Reduced Readership Is Good

Posted on June 30, 2009 by Rusty

Posted on June 28, 2009 by Rusty

Almost as annoying as Rachael Ray, but with a beard, and no strange giggle, tv pitchman Billy Mays was found dead at the age of 50. I seldom turn on the tv to watch anything other than Food Network, the … Continue reading →

OT: Effin’ Deer

Posted on June 26, 2009 by Rusty

Overnight, the deer got a few of my daylilies.  For whatever reason, they leave the Stella D’Oros alone, but go after the others.  No rabbit can reach 2.5′ up to nibble bloom stalks at perfect 45 degree angles.  No siree.  … Continue reading →

NUVI Chicago

Posted on June 25, 2009 by Rusty

My NUVI arrived today.  It’s a mid-range (price-wise) GPS thing that can get planted on the dash or windshield.  I don’t drive an 18-wheeler, so I really don’t need a high end model. What is hilarious is that when I … Continue reading →

OT: SEPOS

Posted on June 24, 2009 by Rusty

It’s no secret that I’ve been growing orchids for decades.  Given that, I figured I’d check out the SEPOS site to see whether it’s worth joining.  Years ago, I attended a few meetings at another orchid society, and decided it … Continue reading →
