Yesterday we had a fascinating discussion on the Facebook Regarians page about Mulberry, I know it is awesome, I am growing a lot of varieties but I didn’t realize how much it could really do.   In fact I considered just doing a show today called something like Magnificent Mulberries, because they do so much.  I simply realized though that I can’t take in enough on them this morning alone to do them justice, so that might come at a later date. I mean if you just begin to look into the above linked discussion the sheer volume of data is … Continue reading →

Many are shocked by what is going on in Baltimore, sadly I am not.  Many are even more shocked at the massive disconnect in opinions of Americans across the nation, how split they are and in many cases largely not divided on racial lines, I am not surprised by this either. Right now in social media we have three primary responses People calling for shooting all rioters, cloaked often with phrases like “crack down” People cheering the rioters on as some sort of “freedom fighters” and encouraging attacks on the police People delineating between “peaceful protesters” and “thugs” and calling … Continue reading →

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

This morning we got 3 hours of pouring rain.  Then this afternoon we got hit with close to an inch in less than 30 minutes and it totally filled the swales and overflowed them all.  To really drive home how passive this water system is, this video was shot only 5 minutes after the storm stopped. The other storm I mentioned did hit us as well and we got another 30 minutes of hard rain about 30 minutes after this video, everything continued to preform perfectly.

Sadly a component of the “sovereign citizen movement” have actually ruined the word, “sovereign citizen”.  While many in the movement are peaceful and tend to operate via turning the state unto itself via the courts, enough idiots have committed acts of violence under the phrase to widely ruin what it was supposed to mean. However, as so often is the case that which is ruined often leads to that which is better.  In this case I think the term “sovereign human” is a much better term.  Citizen denotes a state, and a state denotes control.  But no matter our state … Continue reading →
