Our elders weren't boring, they were onto something. Turns out, slow mornings, tending to plants, getting lost in books, early home-cooked dinners, a firm mattress, deep sleep, and minding your own peaceful business is a glorious way to live..🙏❤️

There is an abundance of oil. There is an abundance of coal. There is an abundance of gas. There is an abundance of food. There is an abundance of water. Scarcity is being fabricated by psychopaths.

This IOC does the right thing and implements sex testing. At the LA Olympics, women's sports will be women only. This is huge. Well done IOC.

Good mernin and happy Thursday to my early risers, night owls, insomniacs, and neurospicy besties. A cold front is going to blast through the region from the northeast towards the southwest this afternoon into tonight. Impacting our northern zones first, and then getting into SW Kansas and southern Colorado this evening into tonight. I believe areas west of the Continental Divide going onto the western slope will be wondering what front? lol The models have delayed the arrival by a few hours compared to yesterday. As a result, we will get a few more hours of daytime heating before temperatures fall behind the front. We will max out in the 70s to near 80 across the northern half of the region while areas down south along Hwy 50 may climb well into the 90s again lol #LeGagMe With the frontal passage, winds will be blowy out of the NE plowing towards the SW at 5-15mph G 25-35mph. There will also be some extra clouds, and the possibility of a few scattered gusty showers and isolated thunderstorms as well. Much cooler on Friday. To the tune of 30-40 degrees. #Whiplash Highs on Friday will be in the 40s and 50s while you'll bask in Mother Nature's warm glowing warming glow on the Western Slope in the 70s lol Back into the 70s and 80s this weekend. #Whiplash Heading into Monday, a little mid-level moisture will creep into Colorado's mountains with the chance for a few scattered rain showers that could linger into Tuesday. A few of those showers may spill off the foothills and onto portions of the I-25 corridor and eastern plains depending on which model you look at. Late Tuesday into Wednesday, a storm system is going to move through the Great Basin and eject into portions of the central and northern plains. The GFS and EURO agree on bringing a cold front through our region with precipitation chances Tuesday night into Wednesday, but a lot of other details they disagree on. Once that storm exits the region by Thursday, then the forecast models go separate ways after that like a bad breakup. 🤣 So I'll park the update there for meow. I got my workies cut out for me. Keep checking in. I'll keep you updated like I always do! 😎 What do you call a cheap vampire? Discount Dracula or bargain bite enthusiast shopping for necks on a budget. 🤣🥴😂😆😜🤣🥴😂😆😜 I'll throw myself out.

Hilaire Belloc explains that to read is to enter a conversation that never ends: “The purpose of a book is not to flatter the reader nor to confirm him in what he already believes. The purpose of a book is to challenge, to awaken, to remind a man that he stands in a long tradition of thought and struggle. A man who reads well does not merely consume words; he enters into a conversation that began long before he was born and will continue after he is gone.”

Helen Andrews on why universities keep sliding into wokeness: “Universities today are very feminized. I think that is maybe a long-term threat to their viability as institutions of the pursuit of truth… As long as institutions remain feminized, the threat will still be there.” Interim fix? Adopt strong statements of academic freedom now — so the next wave of ideological capture can be pushed back. The deeper pattern: When any institution reaches a critical mass of women, it tends to prioritize emotional safety, consensus, and social harmony over raw truth-seeking and debate. Do you see “feminization” of institutions (schools, corporations, media) as a real driver of ideological conformity and cancellation culture? Or is this just blaming women for cultural shifts that have other causes? Your take 👇

Ricky Gervais most powerful statement.

A mound of buried logs covered with soil and compost creates a self-watering garden bed that needs significantly less irrigation — for up to five years. Hugelkultur is a German word meaning mound culture. The concept is simple. Stack rotting logs and branches on the ground, cover them with soil, and plant directly on top. The buried wood acts as a giant sponge. Decomposing hardwood absorbs and holds substantial amounts of water. A mound with a solid log core stores enough moisture underground to keep roots hydrated for weeks between waterings — releasing it slowly upward through the soil all season. The first year, the wood pulls nitrogen from the soil as it starts decomposing. Offset this by planting light feeders — carrots, beets, potatoes, and radishes thrive in the loose well-drained mound soil without extra fertilizer. By year two the decomposition reverses. The mound starts releasing nutrients instead of consuming them and watering needs drop noticeably. The mound shrinks a few inches per year as the wood breaks down. After four to five years what remains is some of the richest spongiest soil your garden has ever had — built entirely from waste wood. 🌱 How to build one: 1. Lay the largest logs directly on the ground as the base — fallen branches, storm debris, pruned limbs, or logs from any tree removal all work 2. Fill gaps with smaller branches and twigs. Pack them in tightly so the mound has fewer air pockets 3. Cover the wood layer with a thick layer of leaves, grass clippings, or other organic material 4. Top with six to eight inches of soil mixed with compost. This is the planting surface 5. Plant root vegetables the first year while nitrogen is being consumed. Switch to heavier feeders like squash, tomatoes, and peppers in year two when the mound starts releasing nutrients 6. Water normally the first season while the wood saturates. From year two onward the mound holds enough moisture that you can reduce watering significantly between rains Build it for free from wood you already have. Water it less every year. Harvest from it for five 🌿
