The hardest part of having no close friends isn't the loneliness. It's the slow realization that you've become so self-contained that people genuinely believe you don't need them, and at some point you started believing it too.

Our "Onion Event Horizon" is fast approaching.

We have about two weeks supply of last summer's onion crop left so we will have to go back to buying onions again.

Looking at the plethora of disasters created by the despots of the world a lack of yummy onions really is a luxury problem.

Cost me close to $70 to fill up my truck yesterday, and Ovaltine, my go-to treat when I’m feeling down, is close to $8 even at the cheaper supermarkets.

Biking, mass transit, and gardening have never looked so appealing and reasonable. #SelfSufficiency #GrowYourOwn

On a related note, can we PLEASE take back our government from capitalist robber-barons???

Experimenting with sourdough. This loaf is baked in a bread tin and used a combination of organic tipo 00 wheat flour and organic emmer flour.

Just back from a trip to #Austria (#Stubaital). The photo shows the turf and solar panel covered roof of a sport/leisure centre. This represents about 10% of the panels used at the centre. A whole set of covered car parking bays have panels as well.
