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.

For whatever reason even our onions that have been resting in a cellar room for more than seven months are juicer and taste better than shop bought ones.

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.

The problem with the "cloud" per se, isn't the cloud itself, it's the people that own it.

I first posted this in Sept 2024. More true than ever.

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

In fact the whole antithesis between self and the rest of the world, which is implied in the doctrine of self-denial, disappears as soon as we have any genuine interest in persons or things outside ourselves. Through such interests a man comes to feel himself part of the stream of life, not a hard separate entity like a billiard-ball, which can have no relation with other such entities except that of collision.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 2, ch. 17 “The Happy Man” (1930)
