    That is really tough on folks who have that up here.

    Fruit trees.

    My wife buys lemons and limes on clearance, juices them, freezes them in a silicon ice cube tray, then pops them out and stores them frozen in a zipped bag for use later as needed.

    GARDENING 2025

    I think we mentioned leaf mold in previoux posts. It is best to do that with the leaves before putting them in the garden. It should only take a few months in Florida.

    More fraud found

    Now there has been allegedly found over a billion dollars in fraud in the student loan program. A lot of student loans were made to "students" who are apparently dead. It is said that retrieving the money that has already been paid will be impossible, but future payments on those accounts will...

    Trump has apparently signed a trade deal with the EU.

    According to the Daily Mail, Trump is trying to dismantle the EU. According to the Mail, a document has leaked which outlines Trump's plans to backdoor negotiate with Hungary, Poland Italy and Austria to persuade them to pull out of the EU Brexit-style, and sign trade agreements with the U.S...

    Fruit trees.

    The pole just goes on the basket, and you can make it as long as you need to if you can control it. Usually reaching above 15 feet from the ground is tough, but maybe you are stronger than I am. The tractor attachment was meant as a joke @Jake Smith. I think most of the commercial poles are...

    Catastrophic flooding in Western Washington State.

    We get atmospheric rivers here as well. In the summer they bring rain and in the winter it is snow. For two years in a row, we had tremendous amounts of snow. It is a product of the Pacific Ocean. The Atlantic may have the same but on a smaller scale and it would impact areas of Europe, not...

    What's your Weather like today

    The ones I dealt with were not so nice. I think mine were from the 1970s. That looks great @Yvonne Smith. We replaced ours with something called a Gaspack or some such ( I never saw it written). It heated with gas and cooled with electricity. It made life in South Georgia much more pleasant.

    Metals, a Hedge or Investment Depending on Your Views... or a Sucker's Bet?

    While what is sold to Canadians is often of good quality no matter what it is--food, drugs, etc.--what is marketed outside the country often isn't. It is sad that we cannot trust our closest (in culture) neighbor.

    -14 F. as I go to bed. We'll see what it is in the morning.

    Fruit trees.

    It is on the end of a pole, and how high it reaches depends on the length of the pole. If you use a shorter pole but stand on a ladder, it is more controllable. Then, of course, there is something like this:)

    Has Trump outsmarted everybody?

    I think the answer is obvious. I am very surprised they put Obama so low. I don't know if he even owned a house before he became President, but he owns several now. Perhaps Obama's pay-offs came after leaving office for services rendered, while Clinton was paid while still in office.

    That was posted this weekend. As you said, we'll wait.

    Metals, a Hedge or Investment Depending on Your Views... or a Sucker's Bet?

    Believe what you want, but things I see don't indicate that London is flush, especially with silver. They seem to be trying to stay afloat. London silver squeeze: the immediate ignition point The latest surge traces back to the October historic tightening in London, still the main centre for...

    Are we going to war with Venezuela?

    Interesting. I wonder where that falls legally?

    Anti-Communism riots in Cuba

    Havana and surrounding areas in Cuba are now apparently having large anti-Communism riots just as New York City is about to become Communist. Interesting.... Link to riot

    Minnesota Legislators and Spouses Shot

    The investigation into the fraud in Minnesota is now coming to this guy Boelter. There are allegations that the legislator that was killed cast the deciding vote to stop Somalis from getting some aspects of government funding and the other guy was somehow connected with investigating the extent...

    Metals, a Hedge or Investment Depending on Your Views... or a Sucker's Bet?

    I saw one notice that the London Exchange is now leasing silver from China to cover the demands for metal. Things are interesting. I guess silver did not make Trump's list of controlled exports, while gold did.

    He Actually Has A Plan

    If the Democrats take the House next year, it will be a never-ending string of baseless impeachments until Trump is out of office, and as much as can be done to reverse what has been accomplished will be done.
