  • Someone on the town crew was out with the boom flail mower, mowing on the sides of the road. Ostensibly, it’s to keep the drainage channels clear and to reduce plants from reaching out into the road. Guy mowed my entire front row of ferns, skipped some lilies, then mowed down my flowering and decorative grasses. At one point, he must have lifted the boom to avoid an Iris, but then brought it back down on another flowering grass in the middle of my front gardens. They’ll survive, but my front garden is going to look destroyed for a few weeks at least while they recover.

    In more positive news, we had some friends and their son visit on Sunday. My wife took the other ladies around to walk in the gardens at one point while I was cooking - I found out later that we’re part of the inspiration for some folks who are looking to start a sober living space!

    There are something like twelve common names in english, it was introduced to me as “oregano brujo” (wizard’s oregano). It’s most strongly oregano in its aerosol phenols but when I’ve used it in meals (usually in a slow cooker) it’s got notes of the thymol that come through.













  • I bit the bullet and ordered some shirts to wear while I’m working the market stand, and I’m hopeful that they make everything more cohesive. Logo is the front, catchphrase is the back:

    I helped a friend out of a bind this week, and tomorrow I’ll be helping another friend start to transplant his garden from his old house to his new one. Hopefully this heat dome doesn’t ruin our efforts.










  • First and foremost, I appreciate how patient and helpful you’ve been; thank you.

    That’s how I’ve been doing it for a while. Two years at least, as that’s when I first bumped into the pictrs limitations. I’d done it before on other message boards but made full use of it since landing at Beehaw. As of yesterday it started giving me the album links instead when following the steps as you’ve outlined.

    The alternative mentioned by Blaze and seconded by PenguinCoder does what I need very conveniently
