A new ballot initiative is obtaining signatures in, Oregon IP28. My issue is with some of the individuals who are collecting the signatures and are omitting some of the things that IP28 will prohibit. They are putting it forward as stopping cruelty to animals through hunting and fishing but not mentioning the farm/ranching components. Among things that will be prohibited is private individuals from keeping chickens for meat production. If you are artificially inseminating your animals, you will be guilty of sexual assault and have to probably register as a sex offender. It essentially will prevent locally produced meat being available. The economic impact could be staggering.

I just finished making broccoli salad for dinner. I use the same dressing for Coleslaw. 1 cup mayo,1 Tbsp Dijon mustard,  2 tbsp sugar, 2tbsp apple cider vinegar, I add orange or lemon zest. Remember it by  using 1122 referencing ingredient quantity. Salt and pepper to taste.

Now if we are talking lawn mowers Green Works 40 volt lawnmowers are great. Again, an item that was wife requested so she didn't have to fight a gas mower. We also have their pole saw and weed eater.
