That would really fuck up the birds. We need less light pollution, not more.

We’ve got 3 massive bur oaks in the yard, we managed to get in a couple of hardy apples, so not much room for additional trees, sadly. The shade can be a limiting factor, too. Always experimenting with something, though!

We’re zone 3, some areas of our garden that I can baby a zone 4 plant to do all right. Gotta love some urban micro climate. But there are a lot of plants that just don’t thrive here. I do have a lavender that has come back 3 years running. I won’t know until late April whether we’ll get a fourth.

Is it really a war?

Play along with Andrew Heaton's new game show.

Interesting. I’m not sure I’d draw all the conclusions the narrator does, but interesting plants. I wonder if they could survive in our zone?

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

Saskatchewan has been managing it since the 1960s. Going to school in half light wasn’t a big deal and we actually had more usable outdoor time after school.

It looks a lot like shingles.

I have to do this on a smaller scale in my backyard every spring - it’s surprisingly satisfying.

I am very tired of RFK Jr.'s bullshit.

My mother died from cervical cancer. She was only 37. I was 8.

An HPV vaccine means fewer 8 year old boys burying their mother. I went to bed crying, saying "mom" every night for months so fuck this lying piece of shit who is killing us.

I'm sure that now there is a power gap in Iran, they'll stop and have democratic elections to figure out who would be best to lead them through this war. That's how it works, right?

More rambling - a replica of Francis Drake’s ship and a quack made good immortalized in Southwark Cathedral.

In London - a day to walk off the jet lag. Borough Market - paella, Turkish coffee and football fans (I think - no idea what they were doing, but it was fun).
