Too close for comfort March 20, 2023
In reply to Defense Window: 1942: Especially the hulking lad breathing down the youngster's neck. I recall from childhood that such lack of physical distancing between strangers was tolerated and even the norm in some circumstances. Such uninvited closeness, in a present day North American society queue up, would undoubtedly result in instantaneous verbal chastisement […]

Hydroponic Towers Made Easy July 22, 2022
Hydroponic Towers Made Easy will chronicle my journey into the hydroponic gardening world. At first, I was intimidated by the mere thought of growing food in hydroponic towers. I thought, that’s WAY too much work and involves way too many aspects I know nothing about. Chemicals, pH balance, water pumps, special sprouting trays… UGH. Just […]

Shazam! Fury Of The Gods opens at number one at the weekend box office, and let’s leave it at that March 19, 2023
Yes, Shazam! Fury Of The Gods has indeed opened lower then the first movie and lower than analysts predicted it would, debuting at just over $30 million and continuing a trend of disappointment for DC superhero movies. But, it still opened in the top spot at the domestic box office, and that’s worth being proud […]

Comparing Mint Plants: Spearmint, Apple & Chocolate April 23, 2020
Mint is a reasonably cold-hardy perennial, meaning it grows back every year under the right conditions. Just like there are many different kinds of tomatoes (cherry, beefsteak, roma, etc.), there are plenty different varieties of mint, too. Here’s an overview comparison of three different kinds of mints that grow well for me in Anchorage, Alaska: […]
