		<description>Thanks for linking to that article- I&#039;ve read it before and found it very good. Now I&#039;ve pinned it. 

I&#039;ve never understood the argument that having a bunch of artists around was good for municipalities bottom line. They create beauty (in theory), not wealth. They need patronage for that and patronage has always come from either the wealthy or productive classes.</description>

		<description>Creating a cool place to live, work, and raise families is just part of the equation. Terre Haute, Indiana is a good example. It was a down and out old midwestern industrial town. Then, in partnership with Rose Hulman Institute, it became a great place for entrepreneurship and is a cool place to dwell now. That&#039;s what Sturgis and St. Joe County was trying to accomplish with our partnership with Trine. Alas, a lack of vision by so many people shot it down.</description>

		<description>I agree with you on the porn. I also think there was some heavy-duty abuse in their past. Just one guy pulling something that evil for that long I could pass off as insanity, but all three? They were taught. 

No excuses and no leniency should be given, but a bunch of questions need to be answered.</description>

		<description>I bet you&#039;re spot on, Eric....do you suppose we will see media attention and demands for bans on certain types of porn (as in recent patterns with &quot;gun violence&quot;)?</description>

		<description>The US/China landmass thing is because people don&#039;t realize that the size of Alaska is MUCH bigger than maps depict.  It&#039;s actually more than twice the size of Texas.</description>

		<description>Eric,

A couple comments:

1.  RE:  Septuagenarian &quot;priestess&quot;:  My wife and I had a similar response.  Who will be the bad guys, once she is an octogenarian herself?  The &quot;nonagenarians&quot;?    I think the tradition is being upheld by from quadragenarians and even younger!

2.  RE: cultural relevance:  BadCatholic has had a post or two about the Church and cultural relevance.  Check out his post from Feb 19 of this year, entitled, &quot;The Catholic Church Young People Actually Want&quot;</description>

		<description>I&#039;m deeply suspicious of the official narrative, mainly because of what they (government and media) choose to omit. Were the Chechens directly involved? Sure, and if they had their way I&#039;m sure they would&#039;ve killed as many people as possible for the Religion of Peace. All those extra explosives were made with a purpose in mind. I&#039;m also sure they had help, and the House of Saud being on the scene within hours for closed door meetings with the Prez and the Secretary of State to collect one of their own is very suspicious.

I&#039;ve resigned myself to the fact that my government thinks the truth is above my pay grade, and have modified my attitudes and behaviors accordingly.</description>

		<description>I have not seen the film, but the size of the wood chips would be important as to how fast they decompose.

The information I have involves laying down sections from the old small square hay bales, which do decompose, mostly over a year.  You might check out the gardening books authored by Ruth Stout in the 1970s (and perhaps earlier) for more on this method.</description>

		<description>Thanks for linking to that article- I&#039;ve read it before and found it very good. Now I&#039;ve pinned it. 

I&#039;ve never understood the argument that having a bunch of artists around was good for municipalities bottom line. They create beauty (in theory), not wealth. They need patronage for that and patronage has always come from either the wealthy or productive classes.</description>

		<description>Creating a cool place to live, work, and raise families is just part of the equation. Terre Haute, Indiana is a good example. It was a down and out old midwestern industrial town. Then, in partnership with Rose Hulman Institute, it became a great place for entrepreneurship and is a cool place to dwell now. That&#039;s what Sturgis and St. Joe County was trying to accomplish with our partnership with Trine. Alas, a lack of vision by so many people shot it down.</description>

		<description>I agree with you on the porn. I also think there was some heavy-duty abuse in their past. Just one guy pulling something that evil for that long I could pass off as insanity, but all three? They were taught. 

No excuses and no leniency should be given, but a bunch of questions need to be answered.</description>

		<description>The US/China landmass thing is because people don&#039;t realize that the size of Alaska is MUCH bigger than maps depict.  It&#039;s actually more than twice the size of Texas.</description>

Sure, and if they had their way I&#039;m sure they would&#039;ve killed as many people as possible for the Religion of Peace. All those extra explosives were made with a purpose in mind. I&#039;m also sure they had help, and the House of Saud being on the scene within hours for closed door meetings with the Prez and the Secretary of State to collect one of their own is very suspicious.

		<description>Thanks for linking to that article- I&#039;ve read it before and found it very good. Now I&#039;ve pinned it. 

