Haves nice weekend !
Cowellian’s first
No book report. Have a very nice weekend. I’m going to enjoy my yard work. I’ve set up a tabletop garden on the back porch some of the seeds are sprouting spring green beginnings. High enough to critters off so only have to worry about bugs and birds.
It’s OK to take a break from the norm now and then. Get out and soak up some vitamin D and enjoy it. It’s soooo nice out.
My favorite little joke of this week:
A little boy and his grandmother were walking along the seashore when a huge wave appeared out of nowhere and swept the child out to sea. The grandmother, horrified, falls to her knees and says “God, please return my beloved grandson. Please, I beg of you. Send him back safely.” Suddenly another huge wave washed in and deposited the little boy on the sand at her feet. She picked him up, looked him over, and, looking up at the sky, said “He had a hat!”
What plants do you grow in your summer garden? We stick with tomatoes (Roma), sunflowers, cayenne pepper and, unsuccessfully for 2 years, artichoke.
We grow fava & sunflowers, …. started in January. But soon the tomatoes, swiss chard, red/gold beets, a bit late on the lettuce this year, and pickling cucumbers. Somestimes cantaloupe, garlic & onions and cilantro. Really would like to have spinach, but poor luck with it. We have done many other veggies in the past but need to set up a watering system to expand. Our garden area is about 1800 ft. We use well water.
nice size garden, color me green with envy!
Tomatoes, 3 kinds; garlic, onion, hot pepper, and carrot. Trying artichoke again which I did get several years ago in the ground but long since died out.
I had 2 artichoke plants where I used to live and they must have been 20 years old. The would produce a lot of artichokes every spring. I bought 2 plants last year and planted them at my new house and I already have one artichoke. I’ve never had any luck with seeds.
Pick One:
.
A) Dulce de tres leches
B) Ptasie mleczko
C) Yuck
@ S ~ I had to look both of these items up.
I would probably eat a whole box of B in 3 days.
@Roz
Would it take you that long? 🙂
@ CYN ~
I would use the treat as a reward. Yeah, kind of silly little game.
Vacuum the house, get a treat. Clean the bathroom, etc.
@S
A)
I’ve had Dulce De Leche ice cream, so I had an idea of what A was; however, I didn’t have a clue what “Ptasie Mleczko” was and like Roz, had to look it up.
Ptasie Mleczko…. wasn’t he that Polish liberal activist who suffocated trying to eat some pickles?
(His head got stuck in the jar)
“A”
I like it chilled with very little frosting; a little sprinkle of cinnamon.
🙂
Roz & Cyn, ‘B’ is a little rich, just a little goes a long way…. Happy week to you both; and everyone…
Ever think that those who thought high- school geometry is useless can’t parallel park?
I’m a resident of Concord. Thursday night from around 11:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. my 2015 Chevy Camaro SS was stolen. It is all red with a black hood vent, black spoiler, and a sticker on the back window that says “never forget your vets”. We also had a work van stolen from in front of our house a week prior. Several neighbors have been having stuff stolen as well. If anybody seen my Camaro, please contact authorities and report it. I also believe that city council needs to be addressed on the rise of crime in the city of Concord. I work as a tradesman then there. I’ve been a number of jobs within Concord or thousands of dollars of tools have been stolen and equipment vandalized. This is getting out of control especially with all the homeless living around these commercial buildings that are being broken into
hope you find it Joshua. Sucks.
Old Style $20 Dollar Bills…
At the ATM, I was dispensed all old style 20’s… unusual but ok….
Problem is when the store/restaurant puts them through their counterfeit machines they come up bad!
This has happened twice to me, now. Luckily I had other bills to use at the time.
Will be taking them back to the bank and exchange for newer ones.
The Concord Police just had a meeting reguarding gun violence and other problems on April 3rd. We do not have enough officers thanks to the Dems defend the Police policy. Best way to stop crime vote Republican. Urge your family and neighbors to do the same.
You are 100% right. This s*** is getting out of control. I just had my brand new Camaro SS stolen right in front of my house Thursday night. My landlord’s son’s work truck was stolen a week before in front of the house. Neighbors had to Denali stolen and another friend had their brand new twin turbo SUV stolen all in Concord. I think it’s time we call meeting with the city council and address to them these issues and get on them to do their job. The homeless population is out of control and all the crime and tweaking going on needs to stop. I’m seeing taxpayers dollars wasted on them, cleaning up homeless camps just for them to come right back like it’s normal. I’m a tradesman to work all over the Bay area and constantly in Concord. I see them cleaning up an area and the guys moving across the way. Then the city coming back and cleaning up that spot in the guy’s moving right back waste of money
I see people parking their cars outside all the time because their garages are so packed with crap, and most of the time it’s stuff they will never use again.
Garages are a great theft deterrent if you can park your car in there.
as one of the filled-with-crap garages, truer words never spoken. Every time I think I am gaining on it, somehow more crap appears. One of these days…
To the man in the cream colored Toyota pickup truck with the American flag decal on the tailgate: The speed limit on Michigan Blvd is 25 MPH, not 40 MPH as you seem to enjoy. There are families with small children on this street. Please slow down.

The good news is cold weather Tues and Wed will help stabilize the melt. They are dropping the flood watch today for western NV and will reinstate Friday. Interesting thing I’ve learned is the farther east the Carson River goes the higher the flood risk. Carson City itself has a lower risk than Fallon. The Carson Sink is out in the Great Basin as is the Walker Sink. They are not very worried about the Truckee flooding and Tahoe has plenty of room for run-off. And per norm Washoe lake will go over its banks and across 580/395. Yeah the NDOT engineers did plan that freeway very well. It is closed for wind frequently and for blowing snow and flooding at times. The old highway never closed. NDOT is as dysfunctional as CalTrans
Driving east bound Clayton road from Concord bart out past Baily Road three newer vehicles with paper plates RACING 55 MPR PLUS FORCING VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD, PASSING ON THE RIGHT, USING LEFT TURN LANES TO PASS . . . .

Tesla has disclosed to federal transportation regulators that February’s fatal crash on Interstate 680 did involve the automated driver-assist system.
.
Common sense would leave one to believe NHTSA would required Tesla to disable the feature.
.
According to Bloomberg, there have been 17 fatal accidents involving Tesla’s automated driving assist system since June of 2021.
