“Java (the duck)” made me laugh. Ho, ho, ho! “Han, ma bookie, baldo nee anna dodo da eena.”

I understand the viability of low to the ground farm produce (carrots, lettuce, potatoes), and to an extent hanging vegetables, but what about tall stemmed produce (wheat, corn, etc?) How viable is that in the vertical arrangement? Is it arranged like a steppe-pyramid? What about trailing vines?

Hey, well, I’m the friendly stranger in the black sedan

Oh, won’t you hop inside my car

I got pictures, got candy, I am a lovable man

I’d like to take you to the nearest star

I’m your vehicle baby

I’ll take you anywhere you wanna go

I’m your vehicle woman

By now, I’m sure you know

That I love ya (love you)

I need ya (need you)

I want to, got to have you child

Great God in Heaven, you know I love you

-The Ides of March “Vehicle” [1970]

While the image is “Gottfrid Svartholm, one of the co-founders of The Pirate Bay in his work station”, he sure looks like Shaggy from Scooby Doo.

OK, but will he go half on the rent?

I hadn’t heard of her. So I looked for her performing. I found this:

Wow, good performance. 7 albums in two years? Wow.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Society_(band)

The Great Society (also known as The Great!! Society!!) was an American rock band that existed from 1965 to 1966, and was closely associated with the burgeoning San Francisco Bay Area acid rock scene.

69-year-old Vester “Moe” Stringfield died after a beating in Morgan County in November 2021.

45-year-old Larry West was standing next to Stringfield’s car, and Johnson said he told deputies he beat up Stringfield, also saying “don’t call me Larry, call me Abraham Lincoln!”

Larry West (AKA Abraham Lincoln) was found guilty of manslaughter. Sentencing is scheduled for June 1.

In a study of the device, Hall and his team found that healthy adults fart some 32 times a day—although some tooted a mere four times, while others passed wind 59 times in a day.

The Smart Underwear is just a first step. Hall also launched the Human Flatus Atlas to recruit and measure flatulence across the population. In particular, the researchers are interested in studying people who eat high-fiber diets but don’t fart much and people who fart a lot.

… Ah, here we go

Shake it, shake, shake it (uh, oh), shake it, shake, shake it

Shake it, shake, shake it, shake it, shake it (uh, oh)

Shake it like a Polaroid picture, (hey ya)…

The release did not detail potential reasons for this rise in colorectal cancer deaths, though a representative for the ACS told NewsNation that researchers were looking into “diet and obesity for sure.”

This echoes previous findings from the ACS, as well as the opinions of medical experts who attribute at least some instances of colon cancer in young adults to “diet, decreased exercise and poor lifestyle choices like increased smoking or drinking,” Dr. Dana Hayden, a colon and rectal surgery specialist with UW Health in Madison, Wisconsin, said in 2023.

“But there are definitely some other factors that could be related to genetics, that could be related to tumor biology,” Hayden added. “So, we are trying to work very quickly to figure this out.”

What you did was a mistake.

• You are not stupid. You are not crazy. You did something you wish you could change and are blaming yourself.

• You have not ruined your life, but if you let this hang over your head, it will ruin things until you forgive yourself and move on.

• If you can make things right (apologizing, asking for a second chance, etc.), do it. If you can’t get things right, then accept that you can’t fix the past, but you can fix today and the future by learning from your mistakes.

• You’re not going to find another person like him. Just like YOU, he’s one of a kind. That does NOT mean there aren’t others you can have a happy relationship with. That also doesn’t mean there could be someone better out there who could make you happier. But if you wallow in self-pity, you might miss out on finding that person.