I&#039;ve never understood the argument that having a bunch of artists around was good for municipalities bottom line. They create beauty (in theory), not wealth. They need patronage for that and patronage has always come from either the wealthy or productive classes.</description>

		<description>Creating a cool place to live, work, and raise families is just part of the equation. Terre Haute, Indiana is a good example. It was a down and out old midwestern industrial town. Then, in partnership with Rose Hulman Institute, it became a great place for entrepreneurship and is a cool place to dwell now. That&#039;s what Sturgis and St. Joe County was trying to accomplish with our partnership with Trine. Alas, a lack of vision by so many people shot it down.</description>

		<description>The US/China landmass thing is because people don&#039;t realize that the size of Alaska is MUCH bigger than maps depict.  It&#039;s actually more than twice the size of Texas.</description>

		<description>Eric,

A couple comments:

1.  RE:  Septuagenarian &quot;priestess&quot;:  My wife and I had a similar response.  Who will be the bad guys, once she is an octogenarian herself?  The &quot;nonagenarians&quot;?    I think the tradition is being upheld by from quadragenarians and even younger!

2.  RE: cultural relevance:  BadCatholic has had a post or two about the Church and cultural relevance.  Check out his post from Feb 19 of this year, entitled, &quot;The Catholic Church Young People Actually Want&quot;</description>

		<description>I&#039;m deeply suspicious of the official narrative, mainly because of what they (government and media) choose to omit. Were the Chechens directly involved? Sure, and if they had their way I&#039;m sure they would&#039;ve killed as many people as possible for the Religion of Peace. All those extra explosives were made with a purpose in mind. I&#039;m also sure they had help, and the House of Saud being on the scene within hours for closed door meetings with the Prez and the Secretary of State to collect one of their own is very suspicious.

I&#039;ve resigned myself to the fact that my government thinks the truth is above my pay grade, and have modified my attitudes and behaviors accordingly.</description>

		<description>Thanks for linking to that article- I&#039;ve read it before and found it very good. Now I&#039;ve pinned it. 

I&#039;ve never understood the argument that having a bunch of artists around was good for municipalities bottom line. They create beauty (in theory), not wealth. They need patronage for that and patronage has always come from either the wealthy or productive classes.</description>

		<description>Creating a cool place to live, work, and raise families is just part of the equation. Terre Haute, Indiana is a good example. It was a down and out old midwestern industrial town. Then, in partnership with Rose Hulman Institute, it became a great place for entrepreneurship and is a cool place to dwell now. That&#039;s what Sturgis and St. Joe County was trying to accomplish with our partnership with Trine. Alas, a lack of vision by so many people shot it down.</description>

		<description>I agree with you on the porn. I also think there was some heavy-duty abuse in their past. Just one guy pulling something that evil for that long I could pass off as insanity, but all three? They were taught. 

No excuses and no leniency should be given, but a bunch of questions need to be answered.</description>

		<description>The US/China landmass thing is because people don&#039;t realize that the size of Alaska is MUCH bigger than maps depict.  It&#039;s actually more than twice the size of Texas.</description>

		<description>Eric,

A couple comments:

1.  RE:  Septuagenarian &quot;priestess&quot;:  My wife and I had a similar response.  Who will be the bad guys, once she is an octogenarian herself?  The &quot;nonagenarians&quot;?    I think the tradition is being upheld by from quadragenarians and even younger!

2.  RE: cultural relevance:  BadCatholic has had a post or two about the Church and cultural relevance.  Check out his post from Feb 19 of this year, entitled, &quot;The Catholic Church Young People Actually Want&quot;</description>

		<description>I&#039;m deeply suspicious of the official narrative, mainly because of what they (government and media) choose to omit. Were the Chechens directly involved? Sure, and if they had their way I&#039;m sure they would&#039;ve killed as many people as possible for the Religion of Peace. All those extra explosives were made with a purpose in mind. I&#039;m also sure they had help, and the House of Saud being on the scene within hours for closed door meetings with the Prez and the Secretary of State to collect one of their own is very suspicious.

I&#039;ve resigned myself to the fact that my government thinks the truth is above my pay grade, and have modified my attitudes and behaviors accordingly.</description>

		<description>Thanks for linking to that article- I&#039;ve read it before and found it very good. Now I&#039;ve pinned it. 

I&#039;ve never understood the argument that having a bunch of artists around was good for municipalities bottom line. They create beauty (in theory), not wealth. They need patronage for that and patronage has always come from either the wealthy or productive classes.</description>

		<description>Creating a cool place to live, work, and raise families is just part of the equation. Terre Haute, Indiana is a good example. It was a down and out old midwestern industrial town. Then, in partnership with Rose Hulman Institute, it became a great place for entrepreneurship and is a cool place to dwell now. That&#039;s what Sturgis and St. Joe County was trying to accomplish with our partnership with Trine. Alas, a lack of vision by so many people shot it down.</description>

		<description>I agree with you on the porn. I also think there was some heavy-duty abuse in their past. Just one guy pulling something that evil for that long I could pass off as insanity, but all three? They were taught. 

