What's on your mind? (2024)

Thank God for good tires (and, no doubt, fast reflexes). Glad all is well with you and hope your dad does well with his procedure.

Thank you, I’ve kept up on reading some of the topics, but am sorely behind on others! I do have stuff I’m anxious to share.

lol - thought it was high time to post, especially after yesterday. Happy we were in a relatively rural area, with big wide medians and a lot of sagebrush - yay the great west! Lots of garden stuff to post about & also this year’s recently harvested garlic crop, on the garden topic.

Dill. Dill is on my mind. Specifically dill seeds. My deck dill has gone to seed and I’m harvesting. Absolutely devoid of ideas for using them. Maybe try some micro greens?

Dill and onion bread, dill infused vinegar, dill infused butter, for 3.

Not that I saw, but this bruin figured out how to knock the can down backwards, and pop the latch that way (brute force, maybe it stomped on the can?). The neighbor’s cans that got knocked over were on their sides. I’ve seen the bears in Yosemite open the sliding passenger doors in minivans. We had a bear climb a tree and reel in a clothes line that went to our 3rd story bedroom balcony. The bird feeder was in the middle of the 30’ line. They are clever!

So glad for your post and moreso for your excellent/miraculous driving recovery.

Re garbage bins, we don’t have bears in San Francisco, but we have food recycling and incredibly manually dexterous raccoons. Green bins need to be placed tightly against a wall and between trash and recycle bins or your scraps will be strewn throughout the area, minus the morsels they found acceptable.

Yep. Bear stomps can force car doors. Garbage cans are kindergarten work for them.

Have you ever wondered why people, especially woman, are embarrassed about snoring? I have shared hotel rooms with two women who snore, and when I was asked “I didn’t snore, did I?”, I didn’t say yes. I often go to sleep listening to Audible so it’s not a big stretch.

We used to call those green bins ‘meals on wheels’.

Maybe because it’s been normalized as a male thing to be done? I think more of us (males, I am) are overweight than women, and more people associate snoring with male overweight?. Just spitballng here,
