Science Has Found God
It's awesome if you think about it. It's like Laminin. Only it's the Laminin of the universe!

Science Has Found God
Question: So this thing holds matter together. So we've discovered it. What exactly (all Evolution verses Creationism aside) does this mean for science and humans now and in the future?

50 Shades of Blackberries: just in time for Father's Day
I don't have the recipe with me, but when I can get it I'll gladly share it! Interesting fact on grand daddy long legs: They are one of the most poisonous spider in the world but due to their tiny mouths, they can't bite you! Another chigger/flea tip, dust your feet, ankles and lower leg with sulfer.

50 Shades of Blackberries: just in time for Father's Day
After finding and killing three snakes and finding one other one (two of which were sizeable copperheads), we decided to forgo the berry picking this year. The brambles are also liberally laced with poison ivy. My favorite way to use the berries is homemade blackberry ice cream. It's heavenly!

Do you support the effort in New York City to limit the size of sugary drinkss?
What's going to keep people from buying, say two or maybe even three 12ounce drinks, instead of one legal sized small drink? If someone wants to drink a lot of pop, they're going to find a way to do it.

Where is your favorite place to go for a slice of pizza, and what makes that pizza a cut above the rest?
The Gondolier in Knoxsville had the most delicious sort of chicken and Fettacinni cheese pizza.

Have you spotted a bear recently in Douglas County?
Boy howdy do we have groundhogs 'round here! We have what appears to be a whole colony of them dwelling in an abandoned building on our property. They've also developed a frustrating taste for my garden. Hmmmm...I wonder how they taste?
