit about it.
I'm going to get one of those little screen filters that go inside your cup, and see how that shakes out.

It was a rainy morning here. I transplanted Armenian cucumber sprouts in the rain, so they should do well.
At 1730 it's partly cloudy, 77F with 84% humidity. Forecast high/low is 81/71F with 90% chance of rain. We have had .75" since midnight.

Are you referring to the red and green clouds, part of the NASA experiment?

I heard an interesting story on NPR while I was driving into work today. About planting mangroves in southern La where the salt marsh is eroding. Oil companies are paying for it.

Had a mostly rainy day today. I tried to finish my pre-cleaning lady house cleaning early enough to get out in the rain to transplant the three plants I had dropped off earlier in the week. Didn't make it before the sun came out, but it did rain again later.
At 2005 it's overcast, 70F with 94% humidity. Forecast high/low is 84/65F with 10% chance of rain. I guess that means the rain has gone and the cold front is here. Looks like a couple three days of sun, then at least five more days of rain starting Sunday. I wish my plants were waist high. They would be loving this rain.

I just read 4 articles in the series. Between the levees hemming up the Mississippi and shoving the silt out to sea and sea level rise due to global warming, it sounds like the entire bayou is doomed.
And that's a truly terrible thing.
What's worse is that a tiny group of people are responsible for the current administration making the decision to walk away from the Paris Climate Accord, people who won't be held accountable for the unfolding disaster in the bayou and around the whole world.
Insane.

But the oil companies know they need to do something. Government is so slow, they are spending the money trying to slow it down. That one port services 90% of the Gulf oil wells. One badly placed hurricane and the flow is cut off.

The assholes behind Chump's Paris Climate Accord debacle aren't oil men; they're Charles and David, the Koch smokers. Coal; Duke Energy, Koch Industries, among other holdings. Their desire for profits are hurting the entire planet and I fervently hope they suffer mightily for their selfishness.

The low cost of natural gas is going to keep cutting coal's share of electrical generation. At least in this country. No matter how many rules and regulations those guys rewrite.

The son of a couple of Duke board members, who like many of their fellow board members, met with bad "accidents", bought a bunch of timber land in NW Florida. He lost his mom and dad, but gained all their shares {and everything else they had}. He sold most of the land to the North West Florida Water Management Board {or some such}. Parts of the Florida Trail are on it.

I misspoke. His mom and dad were murdered, home invasion style. Some of the others had scuba and airplane problems.