No excuses and no leniency should be given, but a bunch of questions need to be answered.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m deeply suspicious of the official narrative, mainly because of what they (government and media) choose to omit. Were the Chechens directly involved? Sure, and if they had their way I&#039;m sure they would&#039;ve killed as many people as possible for the Religion of Peace. All those extra explosives were made with a purpose in mind. I&#039;m also sure they had help, and the House of Saud being on the scene within hours for closed door meetings with the Prez and the Secretary of State to collect one of their own is very suspicious.

I&#039;ve resigned myself to the fact that my government thinks the truth is above my pay grade, and have modified my attitudes and behaviors accordingly.</description>

		<description>I have not seen the film, but the size of the wood chips would be important as to how fast they decompose.

The information I have involves laying down sections from the old small square hay bales, which do decompose, mostly over a year.  You might check out the gardening books authored by Ruth Stout in the 1970s (and perhaps earlier) for more on this method.</description>

The information I have involves laying down sections from the old small square hay bales, which do decompose, mostly over a year.  You might check out the gardening books authored by Ruth Stout in the 1970s (and perhaps earlier) for more on this method.</description>

		<description>Thanks for linking to that article- I&#039;ve read it before and found it very good. Now I&#039;ve pinned it. 

I&#039;ve never understood the argument that having a bunch of artists around was good for municipalities bottom line. They create beauty (in theory), not wealth. They need patronage for that and patronage has always come from either the wealthy or productive classes.</description>

		<description>Creating a cool place to live, work, and raise families is just part of the equation. Terre Haute, Indiana is a good example. It was a down and out old midwestern industrial town. Then, in partnership with Rose Hulman Institute, it became a great place for entrepreneurship and is a cool place to dwell now. That&#039;s what Sturgis and St. Joe County was trying to accomplish with our partnership with Trine. Alas, a lack of vision by so many people shot it down.</description>

		<description>I agree with you on the porn. I also think there was some heavy-duty abuse in their past. Just one guy pulling something that evil for that long I could pass off as insanity, but all three? They were taught. 

No excuses and no leniency should be given, but a bunch of questions need to be answered.</description>

		<description>I bet you&#039;re spot on, Eric....do you suppose we will see media attention and demands for bans on certain types of porn (as in recent patterns with &quot;gun violence&quot;)?</description>

		<description>The US/China landmass thing is because people don&#039;t realize that the size of Alaska is MUCH bigger than maps depict.  It&#039;s actually more than twice the size of Texas.</description>

		<description>Eric,

A couple comments:

1.  RE:  Septuagenarian &quot;priestess&quot;:  My wife and I had a similar response.  Who will be the bad guys, once she is an octogenarian herself?  The &quot;nonagenarians&quot;?    I think the tradition is being upheld by from quadragenarians and even younger!

2.  RE: cultural relevance:  BadCatholic has had a post or two about the Church and cultural relevance.  Check out his post from Feb 19 of this year, entitled, &quot;The Catholic Church Young People Actually Want&quot;</description>

		<description>I&#039;m deeply suspicious of the official narrative, mainly because of what they (government and media) choose to omit. Were the Chechens directly involved? Sure, and if they had their way I&#039;m sure they would&#039;ve killed as many people as possible for the Religion of Peace. All those extra explosives were made with a purpose in mind. I&#039;m also sure they had help, and the House of Saud being on the scene within hours for closed door meetings with the Prez and the Secretary of State to collect one of their own is very suspicious.

I&#039;ve resigned myself to the fact that my government thinks the truth is above my pay grade, and have modified my attitudes and behaviors accordingly.</description>

		<description>Nothing had changed, except for maybe the escaped suspect’s physical location...if it had been YOUR hometown, that would have been enough.  I kept seeing the police race from one area to another, watched swat teams check out houses, and was glad for the activity.  Would have liked to see more maps; and never did understand if they robbed a store or not?
Your wood chips are starting to sound like the problem.  I get my mulch from the tree trimming guys...for free.  Currently I have three piles in various stages of decomposing: I don&#039;t use the fresh stuff, just the oldest pile.
Glad to see you getting out in the sun in that great looking garden.</description>
