34. Well Said Y'all - Humanity Often Employs Confirmation Bias In Addition To Many "Logical" Divergences

Fri May 16, 2025, 09:34 AM

May 2025

Just got back from Red River Research Experiment Station in Bossier City, LA with one large box of green tomatoes, one large box of ripe tomatoes, and nearly three pounds of cherry tomatoes.

I wanted to stick around for the yellow crookneck squash they were harvesting...
Unfortunately I needed to hurry on back to slap some front pads on our GLE.

They offer pesticide free vegetables from mid March generally through September. We're frequent customers!

Happy Friday again...

May your day be bright and your enjoyment immense!
