It's fun to play on guitar.
MAGA takeover of that board. Mead used to be a solidly union, liberal working class district before the smelter closed.
Really? I've never heard of that trick.
Cake mix requires eggs and cooking oil too.
Instead of using the money solely to reduce addiction, they created a new department to manufacture more victims of the War on Drugs.
It's sickens me to still see the same "tough on crime" approach to what is undoubtedly a public health problem. The system failed those girls over and over. Their negligence was criminal. The part about just giving the funding to the Sheriff's Office for abuse reduction angers me the most. 1/
It really bothers me when people turn off comments. And usually after allowing a handful of like-minded comments.
Venezuela has the largest known oil reserves on the planet.
East side is scorching.
If you cut it down, it grows back.
The hummingbirds are still hanging out. With temps near 100 in the Inlsnd Northwest for most of next week they'll probably stick around.
Lee lost the Civil War and was a traitor. And despite the mythologizing of his record, he was a horrible general, too.
The guitar solo on the album version of Time After Time is one of my all-time favorites. It's perfection.
I love them. Mules too. I had a Burro as a tween. Brownie. He was a gelding but still full of bravado. I trained him to pull me around on an inner tube in the snow! He'd go all day because it was just as much or more fun for him. I miss that guy. He lived 36 years!
The elite have convinced at least half of the working class that unionizing is a bad idea. At this point we just have to consider them class traitors and irredeemable.
I didn’t know it but now I need a baby donkey 😂💗
I've had donkeys and burros and they are really smart and amazing animals.
You are the only one saying that.
By saying it fifty times every speech he gave.
Wouldn't have mattered if they did or didn't. We understood the assignment.
The majority of voters in those Eastern Washington Counties aren't farmers. It's only a small fraction of people. Dryland farming requires 10's of 1000's of acres to generate profit. It's poor white trash who vote for Trump in huge numbers there.
Is it fried or broasted chicken? The peak dive bar has one of those grease filled pressure cookers in back. Waiting to deliver crispy, juicy bird or a hood fire. One of the two.
If I'm in the crowd and see that I'm telling that douchebag to give that hat to the kid or he's gonna spit teeth.
Look at those arms. He's lucky that kid didn't beat his ass.
Congress should have been the one suing the administration.
This exact point needs to be shouted from the rooftops. If Congress truly supports Trump's trade policies put it in writing. And get completely slaughtered in the mid-terms.
I live in the Palouse of Eastern Washington. Mostly dry land farming of wheat, lentils, barley, rye and orchards along waterways. 2016 the landscape was littered with Trump signs. Far fewer in 2020 and nearly non-existent in 2024. Their main customer is China. They see the writing on the wall.
Same thing to the eastern U.S. when settlers first arrived and burned only wood for heat. Now that range is completely reforested.
Too many people using our current means of farming and how we source protein.
You live right near a source. The only perch fishery near me is reserved for ice fishing. If you freeze the filets directly into water so they are in an ice block works lots better than bags or even vacuum sealing.
I get perch mainly during ice fishing. I don't target them much during the summer months because I'm getting after trout, salmon, steelhead and walleye. Perch is a piece of cake. Get a nice fish'o'filet size slab from each side. I freeze them in blocks of ice rather than bags.
I have way too much produce. As usual this time of year. I've given so much away already, have more than 200 pints of different stuff in jars already and I usually get most of my toms and peppers in the next few weeks. I'm getting weary but need to dig in and finish the season.
Nice work on those filets. Love UP Perch. So good.
We are soaring back into the low triple digits here in the INW. Good times!
Technically isn't it "Schrag/Deal?"
Trump convinced farmers China was being unfair and taking advantage of them. While the reality is that Trump is taking advantage of farmers. He gets their votes and then rewards them with record numbers of farm bankruptcies as happened in his first term.
"I stood in your gallery Seen what's hanging on the wall." Probably the coldest breakup line ever.

