Left A Slide wrote:Wow! that is just awesome! Nice work
Thank you. Now how about some pictures of those bonzai trees? I've always wanted to do one of those but it seems like something you need fine motor skills for. I'm more of a sledge hammer than a scalpel.

As I said last year, taking Left A Slide's cue, I built two 4' x 8' raised beds, then quickly added a third and later, two more. I also built two trellises (trelli?), one for sugar snaps and one for french green beans. Only three of the beds are in use this year because I built the last two late and...

Can we still talk about gardening? Because I'm starting to shoot that shit up like heroin. Seriously, it's become an obsession.

Bob Dylan's Speech 2/7/15

This is the transcript of Bob Dylan's speech when accepting the MusiCares Person of the Year Award. I think it will be well worth your time to read it. Not unlike the post about Physical Graffiti, I am too young to have appreciated a lot of his work when it was new, but I am so much richer for knowi...

Oh, Let the Sun Beat Down Upon my Face...

This is gorgeous. Watch the girl in back playing drums and keeping time, she's fantastic. I was 3 years old when this album came out but high school was made immeasurably better by its presence. http://www.npr.org/event/music/388722887/watch-middle-school-kids-play-a-led-zeppelin-medley-on-xylophones

Baylor and TCU's bullshit hurt feelings notwithstanding, anyone have thoughts on the College Football Playoff Committee's selection of Ohio State? The other three? Will the Big 12 ever figure it out?

I may be wrong, but a team that gave up 48 points in their finale (among other defensive atrocities throughout the year) might want to consider the talents of a man like that.

Re: Looking for an old podcast

Hey all - I've been looking for a podcast Jay did with a couple of college kids right before he went onstage for a festival performance. It was an interview and then he played Methamphetamine and The Kinks "I'm Not Like Everybody Else". It would have been about 2 months before The Search came out. ...

Any thoughts on Charlie Strong's performance so far? Are we looking at another off season full of asshole Texas fans' boasting of their deep pockets and clamoring for Nick Saban? Excuse me? Saban is that gross broken solo flip-flop you see after a festival. I'm loving Coach Strong, mainly for what ...

Reporting a fox in our suburban neighborhood. long, lean, low to the ground, pointy ears, bushy tail. We got this laissez faire thing going. I throw out over ripe goods or moldy fridge stuff and maybe the fox'll eat it. maybe fox'll stop sometime and talk. i could use the company. You should get ou...

Now we're all friends here and I don't want to step on anyone's toes or offend anyone but I went to the show at the Myerhoff in Baltimore on Monday night and it was quite impressive. Tweedy came out and didn't say a word and launched into a song called "Down From Above" which was fantastic!! The ne...

I am afraid of bridges, sometimes I have to turn around. When I'm driving towards one and my heart begins to pound. Last night at the bridge to Johnsburg I swerved down a dead end street. I sat there shaking in an empty lot full of broken glass and weeds. Then past me in the darkness ran four wild ...

Derek* did your elderly woman behind the counter and across the fence give you any lip regarding boundaries? Nice fence job. Can we get any closer shots showing specific wood privacy fence construction or detailing? And are there any shots of shirtless fence builders? Discuss. *I like to say Derek ...
