Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Down on the Farm

My weekend is over.  I get to go back to work... on a Friday knowing that my next weekend will not happen until next Wednesday.  That's sucks.
I was down on the farm yesterday - my brother's farm.  He and his wife have a very large garden, they do need to spend more time weeding.  My grandparents had a large garden and my grandma weeded for a couple of hours every day.  They are a lot of work.
He has chickens and turkeys and a pot bellied pig, as well as an old dog.  Oh, and there's a 5 foot black snake living in the barn... somewhere.  I told him to let the snake alone, it will eat the rats.  There are always rats because of the grain.  That's also why cats are a valuable asset.  They just love eating rodents.  I snapped a pic of him in the barn with two of his turkeys.


I asked him if they're going to be eaten.  He said, "nah, they're pets."  My brother has a pet farm.  They'll get eggs from the chickens, but that's about it.
They also have walnut trees.


I got some tomatoes and peppers as well.  I told him they need to start making sauce.
Oh, and I saw that Melanoma's parents became citizens in a private ceremony yesterday.  Isn't it interesting how the Idiot Jerk says that's a shitty way for immigrants to become Americans... but it works for him just fine.  Another funny thing is that the Idiot Jerk's administration now wants to make becoming a citizen even more difficult.  These people are so damn two-faced it's ridiculous.

  2. Melanie's parents are the beneficiaries of chain migration, which is acceptable if the immigrant is white.

    1. You should probably stick to the variety you're familiar with... you get a totally different reaction when you try and pet this variety.