I saw news about the "new" sites in Peru. But nothing for the locales of the Mayan Empire.
Do you care to share the archeological record of those "dozens of other civilizations" in that exact region?
Roundabouts and literacy
For their location, it was on that scale. They denuded most of the Yucatan, southern Mexico and northern Central America. It temporarily allowed their population to explode and then they exceeded the carrying capacity of the land. It's happening all over again.
Kinda the message in Spike's new flick? Seize your means of production. It's really never been easier or a better time.
...toothpaste, deodorant, rationality, keurig pods, bud light... It's a seemingly non-exhaustive list.
I'd go AWOL. No fucking way I'm doing yard work for a deployment. They should be at home getting their own yard work done.
I agree. But they Mayans destroyed jungles for agricultural purposes which led to their eventual demise. They weren't in the business of preservation.
Lol... "The Mayan Jungle." The Mayans used slash and burn agriculture. Clearing most of the jungle for food crops. Ruining the soil in a few crop cycles because it wasn't used to direct sunlight. Then cleared more. It's why their empire collapsed.
I'm just letting those who don't know that there are other marmalades than orange. Entirely new worlds await. Venture forth!
They are smart. Who'd want the food security of their nation tied to the whims of Marmalade Mussolini?
China has already moved on. They want reliable trade partners, especially food products. Who'd want their nation's food security linked to a deranged idiot who changes trade policies (not any longer because courts ended his bullshit) like he changes his Depends underwear? FAFO Farmers.
I freeze jam. It's not necessary to can it and it saves time.
That is exactly how to care for the lid gaskets. I have a 1956 MirroMatic 8 qt pressure cooker with the original lid gasket. Clean, dry and a light coating of vegetable oil will keep the ring usable.
Nice. I buy some Cento tomato paste and mix that in when I create this product. More recipe ready that way.
I did all week. All August really. Still lots to go too.
Exactly. It can't build the pressure required to explode.
I still have the original lid gasket from a 1956 MirroMatic 8 quart model. If you keep it coated lightly with vegetable oil it won't degrade. I canned all week with it. Also, a failed gasket would inhibit pressure build up that would cause an explosion. I'm calling b.s.
The ruling also shows how the GOP Congress handed over taxation authority to the executive without a fight. This lawsuit should have started in their chambers. If the GOP Congress supports Trump's tariff policies they should pass the required legislation. Then explain that to voters.
Forest Gump still gets strong run on cable systems. It's basically on 24/7 somewhere. And I get sucked in 9 of 10 times clicking thru the channels.
Congress knows tariffs are taxes. They know only they have the power to impose taxes. But they let Trump have that power so they are shielded from responsibility for raising our taxes. We are dealing with the worst of the worst ever.
The ruling also cites a recent SCOTUS case written by the current court. So I doubt SCOTUS will even take up the case. The tariffs are dead in the water. They are taxes. That power is reserved expressly to Congress. Which brings us to the GOP led Congress who should have brought this suit!
The court demolished the Trump administration arguments. Trump's lawyers used a SCOTUS precedent to buttress their claim of executive power to impose tariffs under emergency powers. But the case they used rules the exact opposite. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
My mom is from Munising and I've been all over this lakeshore. There is no other place in the world like it. A very magical area.
Textbook stagflation. The difference between now and when this occurred in the 70's is that it is all self-inflicted. And completely unnecessary.
There is a bin at our local safeway in the meat department where they place items that need to be sold quickly or they have to throw it out. A year ago, you would rarely see beef in there, and now that's all there is. 50% off lots of different cuts and they are still too expensive for me.
What's up with the tan suit? I feel like this should be a scandal. A big scandal.
Love the canoe marina. It's an amazing paddle.
Pretty clean.
They are REALLY good at using the mouse.
I can smell them thru my phone. Yumm!
His type were fucking over progressives long before Trump and they'd go back to doing the same if the GOP dumps his movement. Screw him.
So sorry for you. RIP Sammy. Say hi to all my old friends for me.
I live in a rural area where the first cop might make it here in a half hour. You're not taking my guns. I'd have no problem with requiring insurance at time of purchase. The actuarials won't write policies for risky individuals. Owners are financially responsible and gun access is restricted.
After watching and reading comments about the horrific Minnesota shooting, it appears most Americans people missed our stories about the secret roots to the madness. I pray this repost helps. www.propublica.org/article/gunm...
I'm on team Tim Waltz. He's a fighter that the Harris campaign mistakenly bottled up.
We get the monsoon here now but only the muggy part. Never thought I'd live to be part of this.
Didn't we just try to elect a Californian?
So much waste involved in this type of processing. I've seen them scoop up truckloads of edible lettuce after these guys are done.
This is Thanos. He has figured out how to rest and babysit at the same time. Very impressive, very Montessori. 13/10 (TT: thanosthesaint)
12/10 for garage organization.
I feel like this used to start on Wednesday of Labor Day weekend? When this first started it was mostly local restaurants and now it's carnival food. It's really gone downhill for food quality and I imagine the prices this year will be sky high because MAGA are idiots who ruin everything.
And to my children I leave my collection of grocery bags that I store inside of a grocery bag.
Not as bad as your "FEMA Camps." Remember those? (sarcasm)
Peanuts to feed them so they get closer and a 50 mm pancake lens gets the same result and I'm not lugging an extra 10 pounds of expensive glass up and down a mountain.
Where are you from that a person would be disallowed entry into a profession because they are giving a one finger salute on their private social media page. Because I'd never live there. Teachers are allowed free speech where I live and I am not a lawyer who argued for Heller v D.C. So fuck off.
3 tablespoons per gallon of water. Give it a good soak and then mix it in. After mixing let it set all winter. Disturbing the soil inhibits the bacteria growth.
Dry molasses is a great soil implementation to promote bacteria growth. Because of tariffs it has become difficult to source and expensive if you can find it. You can also use liquid molasses diluted with water. Spray then mix into the soil. I do this after all crops are finished for the season
I have one bed that I use for fall greens. It had my spring crops like broccoli, etc. I've made a cover for it out of pvc pipes and clouded sheet plastic that I'll install when it turns a bit cooler so as to extend the growing season for those crops.
Any fall crops for where I live I put in the ground in late July. You're running out of sunlight and they need to be well established before September 1. A lot of soil sold for beds is devoid of essential bacterias. Make it your priority to get that going this fall before dormant season.
I use an emitter irrigation system in my beds or flat drip line. This system from Amazon is amazing for the price. I was surprised by the build quality and how easy it is to install/manipulate. It will last indefinitely if disassembled and stored properly. www.amazon.com/dp/B0D362X24...
Let's talk about that sugar pumpkin, please. When did it go in the ground? Did you sow them or start/buy the plants? Have you fed your plants every three weeks? I don't ever have a bad year. Some are better than others, but I don't do all this work to end up with little.
I had my best year ever, or at least in a long time. That hill of spuds I dug into was the only one that had small yields. I ended up with nearly 200 pounds. All my fruit trees had banner years, along with the berries. What zone are you in? Soil prep, especially in the fall, is the most crucial.
If you want to come at me for my teaching abilities, probably a good idea to master the nuances between "there" and "their" beforehand.
"they allow that." WTF does that even mean? Telling children the safest place for them is school is being honest. They are 100's of times more likely to be harmed at home or in the community. Usually by a family member. You can lick my balls, mate. I was teacher of the year twice in my state.
As a teacher I would tell them that school is the safest place for them to be statistically.
They can have my credit. Take it. Please.
I eat it directly from the container.
I think it's because they weren't picked on.
It's cover for juvenile selfishness.
I figured out the chords and sing it every time I busque downtown.
